This is an easy way to make a single oscillator sound like a pair of oscillators in unison but slightly detuned, and in general creates a more animated sound.Ī few factors that make the typical PWM patch a little different in the Modular V software than you might expect on, say, your Eurorack modular include: Changing the width of this pulse on the fly gives the aural impression of detuning or chorusing, as you get sort of a Doppler shift while the edge of the pulse is moving. In the movie below I show how to create a typical PWM ( pulse width modulation) patch.įor those who don’t already know, PWM is the technique where you dynamically vary the width of the “square” waveform, changing it between a thinner, reedier-sounding pulse and something that more closely resembles a nice fat square. Covering everything from stunning pianos, gargantuan organs, earthshaking analog synths, and essential digital music makers, Arturia’s V Collection 8 is the perfect addition to your virtual instrument arsenal.I recently released a course on and LinkedIn Learning on how to use the Arturia Modular V software synth, which is modeled on the old Moog modular systems. That said, these emulations often surpass their hardware ancestors, boasting cutting-edge modern functionality that wasn’t available to old-school synth pioneers.

This virtual instrument bundle includes more than 8,000 sounds from 28 vintage keyboards and synths with the spot-on realism that Arturia is famous for. V Collection 8: Iconic Instrument AnthologyĬlassic DCO-infused synth sounds, grungy vintage digital textures, mind-boggling vocoder effects, and aggressive-sounding growls - you’ll find all of that and more in Arturia’s V Collection 8.
