Analogue is sound generation based on physical electronic circuits such as oscillators, filters, and amplifiers rather than digital processing. It produces continuously variable signals with natural drift, saturation, and harmonic character, giving sounds a distinctive warmth and movement. Analogue instruments are valued for their hands-on control, immediacy, and expressive response in both studio and live performance environments.
CV is control voltage used to transmit continuous electrical signals between electronic instruments and modules. It allows parameters such as pitch, filter cutoff, amplitude, and modulation to be controlled in a fluid, analogue manner. CV is fundamental to modular and semi-modular systems, enabling direct, real-time interaction between sound sources, controllers, and processors.
Digital is sound generation and processing based on digital signal processing rather than analogue circuitry. It is used for precise control, stable tuning, patch memory, and complex sound design that would be difficult to achieve with purely analogue systems. For example, a digital instrument might be used to create detailed evolving textures or realistic emulations while storing and recalling complete sound setups instantly.
Hybrid is a design approach that combines analogue and digital technologies within a single instrument. Hybrid instruments use analogue circuitry for character and warmth alongside digital control or processing for stability, flexibility, and expanded functionality.
Modular is a synthesis format made up of separate, interchangeable modules that are patched together to create custom signal paths. It allows complete freedom over sound design, sequencing, and modulation, with each system built to suit the user’s workflow and creative approach.
