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.
Eurorack is a modular synthesis format with standardised dimensions, power connections, and signal levels. Eurorack systems are built from individual modules mounted in cases, allowing users to create highly customisable instruments tailored to specific sound design and performance needs.
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.
A module is a self-contained unit designed to perform a specific function within a larger system. Modules are commonly used in modular and Eurorack setups, where each unit handles tasks such as sound generation, modulation, filtering, or control, allowing systems to be built and expanded piece by piece.
