Modular Synthesizers (English Version)

Heiner Kruse Modular Synthesizers

Modular Synthesizers, the recently translated English edition of Heiner Kruse's much-revered German text, presents a comprehensive guide to the world of modular synthesizers. Practically oriented, the book packs a wealth of information ranging from the foundational principles of sound synthesis to advanced music production techniques, from sound design know-how to practical live performance tips. Most importantly, the knowledge is shared in a clear, straightforward, and easy-to-follow manner, accompanied by more than two hundred illustrations, software example patches, and audio files.

Kruse, a veteran drum and bass producer himself, imbues the book with a career's worth of experience. Comfortably occupying the space between a crash course, a reference manual, and an anthology, it has something to offer whether you are just starting out or an advanced wiggler firmly planted in the modular world. All in all, a fitting tribute to one of the most open-ended and enigmatic musical instruments in history.
