Modular Synthesizers - Hardware and Software Integration
with Graham Collins

In this clinic we'll be discussing, and running experiments on the integration of hardware modular synthesizers with their software counterparts. 
This will include using virtual instruments such as Softube's Modular, Cherry Audio's Voltage, and touch on others such as VCV Rack, and Native Instruments Reaktor Blocks.
The result will be the creation of some `monster-sized hybrid analog/digital instruments and effects that demonstrate the power and size of the approach.
Finally, we'll look at where this all may lead, and implications for studio environments in the future.

Graham Collins is a former Composer for Independent Film, and Synthesist, who has worked with modular synthesizers and related technology since the late 80s.
