It combines a systematic exploration of the components of synthesis with a comprehensive reference guide to modules and their interactions. Starting with basic concepts, the book literally takes an empty frame and gradually fills it with modules of all kinds, describing their functions in detailed yet understandable terms. Over 700 modules from dozens of manufacturers have their moment to shine, and luminaries of synthesis fill the book with their particular methods, patches, and viewpoints through a wide range of interviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThousands of modular synthesists – beginners and experienced musicians alike - have widened their horizons and deepened their understanding with PATCH \u0026amp; TWEAK.
