im glad someone like you is around to inspire newcomers to build small systems around actual synthesis/things you cant really replicate in software as opposed to like 95 percent of synth youtube showing small systems which are usually just some mutable modules pooing out generic rings into cloud ambience.

There’s nothing here you can’t do in software. I don’t point that out to argue with what you’re saying, but to redirect the dialog about what’s novel here to user experience. The building that’s involved in modular is something you don’t get in software, and as humans it is this kind of process and interactivity that helps us connect.

@@johnnybeaver8351 you first posit "there's nothing here you can't do in software", but then go on to say that, "The building that’s involved in modular is something you don’t get in software", which is a bit self contradictory. in any case, by "building" i assume you are referring to modular synthesis's namesake (ie - the myriad routing possibilities of audio rate and control voltages to create unique signal paths). vcv rack (and to some degree supercollider and max for live and im sure several others) does exactly this. im certainly not suggesting that you couldnt approximate this system in software to at least some degree. however, it is objectively not going to sound identical and will not behave identically either. is it possible to get it so close as to not being able to tell in a mix with other sounds and instruments going on in tandem? i would think probably. are most listeners going to care either way? i would think probably not. i dont know that i would refer to modular synthesis as "novel" as it has been around for a long time (lets not forget about analog computing either) but you are correct in what i believe was one of the points you were intending to get across here as far as the physical interface being an inspiring aspect of using the instrument, which of course cannot be replicated using software alone. all this is to say, asserting that there is "nothing here that you can't do in software" is objectively wrong, as was already evidenced by your train of thought in the second half of your comment, even if not accurately pointing to exactly what isn't. and just to add, im not hating on digital or software based instruments and effects at all, theres tons of cool stuff available that people have worked very hard to create. for me personally however, they are often (to your point) much less inspiring to use.

@@andmoreagain I’m not really sure where your misinterpretation is happening, but I didn’t disagree with your statement in the first place. You’re making a compelling argument for sure, but you’re basically just repeating my own opinion. Something I can add though, is that novel isn’t a term inextricably tied to newness. And even if it were, in the grand scheme of creative tooling I’d say modular synthesis would still barely be a blip on the timeline.

@@johnnybeaver8351 @johnnybeaver8351 i promise im not trying to be argumentative for the sake of it, but i dont believe i am misinterpreting what you have originally written at all. if you feel i am somehow echoing your original sentiment, than your thoughts do not appear to be effectively communicated here. however, i am glad to know that you do largely feel similarly. not to be overly pedantic but novel is by definition used to describe something new and interesting or unique in approach, so you are objectively incorrect to say it is not inextricably tied to its own definition. the literal first synonym listed for "novel" in merriam-webster is "new". additionally, i feel you are underestimating how much early modular synthesis contributed to the course of modern music over the past several decades; synthesis in general has been monumental in the development of music and sound design as a whole. in any case, just enjoy making music the way you like to do it! ☮︎

@@andmoreagain I believe you, for sure. Text based communication has its issues. ;) For the sake of conversation, I stand by my assessment, but I think it doesn’t matter a whole lot (and certainly don’t put myself beyond poor communication). I will recommend you read the rest of the entry on the term (anywhere, but merriam-webster covers it), which points out that it does not always imply newness in a chronological sense. It’s fairly common to use the term to describe uniqueness, which in the grand scheme of human creativity (something that’s a few hundred thousand years old in the way I think about it), modular in general has many novel elements. So I’d apply the term both ways anyhow. Nothing to argue about or course, but I appreciate the internet civility! Not enough of that. As an aside, personally I use hardware and software modular in a number of studio and teaching contexts and find that there’s awesome shit about all approaches. I’m far more interested in modular nowadays,, but I used to develop VSTs and enjoy fixed architecture for different reasons as well. The irony maybe is that I quit music a long time ago but have continued my love through sound design and sound art.
