Modular synthesizer

A modular synthesizer is a type of musical instrument that uses lots of different building blocks called modules that can be arranged and connected together in different ways. It is like having a musical Lego set. You can take the modules and snap them together to create your own custom sounds. Each module has a specific job, like adding bass or making a drone sound. By connecting the modules together, you can create unique musical patterns and sounds.
