Moog modular software?

[ignatius]

you could get a nord modular G1 or G2 used. or if you use reaktor go to the user library and get the RUHR ensemble.

there's also VAZ modular

I recommend VAZ Modular. It's still one of the best sounding soft-synths IMO. Some people don't like the lack of "wires" but I find it pretty straight forward to work with. Look at Karma modular as well, pretty good and easy to use. Zebra also sounds great but is a bit harder to wrap your head around at first.

If you just want something that gives you the basic ideas of cable patching and modules, try this freeware Sonigen

It's a full fledged modular system that let's you drag and drop modules, wires included ! However, the oscillator selection is fairly limited, but it'll give you a rough idea of patching and what not.

As far as sound quality goes, meh, there is better.

A friend of mine has the Arturia Moog software and loves it. It sounds great to me, but I haven't been in the same room with the real thing so nothing to compare it to.
It seems very simple to use, which is key as modulars can be complicated to those not familiar.

I have a real Moog IIP and the Arturia software version. The Arturia MMV is great for certain things, but I can assure you that while its "close" its not the same thing. If you are looking for something beyond the Arturia MMV, at least as far as being able to add and remove modules, then I recommend Reaktor which is unbelievably deep.

I'd like to do this with my life and with people in general.I would like to try things as a robot with robots first to see if things turn out ok,If they do,I'll get human's to substitute and duplicate the process.

So so true.

yeah, probably too deep for what he's looking for. it's not like Reaktor in general works anything like a real modular. well, sort of, but it's not quite plug and play.

however, the Reaktor User Library does feature Chet Singer's fantastic 'Ampere' modules which pretty much do work like this. they end up on a fixed panel, but the behind-the-scenes wiring is very simple (based on the Nord G2 software). nobody ever talks about them though, everyone just seems to mention Herw's creations which (while fantastic) are of fixed configuration similar to the Moog Modular V.

one option that might be worth checking out is the *free* Nord Modular G2 Demo software. that might be great for your needs, and it's probably the easiest to use modular software that exists.



some other options (some previously mentioned):

- KarmaFX Modular: i like this quite a bit. pretty easy to use, with a great degree of flexibility. has some downsides, but overall i think it's one of the best choices for this sort of thing.

- Sonigen Modular: modeled after the Nord software editor. not impressed with the sound or function overall. i really wanted to like it, but was pretty disappointed.

- Vaz Modular: not a fan myself. the interface is clunky and it's ugly as hell. every once in a while i'll fire up the demo to see if my view on it has changed, but just end up pissed off.

- AAS Tassman: do not like. at all.

I so wanted to get into Tassman. I think it sounds good, but they really need a better way to wire those modules together. I figured it would be in the next version, and you know how that goes...

not only that, but wtf is with making it look like lab equipment? those big meters and all that wasted space? f'ing horrible...



same with Vaz Modular, too much wasted space (amongst other crimes).

oh, i forgot about the SonicCore Modular IV. seems f'ing great, but requires their hardware and is damn expensive.

These days the cool kids are into Roland modular emulators...
