'''Modular synthesizers''' are [[synthesizer]]s composed of separate modules for different functions. The modules can be connected together by the user to create a [[patch (synthesizer)|patch]]. The outputs from the modules may include [[audio signal]]s, analog [[control voltage]]s, or [[digital signal]]s for logic or timing conditions. Typical modules are [[voltage-controlled oscillator]]s, [[voltage-controlled filter]]s, [[voltage-controlled amplifier]]s and [[envelope generator]]s.
