Editing Modular synthesizer (section)

==Modular software synthesizers ==
There are also [[software synthesizer]]s which are organized as interconnectable modules. Many of these are [[virtual analog synthesizer]]s, where the modules simulate hardware functionality. Some of them are also virtual modular systems, which simulate real historical modular synthesizers.

Computers have grown so powerful that software programs can now model the signals, sounds, and patchability of modular synthesizers. While potentially lacking the physical presence of desirable analog sound generation, real voltage manipulation, knobs, sliders, cables, and [[LED]]s, software modular synthesizers offer near infinite variations and visual patching at a more affordable price and in compact form.

The popular [[Plug-in (computing)|plugin]] formats such as [[Virtual Studio Technology|VST]] may be combined in a modular fashion.
