The GMSN! Pure Modular is a sleek eurorack modular synthesiser for people who want to get started in Eurorack. We believe in the power of simplicity so we’ve stripped things back to focus on pure modular synthesis.
The idea behind the GMSN! Pure Modular is to provide musicians with the fundamental building blocks of modular synthesis. There are loads of amazing modules on the market today with a host of functionality packed into a very small space. While these are really cool, it can be difficult to understand what’s going on under the hood. Modular synthesizers are incredibly powerful instruments, but without a solid foundation it’s impossible to progress to deeper patch strategies.
The GMSN! Pure Modular ships with a comprehensive range of modules , an analogue signal path consisting of VCO, two VCFs, a VCA and an LFO. Digital control is provided by a Sequencer, Quantiser and two ADSRs, all contained in sturdy, attractive Case with Power. Everything you need to get started in modular at a fraction of the price. We chose two VCFs as they self oscillate, providing a sine wave. This opens up the options for deeper cross modulation.
All modules and accessories are available to purchase individually. We also offer our products in kit form, the whole system can be built yourself. A rundown of how each module works and full specs of the system are on the following pages.
Glasgow Make Some Noise! are seeking to revolutionise modular synthesis by providing an accessible and affordable system that will enhance your understanding of sound synthesis. More than just a pro audio company, GMSN! are a community of builders, designers and hackers.
The Pure Modular is available now at gmsn.co.uk and will be available in shops in the near future.
