June’s three-part series, Understanding Synthesis (from a Modular Perspective), is all about making the fundamentals of synthesis more approachable and useful for your own music. Whether you're new to sound design or just want to better understand how synthesis works under the hood, this series will walk you through key concepts using modular building blocks inside VCV Rack. You don’t need any prior modular experience to follow along, and even if you don’t use VCV Rack, you’ll come away with practical knowledge you can apply inside your DAW.

In Part One, we’ll start from the ground up. You’ll learn how to build a basic rack, understand how envelopes work, trigger sequences, and see why VCAs are more important than most people think. Each step is designed to build clarity around core ideas that often seem intimidating or confusing. I’m excited to bring you along for the ride and would love to hear what you think in the comments.

Cheers,
