Free Modular Synth


Blok is a simple, easy to use modular synth environment designed as a tool for teaching synthesis to students.

It's available as a standalone program, VST or Buzz Machine, and is straightforward enough for beginners to use without drowning in a sea of possibilities.

With 5 types of oscillator and a bundle of controllers and modifiers, including filters, delays, waveshapers, LFOs and envelopes, this is a very versatile package.

Blok even includes external knobs so that parameters can be automated from your host software.

You can read more about Blok, check the manual and download the installer here.

And there's a pretty detailed wiki here, which already includes tutorials on synthesising specific sounds such as kick drums and hoover basses and should become even more comprehensive over the coming weeks.
