I started to build my own modular synthesiser in Euro rack format in 2020, mainly based on the open-source schematics from YuSynth designed by French cellular and molecular biologist and synth hobbyist Yves Usson. Modules can be found on his website https://yusynth.net/Modular/index_en.html.

The synth part of the track is made from a simple saw wave shaped by an ADSR envelope, run through the YuSynth’s copy of the Moog low pass filter and modulated by LFO. Tones were played on the CV controller Arturia Beatstep Pro, which perfectly works with modular synthesisers to trigger various modules’ gates.

The lead part has been recorded and modulated by Ableton Live grain delay and hybrid reverb. I also used my digital multi-effect module from Lexicon.
