The better you understand your tools, the better artist you will be.

That’s particularly true with modular synthesizers. Although they are incredibly powerful and flexible, they can also be less than intuitive. And nothing breaks the creative flow like fighting with your tools.

I’d like to help you with that. I started using modular synths as a teen in the 70s, and have since gone on to design, write about, teach how to use, compose with, record, and perform on a variety of electronic music devices. Despite my years of experience, I haven't forgotten what it's like to be new user, excited but also confused or bewildered by the "lingo" and all of the terms and techniques experienced users take for granted. This means I put an extra effort into breaking down complex technical subjects into advice you can understand and put to work.

This Patreon channel is where I get to dig deep into how modular synths work, as well as patch and module design ideas (including how to coax more out of the modules you already have), how to configure a system to act as your personal instrument (or orchestra!), and how to compose and perform with them – including deep-dives on all of the tracks I create under the name Alias Zone.

To get a better idea of what I’ll be sharing with you, click here to explore the index of posts to get an idea of what I write about - there are literally hundreds of posts already in the library for you to learn from. Then check out the different Tiers of support to decide which is the best fit for you. And if you’re still uncertain, watch the video here to learn more about me and my background.

I look forward to you joining me on this wonderful journey!
