Modular Synthesis with VCV Rack
Schedule

Goethe-Institut Johannesburg | Johannesburg, GT
This session will explore how to route MIDI and audio between Ableton Live and VCV Rack, opening up an entirely new world of creative possibilities for music production, sound design, sequencing, modulation, and live experimentation.
VCV Rack brings the flexibility of a modular synthesizer environment into your computer, allowing you to build custom signal chains, create evolving sounds, experiment with modulation, and design unique instruments and effects. Combined with Ableton Live, it becomes a powerful creative system where modular synthesis and modern DAW workflows work together seamlessly.
Throughout the workshop, we’ll explore practical techniques for controlling VCV Rack with Ableton MIDI devices, generating complex sequences and modulation, processing audio through modular effects chains, and bringing the results back into Ableton for further mixing and production. We’ll also touch on the fundamentals of modular synthesis and signal flow, making the session approachable for beginners while still offering plenty of creative inspiration for experienced producers.
Whether you’re interested in experimental sound design, electronic music production, generative music, or simply expanding your Ableton workflow, this session will give you practical knowledge and new creative ideas you can immediately apply to your own projects.
Free event, all experience levels are welcome.
