A comprehensive modular synthesis bundle for Voltage Modular, combining VM2500, VM900, and Synthesizer Expander Module collections to deliver vintage analog-inspired sound design tools at a bundled value.
Purpose
The Year Three Collection is a curated bundle of three modular synthesis collections designed for Cherry Audio’s Voltage Modular platform. It unifies the VM2500 Collection, VM900 Collection, and Synthesizer Expander Module Bundles, aiming to provide a broad palette of vintage analog-style modules for sound design and music production.
The collection focuses on emulating the character of classic analog synthesizers, emphasizing warmth, richness, and complexity. It is intended for users seeking an expansive toolkit to craft nostalgic tones, from faithful recreations of iconic sounds to exploratory modular patching, without needing to purchase each bundle separately.
Key Capabilities
The VM2500 Collection delivers iconic vintage synthesizer sounds and features, capturing the essence of classic analog tones. The VM900 Collection offers modules inspired by legendary synths, providing authentic analog-inspired options to expand creative possibilities. Together, they cover a wide range of sonic textures.
The Synthesizer Expander Module Bundles add extra functionality and versatility, enabling users to enhance their modular setups. Each module is meticulously designed to reproduce the warmth and character associated with vintage analog synthesis, making the collection suitable for both faithful recreations and innovative patching.
Workflow
In a typical workflow, users load Voltage Modular and integrate modules from the VM2500 and VM900 collections into their patches, leveraging classic filter, oscillator, and envelope designs. The expander bundles can then be added to introduce supplementary modulation or utility functions, extending the patch’s complexity.
This modular approach encourages hands-on exploration: users can start with a basic voice from the VM900, layer it with VM2500 processing, and use expanders to route control signals or add effects. The collections are designed for both beginners learning modular synthesis and experienced users crafting detailed analog-inspired patches.
Applications
Practical applications include music production genres that rely on vintage analog timbres, such as electronic, synthwave, or ambient. The collections enable sound designers to create rich pads, basses, and leads with a classic character, while the expander modules allow for more intricate modulation and experimental soundscapes.
The bundle is also suitable for live performance, as its modularity facilitates real-time parameter tweaking and creative routing. For film scoring or game audio, the analog-inspired tones can add nostalgic warmth. The cost-effective bundling makes it an accessible entry point for newcomers to modular synthesis.
