Like Voltage Modular, Softube Modular is expandable beyond the core package, although the shop page is nowhere near as busy as Cherry Audio’s bustling storefront. Those are accompanied by 50 ‘stock’ modules, providing sequencing, mixing, effects, clock dividers and much more and if you have certain other Softube plugins installed (Monoment Bass, Heartbeat, Statement Lead et al), they’ll show up for patching in the rack as well.
Maxing out the Eurorack authenticity, Softube’s modular synth was developed in partnership with Doepfer themselves, so the seven component-modelled A-100 module recreations (A-110 VCO, A-108 VCF, A-140 ADSR, A-147 VCLFO, A-118 Noise/Random, A-132-3 Dual VCA, and A-114 Ring Modulator) at its heart can be considered definitive. And being an Arturia production, top notch sound is a given, with Modular V3 ably delivering the rich, warm tones and complex modulations of the real thing.

Patching is done by dragging virtual cables between patch points, as usual, and while this is unarguably the least ‘spectacular’ of the bunch, being reliant on such a comparatively small library of modules does focus the creative process and yield a consistent character that vintage fetishists will appreciate. Originally a development collaboration with Bob Moog himself, Modular V3 puts you in command of a well-stocked and freely patchable rack of modules in a vertically scrolling rack, including up to nine oscillators and a noise generator, three main filters and a 14-band resonant filterbank, six envelopes, four envelope followers, two LFOs, a Bode frequency shifter, a sample-and-hold module, a step sequencer, and delay, chorus and phaser effects. While the other five entrants in our list take Eurorack as their clear inspiration, Arturia’s old-school offering is an authentic emulation of the legendary synth that got the ball rolling: the Moog Modular.

With its empowering interface, nifty workflow and a truly massive range of free and paid-for modules in the integrated Store (not to mention the generous selection that comes with the basic Core Bundle), Voltage Modular is an ambitious and hugely rewarding instrument for the adventurous synthesist. Version 2 (a free update) built enthusiastically on that early success with the introduction of internal busses, any number of variations per patch for real-time switching via triggering and CV, the removal of the six-jack limit per socket, integrated audio recording, parameter randomisation, and a wealth of new polyphonic modules.

The launch of Voltage Modular in 2018 immediately put US-based developers Cherry Audio on the music technology map, with its appealing combination of intuitive patching, stellar sound and a rapidly expanding library of first and third party modules available via IAP, the latter including numerous outstanding contributions by DSP veterans PSP Audioware.
