Connecting Acoustic Instruments and Modular Synthesizers: VCV Rack Tutorial

In this video I share different techniques for connecting acoustic instruments into your modular synth setup using VCV Rack. We'll take a look at how to add effects and process external sound sources using VCV Rack, how to use your acoustic instruments as control and modulation sources for your modular synth patches, and how to use VCV Rack as a hub between your acoustic instrument and other hardware synths or MIDI capable gear.
