I want to get an idea of how people think about patching and go about making something similar to this. How many synth voices would you use? What would you modulate? How would you control that modulation? What modules might you think essential to achieve the end result?

On first listen, this sounds to me like a heavily filtered polysynth (or string machine?) and sampled piano with a lot of reverb. You might be able to get close with running an inexpensive poly or ROMpler through something like QPAS and Mimeophon. Curious how others might approach it.


I'd say the same as @farkas and probably wouldn't do it with modular... I'd just "scribble" all over it with modular though!

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!
