Modules and Patching in Voltage Modular Ignite

Ignite includes a collection of modules that cover the core building blocks of a modular synth. Cherry Audio states that Voltage Modular supports unlimited pop-up mults on all inputs and outputs, so one signal can feed several destinations without extra modules. Modules and groups of modules can be repositioned freely, and cables can be moved and rerouted at any time. Cable signal flow indicators and visual feedback on the control panels make it easier to follow what is happening in a patch.

The platform's processing is described as 64-bit double-precision with zero-latency, per-sample module processing. Cherry Audio says this allows audio-rate frequency and amplitude modulation, oscillator sync and deep delay feedback.

Presets and Expandability

Ignite comes with 296 presets, which give you working patches to study and adjust before building your own. This is useful if you are new to modular synthesis and want to see how signal chains are constructed.

The Voltage Modular module browser lets you buy and automatically install additional modules and sound presets from within the software. Ignite is the starting point of that ecosystem rather than a closed package.
