She is the goddess of synthesizers and one of the first people I stumbled upon when I was learning about synths: https://youtu.be/UsW2EDGbDqg

She was not only a master composer, she also helped with the development of the Moog synthesizer, the first commercial synth.

Synth sims are the cheap way to go. Cardinal is an open source fork of VCV Rack. It can be used standalone or as a plugin with your favorite DAW.

All the concepts are the same as modular "euro rack" synths. Voltage lines, oscillators, the works. You even use "wires" to connect everything.

All YouTube tutorials for VCV are generally applicable to Cardinal, btw.

If you want to go the DAW route, it should work with the free version of FL Studio. It's just much easier to do full tracks that way. However: FL Studio is not easy to learn and even less so when you are integrating something like Cardinal.

Edit: I apologize in advance if this post is the reason you fall into the money pit that is digital music.

You left your SI in that link. It's a tracking code Google uses to tell who you've been talking to on other websites.

Thanks. Got rid of it.

I had the switched on Bach cassette when I was a kid. I thought it was cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn0HAWX1TSA&list=PLLICd7vQi7iGUyErozBAwgcr4F49kxiXY
