CreamwareAudio Modular III

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CreamwareAudio Modular III is a modular synthesizer running on DSPs (Digital Signal Processors, a type of computer chip designed for signal processing), as part of the software environment provided for the Creamware 'Scope' line of sound cards. It has a huge and increasing number of modules covering all aspects of sound synthesis, designed by Creamware Audio GmbH and by other designers.

The software can be run on any PC or Mac (before Mac OS X) using a Creamware Scope Soundcard.

The Creamware Modular Synthesizer has gone through a number of revisions, each adding more modules and greater functionality. The first version was more or less a 'pure' recreation of a traditional hardware modular synth. The later revisions (versions 2 and 3) have taken greater advantage of the fact that a software implementation can have elements not available to in hardware, such as the ability to provide bespoke user interfaces, and have also added a large number of new modules with each release.

A number of 3rd party developers have also created modules for Version 2 and 3 of the software, and the total number of modules available for this system is in the hundreds.
