Can a modular synthesizer without MIDI or samples or a computer do synthwave? You be the judge.
Not pictured: the modular synth. But I went for a nice n stereotypical graphic

@eg0n I'd say that's definitely pretty close, and I'd probably go out on a limb and call it synthwave.
Although, as a long-time synthwave fan, I want to say that the sound is just a little too clean - it's missing those MIDI string overtones and chords that are kinda the signature sound of synthwave. Do you know what I'm talking about? Like, that whole "string section" patch or MIDI sound is what I'm talking about. I don't really know how else to describe it.
Your version sounds like synthwave for the NES (not meant to be disparaging in any way, just meaning to capture the digital "clean-ness" of it).
@SynAck oh I know exactly what you mean! My modular synth is extremely limited and, long story short, I have neither enough oscillators nor enough sequencer channels to be able to do the slow string section chords sounds .
My whole case can really only do 4 "voices" at the same time, so it gets maxed out real fast. 😂 Part of the fun is trying to do it with these drastic analog limitations. I have to make a lot of tradeoffs and choices
Thanks for listening!
