SUMMARY
Modular is the closest simulation of Eurorack you can get as a plug-in.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Modular is currently the closest direct simulation of Eurorack available in a plug-in. It sounds fantastic and offers many modules that are virtual recreations of real (and choice) hardware modules. As well as a synth, you can use Modular as an insert effect, so it adds an experimental signal processing toy box to your DAW. There are some basic things that would make Modular better to use, such as a freely resizable plug-in window, and more MDI modulation and control possibilities.
Softube make it clear in the manual that you can’t fully replicate the physical experience of using a modular synth in software. Using a hardware synth puts you into a different headspace, there’s a relationship between your physical movement and the sound that forms a more direct feedback loop.
There is, though, a lot of upside in the form of patch saving and recall, DAW automation and portability. You can rebuild your rack any time and use multiples of any module (although there’s a danger that you only ever scratch the surface of things). But it’s not a zero-sum game – if you’re a hardware Eurorack fan, Modular is great for prototyping new ideas or purchase options, and there’s always the possibility of connecting via a suitable audio interface. Above all, Modular makes modular synthesis accessible to many more people, and at a much lower cost.
