The Complex Oscillator, Low Pass Gates and Shaper modules, build on the works on Don Buchla (or West Coast style) and the regular Oscillator and ladder design Filter module, derive more from the Bob Moog school of synth design. Combine them anyway you like and craft your very own unique synth sounds.If you're a seasoned modular synth enthusiast, you can dive right in.

Pro-Tip for MyPluginWorld Users

Modular synthesis can look intimidating, but Complex-1 is surprisingly playable. To get a massive, evolving "West Coast" lead, try routing the Sequencer to the Complex Oscillator's FM amount while using the Low Pass Gate for your volume envelope. This creates a percussive, organic pluck that changes timbre with every note—something traditional subtractive synths just can't replicate!
