Clockwork Voltage: Modul@rnice: First patch

Modul@rnice workshop starting at a new location, together with the Clockwork Voltage community!

12 May 2026 | 19.00–21.00 @ osmo/za, Litijska 38, 1000 Ljubljana

The world of modular synthesis is vast, and getting started can feel overwhelming. Even after you learn the basics, it often seems like a giant rabbit hole is waiting to swallow you whole. What do I actually need? Which module should I buy first? What does each module really do? Can I build my own case? How do modules connect to power?

We will explore all these and many other other questions together at the First patch workshop, led by experienced members of the Clockwork Voltage community, and of course, make that first basic patch in practice!

Three modular systems, assembled over the years with the help of Modul@rnice participants, will be available for you to explore.

Mentor

Clockwork Voltage meetings connect the Slovenian community united by enthusiasm for modular synthesizers with a beautiful number of creators active in various fields of art. The name of the community is an anagram of the title of the film by director Stanley Kubrick, A Clockwork Orange. “Clock” is one of the basic elements of composing with modular synthesis, driving the change of output voltages.

The purpose of the community is primarily to promote live concerts. It fills the gap of live performances, which require extensive experience and knowledge for successful live execution. The breadth of the community is also represented by the first compilation, Happy Little Voltages, which aims to promote domestic production and features 17 local musicians. The release offers a listening marathon and insight into current production with modular synthesizers, showcasing a wide spectrum of expression.

In addition to Eurorack modules, the community also uses other formats like Buchla, Ciant-Lombarde, and a very wide range of DIY analog instruments and vintage sound synthesizers.
