Welcome to the Earth Modular Society Monthular challenge. This is a monthly optional patch prompt to inspire your creative process. To participate, stream on EMS and tag @monthular-stream on the #monthular channel of our Discord before or after you stream. Or, just do the challenges on your own for some patch inspiration!

EMS Monthular is a theme to inspire your patches, and this August we patch our synths wrong. “But,” you say, “there is no wrong way to patch a modular synthesizer.” You are correct. But if you were to patch “wrong,” what you would you do? Last year I clocked a blueberry muffin with Pam’s and sent it through a wave folder. Musical? No. Wrong? Yes. Delicious? Definitely. The interpretation is up to you.

Below is a playlist of this month’s Monthular streams. Select the playlist menu (upper right in the video window), or “Watch on YouTube” (lower left) for playlist contents.
