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 month we use voices at the heart of things. You could plug a microphone into your system and process what goes in. Or use a recording (non-copyrighted material only!!!!!). Or just use talking to drive an envelope generator or comparator for CV: we don’t need to actually hear the voice for it to still be doing something. Or play with formants. Or figure out how to convert speech to text and then convert the ascii numbers of the letters into midi notes…..

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.
