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 the idea is to take it slow. This could be a slow BPM, or a slowly evolving patch. Maybe it’s a sample that’s played back over a long time. Or it could be a cozy ambient patch to prepare for hibernation as the days (in the northern hemisphere) grow shorter, and the weather becomes (historically) colder.

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.
