Yesterday I've introduce you guy to a website with basic music synthesis technic. But i have forgotten to give you the tool for practice. So today i will lead you to a website that offer a great VST synth modular.

Before that, I want to give you a brief intro on it. KarmaFX Synth Modular 0.99 BETA is a cut down version of the famous Native Instruments Reaktor. It serve the same propose for all of us to build a synth. An advice from me is, as a beginner, it's better to try on something cheap before you get your hands dirty with the expensive NI Reaktor. Here are some of the features of KarmaFX Synth Modular:

- Modular patching of synth components and controls.
- Internal high-frequency digital simulation of analogue voltage levels.
