Can I emulate a Eurorack modular set-up in software?

Given that practically every notable synth ever made has been emulated in software at some point, it probably won’t surprise you to learn that modular instruments have been on developers’ radars. In fact, there are any number of modular synths and environments to choose from. If you specifically want to create a Eurorack-style set-up, though, two products in particular stand out. Firstly, there’s Reaktor 6; this version of NI’s modular environment added Blocks – Euro-style modules that can be patched together to create custom instruments. Secondly, there’s Softube’s Modular, which goes one stage further by featuring official emulations of Eurorack gear.

Both products come recommended. Modular is cheaper, but it’s worth noting that Blocks is just one of many strings that Reaktor has to its bow.
