You might also like to search "analog modeling" or "virtual analog" for models of analog electronic circuits (distortion pedals, filters, etc.) Book about modeling, eg., car engines in Pure Data (eg., for games): https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262014410/designing-sound/ You might check out the source code to Émilie Gillet's (of Mutable Instruments) Rings and Elements modules: https://github.com/pichenettes/eurorack "Designing the Make Noise Erbe-Verb" Reverb Design Lecture": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il_qdtQKnqk&t=18s Sean Costello's (of Valhalla DSP) blog about mostly reverbs: https://valhalladsp.wordpress.com/

If you're looking to bring in more OSS and expand the sound synth pallet, you could bring in some of the Mutable Instruments code a la Arturia and the Microfreak. https://github.com/pichenettes/eurorack

But can they not just house a computer inside? A lot of modern modules _do_ just have a computer inside - for an open-source example, many of the Mutable Instruments modules use AVR or STM32 controllers: https://github.com/pichenettes/eurorack

learning that free software clones of Mutable Instruments hardware exist One of the lovely things about Mutable is that Émilie makes all of the hardware designs open-source (either GPL or MIT). Both software and hardware clones are widely available. https://github.com/pichenettes/eurorack

Hi, If you're interested in learning to build Audio Units, it can be a uphill battle. Most of the examples are very minimal and incomplete. When I started out, there was no complete synthesizer or effect that had been open sourced so I had to stumble through a lot of weird bugs, edge cases, and incomplete examples to build Spectrum. Spectrum's powered by open source. The main DSP code is based on Mutable Instruments code(1), which Emilie has graciously open sourced for many years. Her code has inspired and empowered countless little synth designers like myself to make something else of value, so I figured it was sort of my responsibility to do the same and share what I've learnt.

Hey, author here. Thanks for the great feedback! I totally agree on all of the points. I've already considered the global play/volume controls with a main output patch point and will redo the slider to look more as an actual slider. The presets and tutorials/documentation is something that just needs a lot of time, which is really limited for a side project :) Patchcab started as an exercise for myself to learn the basics of modular audio and music theory. Working with tools I already know seemed the best idea and the Tone.js was a prefect fit for this. The exercise then turned to an idea of a modular (code and audio wise) Javascript/Typescript synth that would resemble VCV visually. Porting VCV itself to a browser is a really interesting idea and has been done to some extent https://github.com/miRackModular/Rack, but is really out of sc

Mutable Instruments modules are some of my absolute favorite! All of her modules are fully open-source as well: https://github.com/pichenettes/eurorack

If you want to learn how to program synthesizers, I suggest reading some of the DSP code by Emilie Gillet (Mutable Instruments) https://github.com/pichenettes/eurorack
