This is a short video about Additive Synthesis in VCV Rack. I start with a short introduction of what is Additive Synthesis, and then I build a patch using a few oscillators that are directly connected to Additive Synthesis.

Indispensable à connaitre (Wichtig zu Wissen – google traduction !). Thank you, Omri
Great instructive video.
OK, now something even more odd than having ADDITIVE synthesis on a Eurorack system:
Additive synthesis out of SUBTRACTIVE synthesis.
Theory:
A square wave, as we know, is just ALL the harmonics of a given frequency summed together.
Hypotesis:
By filtering out the harmonics of a square wave with a set of self oscillating filters (i.e.: A-120, A-122, A-105, modded A-124, …) and then summing them by using an exponential mixer (i.e.: A-138b), we should obtain the same effect.
Benefits:
* Uses one single VCO (which is typically more expensive than or equal to the cost of 2 filters).
* The sines are always in tune, since they come from the same base frequency.
To Be Verified.
