Bullfrog is a classic subtractive synthesis synthesizer.It consists of several "modules" for sound generation (VCO, NOISE GENERATOR) and processing (VCF, VCA/DELAY), and "modules" (ENVELOPE GENERATORS ).And sample & hold. Bullfrog either interconnects "modules" using eurorack patch cables or by inserting voice cards that create internal connections between "modules" in a specific way and add additional functionality such as samplers. It does not generate sound on its own unless patched. / Loopers, sequencers, grooveboxes, etc.This approach helps us better understand the capabilities of subtractive synthesis synthesizers and the sound design principles of such instruments.

A comprehensive user manual has been created to accompany the learning process to give you a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities of this synthesizer and sound synthesis in general.
