Overview

This section covers the parts of Patcher you will actually use regularly.

If the docs homepage explains what Patcher is, these pages show how it works in practice.

The shortest version

Patcher works best when you move through it in this order:

1. browse modules

2. build your collection

3. plan racks

4. capture patches

5. share selected work when it is ready

That is the simplest way to build a workspace worth returning to.

The main pages

• Modules

• Collection

• User Area

• Search and Discovery

• Racks

• Patches

• Manuals

• Public Profiles

• Account and Privacy

• Contributing module data

Where to start

• If you are new, begin with Quick start.

• If you already know the product, jump straight to User Area or Modules.

Reference

If you hit a term you do not recognize, the Modular Glossary explains the words used across these pages — collection, module, panel variant, patch, public profile, rack, recall, and user area — in one page.
