Eurorack Modular Synthesiser


As of 2007, I am building up a modular synthesiser based around Eurorack format modules. On this page I will provide some useful facts about the Eurorack format, reviews and audio samples of Eurorack modules along with some DIY ideas that can help cut the cost of setting up a basic system. These include low cost power supplies, cases and cables.

Eurorack Format Facts: 

  1. Eurorack measurements table
  2. Eurorack module manufacturers
  3. Eurorack modules by function
  4. Eurorack modules by size 

Module Reviews: 

  1. Plan B Model 15 VCO.
  2. Plan B Model 24 Heisenberg Generator
  3.  Plan B Model 10 Polyphonic Envelope
  4. Analogue Solutions VCO
  5. Analogue Solutions VCO + Ring Modulator
  6. Analogue Solutions Transistor Ladder Low Pass Filter with builtin VCA
  7. Elby Designs Synthacon Filter
  8. Doepfer A-137-b Logarithmic Mixer
  9. Doepfer A-137-c Polarizing Mixer
  10. Dopefer A-143-3 Quad ADSR Envelope Generator
  11. Doepfer A-     Dual Low Cost VCA
  12. Doepfer A-119 External Input
  13. Doepfer A-188 Bucket Brigade Delay

The DIY part:

  1. Low cost rack mount case option
  2. +/-12v power supply kit
  3. Power distribution boards

  8. Attenuators Box
  9. External sound sources, processors and modulators
  10. Parts Suppliers

Warning: Modular synthesis is known to be linked to ADIDAS syndrome (All Day I Dream About Synths) and in severe cases may result in a total loss of cognitive thought. In order to avoid outbreaks of Synth Pop or New Wave rashes,  please synthesise with care.
