Eurorack

Eurorack modules are an aspect of modular synths. Eurorack synth modules are a popular synthesizer format that allows players to keep their effects in a neat, organized fashion. All Eurorack modules are made to fit in Eurorack cases, so they’re all the same height and depth.

Eurorack modules are essentially the effects that go into a Eurorack case that an artist uses to shape their sound. In any given Eurorack case, you might see a Eurorack mixer, a Eurorack sequencer, digital control modules, and more. Eurorack modules are arranged in a Eurorack console via Eurorack rails. They’re then assigned a signal chain order via Eurorack patch cables, which are also known as CV (control voltage) cables.

Eurorack modular synthesizers are considered expensive by some, but they are absolutely an investment. The cost has many factors, including research and development costs and the fact that they’re relatively low-volume items. Since Eurorack modular synthesizers and Eurorack modules aren’t made en masse, their costs tend to be higher.

A bright side to the higher investment costs of Eurorack modular synthesizers and Eurorack modules is that they tend to retain their value over longer periods of time. That means, though they have a higher upfront cost, you’d likely be able to sell them for close to what you paid for them if you decide it’s not for you or if you’re looking to upgrade or change things up.

While the perfect Eurorack module depends on the sounds you want to get out of it, we recommend the following types of Eurorack modules:

• Oscillator: This is what produces the sound that other modules will manipulate.
• Amplifier: This is how you get audible sound out of your system.
• Envelope generator: This is what creates dynamics. We recommend an attack/decay/sustain/release (ADSR) envelope.
• Filter: This allows you to shape your sound. Common examples include low- and high-pass filters, but the possibilities go much farther than that.
• Low-frequency oscillator: This adds movement to your sound.
