Brand
4ms is a US modular synth manufacturer best known for pushing the boundaries of timing, control, and system-scale thinking in Eurorack. The brand grew out of a fascination with clocks, rhythms, and synchronisation, and that DNA still runs through everything they make — from precision clocking and sequencing to complex modulation and power distribution.
What sets 4ms apart is how their modules often feel like infrastructure as much as instruments. Many designs are expandable, configurable, and built to grow with your system, making them favourites in large, experimental, or performance-focused racks. Whether you’re exploring generative music, polyrhythms, or building a deeply interconnected modular setup, 4ms gear is known for its originality, robustness, and unapologetically modular mindset.

Synths are electronic instruments designed for creating and shaping sound, from classic analogue-style tones to modern digital textures. Used for basslines, leads, pads and experimental sound design, they play a central role in many styles of music. If you enjoy hands-on creativity and exploring new sonic ideas, synths offer a powerful and expressive way to make music.

A module is a self-contained unit designed to perform a specific function within a larger system. Modules are commonly used in modular and Eurorack setups, where each unit handles tasks such as sound generation, modulation, filtering, or control, allowing systems to be built and expanded piece by piece.
A synth is an electronic instrument that creates sound through electronic signal generation and shaping. It is used to produce basses, leads, pads, textures, and effects by controlling oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation. Synths are central to electronic music and modern production, offering flexible sound design for both studio work and live performance.
A synthesiser is an electronic instrument used to generate and shape sound using oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation. It is used to create basses, leads, pads, and evolving textures for music production and performance. For example, a synthesiser might be used to design a pulsing bass line that drives a track or a layered pad sound that adds depth and movement to a composition.
Synth for Sale has over 1000 used synths and gear like that for sale. We bring these products to you via our trusted partners, retailers and direct with independent sellers in the UK.
Wavetable is a method of sound generation that uses a collection of digital waveforms stored in tables. It is used to create evolving and complex tones by smoothly scanning or switching between different wave shapes. For example, wavetable synthesis can be used to produce moving pads, shifting basses, or textured leads that change character over time.
