Brand
Error Instruments is a boutique synth manufacturer from the Netherlands, known for raw, experimental designs that sit comfortably at the noisier, stranger edges of modular synthesis. Rather than aiming for polite or conventional sounds, the brand embraces instability, texture, and unpredictability — making its modules favourites among noise artists and adventurous sound designers.
The range often blends synthesis with physical interaction, feedback paths, and unconventional control methods, encouraging hands-on exploration and happy accidents. Build quality is solid, aesthetics are distinctive, and the results are rarely subtle. If you’re looking to break out of clean, predictable modular territory, Error Instruments offers tools that reward curiosity, chaos, and creative risk-taking.

Modular is a synthesis format made up of separate, interchangeable modules that are patched together to create custom signal paths. It allows complete freedom over sound design, sequencing, and modulation, with each system built to suit the user’s workflow and creative approach.
New Gear is unused and in original condition, supplied as it leaves the manufacturer. It is chosen for guaranteed reliability, full functionality, and the assurance of manufacturer support. For example, buying new ensures access to the latest design revisions, included accessories, and official warranty coverage.
A synthesizer is an electronic instrument that generates and shapes sound using oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation sources. It allows sounds to be created from scratch, altered in real time, and controlled through keys, sequencers, or external controllers. Synthesizers are used to produce everything from basses and leads to pads, textures, and experimental sound design in both studio production and live performance.
