Modular and Eurorack instruments build sound from separate modules connected with patch cables. Oscillators, filters, envelopes, VCAs, sequencers, utilities, effects and interfaces can be combined into a signal path that is not fixed by the manufacturer. Eurorack modules normally use the 3U format and require a compatible powered case, with width, power draw, audio levels, CV ranges and connector placement worth checking before purchase. This category also includes complete modular or semi-modular systems. Read the product details carefully: some modules create sound, while others only route, shape or control it.

Eurorack identifies the modular format using 3U panels, compact patch cables and powered cases. Confirm module width, power draw, signal levels and whether the product needs other modules to make a complete instrument.
