The Eurorack Modular Synthesizer format

Posted by Jesper Ranum on 01/07/1995

Eurorack is a specification for modular synthesizers, invented by Dieter Doepfer in 1995. Using the classic synthesizer CV/Gate interconnections Doepfer created a string of modules for his system, and other manufacturers eventually followed.

From 2010 and onwards the format has grown dramatically, with many smaller boutique manufacturers making specialised modules – all following the same standard.

Besides Doepfer, some of the more well-known manufacturers are:

MakeNoise
Intellijel
Mutable Instruments
4ms
Roland
TipTop
Cvejman
Qu-Bit
Endorphin.es
WMD
Jomox
AJH Synth
Dave Smith
Dave Rossum
Flame
and countless others

Ranum Studio Copenhagen has a large Eurorack modular synthesizer, which you can check here.
