Eurorack is expensive, especially when starting out. In this video I share my thoughts on building a small modular system, both when it comes to price point, as well as practical tips. I do all this by using my personal favorite compact system and sharing examples with those. Please note this is not a ‘starter’, or ‘entry’ system! Although modular is always easy to expand, the thoughts and system focus more on building a small and functional instrument that feels complete :)
