DIY Eurorack: Progress (So Far)
Here’s the current progress of my DIY Eurorack modular synthesizer. I’ll update this post everytime I add a module or significant change.

When organizing my box of components, I found a handful of ~75mm faders. Faders are variable resistors similar to potentiometers, but instead of turning a kn...
While playing around with my new LFO module, I started learning about the concept of attenuation. Depending on the specs of your modules, it is sometimes nec...
“What’s the point of modular synthesis if you’re not modulating something?”
After finishing my osciliator, the next logical step was a voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA), to control the amplitude of my oscilator (via voltage of cours...
The next stop of my DIY Eurorack journey was a VCO. A VCO isn’t required for a modular setup (in fact, nothing is required, that’s kinda the whole point), bu...
Before building more modules, I needed to build a power bus so that my power supply could power multiple modules simultaneously.
Power supply? Check. Case? Check. It was time to build a real Eurorack module.
In my previous post I built a power supply for my DIY eurorack synthesizer. Now that I can power my modules, I just need a place to house them.
Building a PSU seemed to be a logical place to begin my DIY Eurorack journey. I wouldn’t get very far with prototyping modules without the +12V/-12V/+5V powe...
