In this video, I build a DIY Eurorack case and take my first synth module (Plaits) for a spin.

I got goosebumps when the song suddenly blossomed into a fleshed-out outro for the video. Very nice.

What I like most of all in your videos is the lack of "Flash" or "How not to suck at making videos in YT". I see too many YT that look like the next YT you click on. You keep it simple, to the point and informative. Thanks!

Important note: most eurorack oscillators will output +/-10Vpp (volts peak to peak), which will MESS UP something expecting a normal line out (1Vpp). This is one of the things a VCA does, so it is SUPER IMPORTANT that you only connect interfaces/amps/what-have-you to line-level outputs, which the Plaits has.

Man, as a composer myself, I absolutely love your videos! So grounded and honest. I love that you just with one module, very relatable! 😅 I really like your approach

I've been wanting to get into modular for a while and was always turned off by the cost that most other people in the scene say you should put up to "start" (sorry $800 isn't a great place to start and learn) this demystified it instantly and brought me to when I tinkered with a 70s-80s electric organ in my parents garage to make it work and make fun sounds thank you for bringing it to earth you lit more excitement in me than a million videos showing $2000 modular setups

But... this is BY FAR the absolute best video on this subject. In fact... every video on this channel feels like a, "Bible on [INSERT SUBJECT]."

Nice to hear in the last seconds of the video how that basic 1st recording got transformed into a wider arrangement!

Have watched a lot of videos on beginner modular. Ordered a Behringer System 55 and was expectantly waiting for it to arrive. Watched even more videos so when it finally came, i could dive right in. It came! ...then i realized no one ever talked about getting sound out of it! Everyone just says "I hooked it up to such and such". So here i am with a System 55 and no idea how to HEAR it. Now, after several days of research, i am waiting until next week for the correct cables to come 😐

Thanks for this series of videos David. I'm just starting to dabble in modular, and your videos were one of the reasons I decided to do so.

The handle on the box is just too awesome 👏

This can’t be coincidence. Here I am, just planning out a couple of modules on modular grid, thinking about going modular and wondering if I really need to spend ~200 on a case. I open YouTube and this pops up - guess this settles it 🤖.

Great little intro, welcome to the modular world! The Microfreak inspired me to purchase Plaits as my first module as well. Just on envelopes, Plaits has a built in simulated LPG (low pass gate), you can adjust the decay and attack times for it and if even you don’t have external modulation you can use the attenuvertors to apply the envelope to different parameters. It really is a workhorse module!

Catch fire? No way! If it's hot enough to start a fire then it's way too hot to touch. Besides, your power supply can only deliver 30W total.

I think the real reason not to use wood rails is that the holes will wear out. Also not a problem for you.

Dude, you inspired me to do something similar with a wooden wine box, thanks.

Fascinated yet lost at the same time. I have no idea of what euroracks are but I am intrigued…. This reminds me of the days of tinkering with random electronics and damn near burning down the house. Got my coffee and ready to watch the entire vid. After learning bout synthesis, etc, I think it’s time to get creative. thanks for sharing

This is by far my all time favorite channel on YouTube. You’re a wizard dude, truly

Amazing upload. Can't wait to see the next step. Great little music you produced at the end.

I've been wanting to build a modular system for awhile but I found the whole process confusing, This has sparked my interest again. I might attempt to build a case at some point.
