That modular setup you have is around $800 definitely not under 500

[meneerjansen]

You're the first person to encourage buying a modular setup for external input as an effects unit. That's exactly what I'm thinking of buying.

lol "budget eurorack modular system"

This guy is the Bob Ross of modular synthesis

"A little bit of space to expand, should you feel the need..."

Trust me, you'll feel it.

Great video. It's nice to see someone break down what you need to get started and explains how and why. Also a plus that it is explained at a beginners pace. These videos are COMPLETELY AWESOME!!! Please keep making more videos with everything thing being used to create is in the picture...too many videos just show a module and it's misleading for people just getting their feet wet thinking that the module is creating EVERYTHING. It would be great to see more on systems without a keyboard, daws or midi controllers. Just a SELF CONTAINED FORCE TO BE RECOND WITH !!!

Maaann, I am very tired of reading, "out of stock. Pre-order now! Back order."

[Toasterskirt]

These videos are getting better and better! I wish I had this before I started with modular, I made soo many mistakes haha

[PSILOCYBINISTHEWAY]

We got Big eurorack trying to sell me on eurorack. I see whats going on here

[JoshIsMakingMusic]

Very cruel of you to publish this video right before I'm getting my holiday bonus.

You could also just get an excellent Yamaha Keyboard for under 600 with multitimbral split, just plug it in and you're off. Go really all out, pick up a microphone, drum machine/synth (Volca), and a tascam 4-track, still well under 2K. Then you could just take some lessons from the neighborhood piano teacher. In about a year or three of daily practice, you will be an actual musician. Sorry, not trying to be a d*ck, I saved my bank account, credit rating and my marriage by not going down the modular rabbit hole.

[MrGnezkewl]

Yes!! Finally!! I think I’ll get into modular now

[s.fleming]

ok.. budget modular... April fools day is a long time from now...but right after I find a cheap jupiter 8, I will start a budget modular synth

[neuzethmusic]

Good beginner video! Haha but I've got the Doepfer SEM VCF, and to be honest, it has NO character at all. Think I'm gonna get rid it soon. Doepfer is good for utility modules and that, but not for filters or VCOS. When on a budget, get some of the Dreadbox modules, they sound better.

[lindyxyo]

This dudes vibe is immaculate.
Give this man a raise.

[richardsaffle]

Thank you for this. I’m a noob into synths, & modular is still a little over my head, & outta my budget. But this explains a lot, & I appreciate it.

[someonewhobitthedust]

So, if I'm understanding correctly, since I've spent money on other synths and music making machines, they can more or less connect and be altered with/from the modules? I can't wait to have no more money.

[Sound_ology]

Such cool demo patches and playing!! Niceee

[hlgglh]

Does the Club Mate have any effect on the eurorack?

[EleniEliades_]

Whimsical yet, intellectually educational.👄🎵💥👌
