Okay guys…
unfortunately, the DFAM was no longer available. But I managed to get the Mother-32. I thought I’d start with two sound sources for now and shortened it by one row. I think it makes more sense as you guys told me, to start a bit smaller. I’m not sure yet which case or what size it will be.

But I’d be really happy and very grateful if you could take a quick look at the modules-setup to make sure I haven’t made any big mistakes. If the setup makes sense as it is, I’d just dive into the modular world :)


I see what you guys wanna say about behringer and other cheap modules.. i have anohter perspective.
For myself, as a beginner, i like more to buy a behringer module for 80.- instead an original for 300.- for testing out...

to really understand a module, what it does, how it works, and do i need it or not. I think its necessary to buy it and use it and try it... and i dont buy as a beginner a 5000.- rack with original high end modules just for a try if its for me or not...
and behringer modules are also good to resell.

so i think, its the cheapest and best way to learn and try different modules for a low price to find out, what kind of modules do i need and how they work..


Hi all

Thank you a lot for your comments!

there is another thing... i could get a cheap mother32 and DFAM in good conditions from a friend. So, this could change a lot maybe?
is this a good thing in your opinion to integrate it in a first modular rack? the good thing is mother 32 has a sequencer and a midi in i could use for the rack..
i would go then with just the brain with it and the utilities. Or is this a bad idea?

yeah i have pc and could also use for tries VCV... would you remmend the free or the one fpr 149.-


hey guys.. i changed some modules and added also some..
can you maybe tell me if this a more logic case now?
your opinion would help me a lot


hi hi

Okay, great — I’ve put in the Atte instead of the Doepfer.
As for getting a bigger case, I’ll have to think about it — I don’t actually have that much space on my desk.
And since I downsized, I now have over 50HP of free space… I’ll have to see what I’ll do about that.

  1. Then there are two more questions: how I’ve arranged the modules actually makes sense, or if a different arrangement would be better.
  2. i have now 2 outs.. the A138s and a small second one cause i want also headphones out.. is this a good solution or should i change something there?


Hello ferran_RMBL

Thanks a lot for your perspective and opinion as well!
Would you then start with a case the same size as mine (84hp 6U), but with fewer modules?
I’ve changed the VCAs and taken out a few modules.
From your point of view, would that be a more sensible way to start — and then add more modules later?
It would also hurt less financially ;)


Hello farkas

What you’re writing makes absolute sense, and I feel the same way. Modular means growing with the modules, and the knowledge about them grows as well with them. For me, the main concern at the moment is simply not making a big mistake at the beginning—like forgetting something very important or combining modules that make absolutely no sense together.

I’m also not looking for advice on the “best module,” the “best brand,” or the “best workflow”… as you said, that’s very personal and will develop over time. What’s important to me is just not buying something I absolutely shouldn’t have, because it would be musically illogical or wouldn’t work at all.


Hey guys

many thanks to everyone who is helping me out here. For people who are very knowledgeable, it might seem boring, or they might not understand how someone could not know certain things. But for people like me, who are starting almost from scratch, the help is incredibly valuable and really motivating. :)

I’ve made some changes here again… does this make a bit more sense now?


Hi farkas
thanks a lot for your help! That already helped me a lot, and I understand the logic behind it now.
I’ve added a VCA module and made some other changes as well.
Maybe you or someone else has an opinion on that?


Hello everyone,
I’m completely new to Eurorack and wanted to give it a try. I don’t want to invest too much money, and many of you are probably thinking that I should go for more or better modules… but I really want to keep it cheap while still not having to give up too much. I definitely don’t want to spend more than €2000… preferably around €1500.

I mainly need the rack for ambient and dark ambient and will be combining it with a Yamaha Reface CP, which is connected to a Neonegg Planetarium V3.

I’m curious—can this rack setup work as it is, or am I doing a lot wrong here?

I’d like to thank you in advance for constructive help… as a beginner, any real guidance is really appreciated.
Thank you very much.


hi guys

I asked ChatGPT for the best 62hp Ambient combo... Would you agree?


mutable instruments Plaits,,or clone of it,,great multi sound oscillator..

The first module in my rack the Behringer Brains is a clone of Plaits..

My main question is: Does this case make sense? or is it a nonsense case? I am very unsure whether the modules fit together well and make sense


Hi Guys

Im new in modular and even didnt start..
Im watching YT and try to deal with it, but its very hard to understand everything. So i wanna give a chance to modular to learning by doing.. i want a small case to start and i need some help go get the best for the bucks.

i wanna use it for ambient music and for learning and exploring.. (no techno machine or something)

i would be very happy if some guys can help me with some good decisions

all the best
