By the way, I know one person with 4 Maths, one person with 5!!


Thanks for the input guys! What do you think would be a better combo of envelopes? I've had some luck with Maths and passive VCAs that I've built, but it does act finicky with the Unity outputs. Trying to find reasonably priced, multi-purpose envelopes is like a needle in a haystack! I know the Doepfer quad envelope is pretty cheap...


The Monthly Starter Rack is designed to be a set of complimentary modules for a small but effective first step into Eurorack, for under $1000. Paired with some sort of expandable power and rack mount (such as the Happy Ending Kit from Tiptop Audio) and multi-purpose keyboard or sequencer (like the KMI QuNexus keyboard or the Korg SQ-1 sequencer), you will be able to play your instrument and have room to grow, as well as sync with other devices, route midi from your computer to your modular, and more.

Each month will feature a unique collection of modules, to serve different musical uses, always below the $1000 threshold. While I have not tested every module myself, the Monthly Starter Rack is meant to provide a reliable starting point from which to expand.

What would you add or remove from the rack? Let me know, and I might include your suggestions next month...!
