If you're thinking about going modular but don't know where to start, here's some advice! Idk if this is gonna be at all helpful, but if my personal experience is helpful to at least one person it'll have been worth typing. FYI: I'm not an expert, but I am quite familiar with this stuff, and I had to do it on the cheap, so if you're in a similar boat, maybe this can help There's a really bad catch-22 here: You absolutely need a plan for your modular before you start building it, or you'll waste a lot of time and money before you find a system that's right for you. But you can't possibly make a plan until you've spent kind of a long time using a modular synth and getting to know them. Unless you're fortunate enough to have a friend who already has a modular you can try out, here's how I would approach this dilemma: I started by splurging a little on my first oscillator, and then buying a few other much cheaper modules to make a functional system. I spent a few months getting used to this system and learning what I liked and what I didn't. With that experience I was able to make a plan for my system and start slowly replacing the cheap modules I didn't like as much with the bigger, cooler ones I was excited about. Here's what I'd advise starting with if you want to approach it this way: 1. Find an oscillator / sound source module that you think sounds fuckin rad. This is the only module you need to splurge on at this point. If you don't love the way your oscillator sounds, you'll have no fun at all. I started with Plaits by Mutable Instruments, and it's still in my case today The rest of the modules you get at this stage can be cheap and simple. You just need enough modules to have usable system, and you can replace them with modules you love later. (unless you can afford to swallow the whole cost at once) You can resell them on reverb.com if you don't end up keeping them. If you buy them on reverb in the first place, you can even get all your money back. You'll need..... 2. At least one or two cv sources. You just need enough cv generation to get your system up and running. Consider which cv inputs on your oscillator you're most eager to plug into, and how you'd want to control them. Common types include LFOs, Envelopes, random sources, and sequencers. Consider if you want your cv to be fast, slow, predictable, random, simple, complex, etc. 3. VCAs. You'll need at least one of these to control the volume of your oscillator (unless that oscillator has some kind of built in volume control). You may also want multiple VCAs so you can control the amplitude of your cv with other cv. There are a lot of modules which have multiple VCAs all in one, and they're usually cheaper and more space efficient than buying multiple individual modules. 4. Audio Output. Eurorack runs incredible hot so that audio and cv signals occupy the same voltage range, and are thus interchangeable. But this means you need some way to reduce your volume down to line level before you send it out to your speakers/mixer/audio interface/headphones/etc. Some more expensive cases have audio outputs built in, but your starting case probably won't. In that case, you need an attenuator to lower the signal. There are also dedicated audio i/o modules, but you don't need to worry about those yet. Remember that this attenuator output will be 1/8" mono, so you'll need a 1/8" to 1/4" cable to record your stuff, and a mono to stereo adapter if you want to use headphones. You now have a funtional system for as cheap as possible (minus the oscillator), which is unfortunately still kinda expensive. But once you're familiar with this system you'll be able to think about all your possibilities more concretely, and once you have a real sense for it you can start expanding / replacing modules. Some final tips: 1. Before you buy a single module, make sure everything you've got your eyes on will work together. Some modules need certain inputs to operate at all -- for example, envelopes and sequencers will probably require a trigger or gate signal from somewhere. If you don't want to get into triggers and gates yet, find envelopes with a built in trigger button, and sequencers with a built in clock. Imagine precisely how you might patch your system, and make sure it all fits together. If you're not sure about it, take your plans in to a synth shop, or ask somebody who's modular-literate, and they can tell you if your system plan is functional. 2. AVOID MUFFWIGGLER AND GEARSLUTZ AT ALL COSTS. If you've never heard of those, they're the two most prominent modular forums online, and yes, those are their real names. They're also terrible. People on there will tell you that they know exactly what's best for you, and they will curse you out if you disagree. They also tend to only value the opinions of old white dudes. Sometimes they're useful for specific info, and obviously not everyone on there is shitty, but when you're just starting out, they'll probably just lead you astray. 3. You DO NOT need a Maths. Maths by Make Noise is the most popular eurorack module of all time, and it is genuinely incredible. But many, many people will tell you that every eurorack system literally needs to have a Maths in it, and that's just not true. It's pretty expensive, and for a lot of systems it's not worth it. The Maths cult is irrational. But if you can afford it and want it, it's a great module. Certainly look into it, but think for yourself. 4. Precise pitch is not a given. Most cv sources don't produce precise musical pitches. That might not be important to you at this stage, but if it is, look into pitch sequencers and quantizers. Precise rhythm is also not a given, and for that you'll need a trigger sequencer. 5. If you have midi controllers, look into midi to cv modules. They're a great way of getting control over your modular with gear you already have and using it like any other synth in your setup. They also provide triggers/gates and precise musical pitches. And finally, there's really no right way to approach this at all. I find this to be the most beginner-friendly way of approaching modular, but something else might work way better for you. Good luck and have fun!

Co-sign on final tip #5 . I was 2 years in before I invested into a polyend poly and it should have been one of my first. Allows me to sequence and save up to 8 tracks of pitch, gate, velocity, modulation through my mpc. It also provides a few neat clocking tricks to sequence modules with clock in from the MPC sequencer clock.

if you are planning on building up on the 0-coast and the pico there is one very good thing: you dont have to buy all the (cheap) basic modules noah is talking about because you already got them all. with the two semi modulars you got an output, enough vcas, envelopes, mixers, cv sources etc. you can just get a fun oscillator you like and start exploring. keep it slow, every new module is like multiplying the possible patches you can make, so there is very much to explore. play around until you get an idea of what you are missing. i dont think there is any need to plan to far ahead in the beginning, but imho keeping it slow and exploring a lot is crucial.

I'm finally building my first eurorack setup specifically because I found that every time I'd sit down to make music, I'd end up feeling like crap, because I wouldn't finish a composition, I wasn't making "songs," or I'd get endlessly wrapped up in the minutia of one measure instead of actually working through an entire composition, etc... but when I'm not worrying about that and just playing with synths, I just... enjoy myself. Without worrying about... writing some song that will change the world. Just... the joy of making music and improvisation. I decided that trying to be a 'composer' was just making me miserable, and what I was missing in my life was just simple, selfish joys. Living in the moment. Making weird sounds. Plus, frankly, modular synths are beautiful objects and having one around makes me feel good, like a painting on your wall that you really enjoy. Screw expectations. Make joy instead. It's really delightful to see composers that I really admire (that's you, btw) find that joy, also!

Jesus dude, this sums up my expectations, experience and next steps to a T. I quit literally for years till I came back with the realization that I wasn’t going to be an artist and not going to write songs worth beans. I make bars with my modular, record them, and usually they don’t even play well together. And sometimes when I make the right sounds I get so content, I fall asleep. Happily. I don’t finish manuals on things like Maths. I don’t even understand it all. Free of the expectations and understanding my “limitations” I’m free to just look at them in my room and appreciate my hobby.

Welcome to the rabbit hole. Edit: Great vid, and good points on modular mindset. Last night I went to town on modulating my 0-Coast as much as possible, and in the middle I realized I was getting literally "bleep bloop" sounds, I mean, cliche AF. And it was glorious. Probably nothing anyone else would care to hear, but that doesn't matter at all.

And even when the sound is unpleasant, I'm having fun tinkering, modifying, improving, experimenting, pretending to be a switchboard operator. Thanks to you (and Loopop and Omri) for showcasing these instruments and VCV Rack.

I wish this video (and also the keystep pro) existed when I first got into modular - it's one of the best modular videos I've seen, both from an instructional perspective as well as a musical perspective. The 0-coast is a lovely synth - It is the only instrument that I have ever sold and then re-purchased later - I sold it when I thought I knew a ton and that it was too limited for me. I bought it back when I realized I was wrong about everything, and started learning just how much I could get out of smaller systems.

6:25 Cool trivia for Eurorack enthusiasts like you and I Jeremy, The way the envelopes behave in the 0-Coast with regards to exponential envelopes getting shorter in length *as well* as more exponential (rather than just more exponential but at the same length of time) is a result of it being completely analog. It's harder to make a circuit that doesn't behave like that, usually manufacturers that seek to stop that from happening move to digital envelope generators with a DAC :)

I think people have their notion of modular just being a weird scape of atonal bleeps and off-time imaginary percussion because it is majorly supported by people that are not necessarily musicians but rather electronic/math enthusiasts that are more interested in the physics of having this big shelf of modules that are using their own functions to define themselves. That's cool for those enthusiasts and I'm glad they have their hobby, but I think the little niche of people trying to write something more like conventional music will continue to grow as performance-oriented modules continue to advance. NAMM every year makes me more excited than the last.

most of the time i skip your videos, mostly because ive got more interesting things to watch/do and im far from making music myself, but on the small chance I actually watch one, im always captivated and have to watch it to the end. I guess, maybe i should get into some of this stuff in the future. Anyhow thanks for the gr8 videos from 4 years ago (when i saw you for the first time) to now and keep at it.

loved this video, I've been GASin hard for the new Subharmonicon, but this made me realize that for my actual needs in modular I'd be better off with the new Pico system. I also have a 0-coast, and wow! They really are a fantastic pair...

Thank you for this in depth approach for dummies like me who’ve begun the deep dive into modular synthesis. Now if only I could get my wife interested I would only need half as many modules lol

Ah I love this video! This setup is amazing and the keystep pro seems powerful enough to control even my fridge. Btw I still don't understand why even a small loop of yours sounds incredibly chill and catchy while I get bored of the ones I make and throw them away soon after.

This is just as much a beautiful advocation for control voltage to traditional keyboardists as it is a demonstration of how melodic patches can be when you've got access to a powerful piano-like controller with sequencing capabilities. This experience you were feeling was exactly how I felt when I started playing the Buchla Music Easel, and the results sounded pretty similar too. Great familiar keyboard control paired with unfamiliar synthesis is a great match.

i'm really excited to watch your journey into modular, Jeremy. I'm starting to rebuild my new rack from scratch and this time i decided to go 100% DIY start to finish. (no kits or anything)

@@RedMeansRecording I've been learning and designing my own modules since a year ago or so, it's nothing crazy wild i'm still learning a lot. it's a lot of work. but i'm enjoying the process. i would like to eventually start my own module company but for now i'm still in the learning, prototyping phase. i posted recently an image of some of my modules: instagram.com/p/B_6G0WqHutF/?

so i have no idea but the intro got me really emotional??? i think it's the combination of the specific tone of voice you were using and the music but it really hit me in the feels somehow
