I had to sell my Eurorack Modular Synth...Life comes at you fast and hard, and sometimes you have to make a tough call. I'm finding myself at a spot in life where I don't want to do a lot of things, one of which is selling my modular, but here we are......stuck between a rock and a hard place...hopefully things won't stay like this for long....thanks for watching
Edit: I’m also aware that on many levels this is very much a first world problem. The things going on in my life make this feel significant, but I’m aware that others are struggling as well and in many cases much worse. This is just my experience.

What is Eurorack Modular Synthesis?
Eurorack modular synthesizers are modular synthesizer systems built to the Eurorack standard, allowing for the interchangeability of modules from various manufacturers. Each module serves a specific function, such as generating sound (oscillators), shaping sound (filters and envelopes), or manipulating sound (effects and sequencers). The real magic of Eurorack lies in the flexibility and customization it offers. With a vast array of modules available, users can build unique setups tailored to their preferences and creative visions.
Why Choose Eurorack?
The allure of Eurorack modular synthesizers lies in their unparalleled flexibility and sonic potential. Unlike traditional synthesizers with fixed signal paths, Eurorack systems empower users to design their own signal flow, allowing for infinite sonic experimentation. Whether you're crafting lush ambient textures, pounding techno rhythms, or otherworldly soundscapes, Eurorack provides the tools to bring your sonic visions to life.

Building Your Modular System
Building a Eurorack system is akin to assembling a puzzle, with each module serving as a unique piece that contributes to the overall sonic tapestry. Beginners may opt for pre-configured starter systems to ease into modular synthesis, while more experienced users may prefer hand-selecting modules to tailor their setup precisely.
Key Modules to Consider:
Oscillators: These generate the fundamental sound waveforms and are the building blocks of your sounds.
Filters: Essential for sculpting the timbre and character of your sound by removing or emphasizing specific frequencies.
Envelopes: Shape the amplitude and dynamics of your sounds over time, crucial for creating evolving textures and rhythmic patterns.
Effects: From delays and reverbs to distortion and modulation, effects modules add depth, movement, and character to your sounds.
Sequencers: Drive the rhythmic and melodic elements of your compositions, allowing for precise control and automation.

Tips for Eurorack Beginners
For newcomers to Eurorack modular synthesis, diving in can feel daunting. However, with the right approach, the learning curve can be rewarding and enjoyable.
Start Small: Begin with a few essential modules to grasp the fundamentals of modular synthesis before expanding your setup.
Experiment Freely: Embrace experimentation and exploration, as there are no rules in Eurorack. Trust your ears and follow your intuition.
Learn Modular Patching: Understand the basics of patching cables to connect modules and create unique signal paths. Experimentation is key to discovering new sounds.
Seek Community and Resources: Join online forums, attend workshops, and watch tutorials to learn from the vast Eurorack community and expand your knowledge.

The Future of Eurorack
As technology advances and the Eurorack community continues to grow, the future of modular synthesis looks promising. Manufacturers are constantly innovating, releasing new modules that push the boundaries of sound design and performance. With the rise of digital modules and integration with computer software, Eurorack systems offer even greater versatility and sonic potential.
The outpouring of support that you guys have shown me from this video is really special and humbling. Thank you all so much! You have no idea how hard I was going through some emotions when I made this video, more so around my personal life, and less so about the gear...maybe most of you could sense it wasn't entirely about the gear... And your support really got me through some very difficult days. Hearing about your stories really helped, so thank you all again so much.
Hey it's wild I just found you and I'm just now trying to do the channel thing for the same reasons. I also had to scale down and I'm finding that a limited palette is a good thing. Happy to sub I'm trying to help folks who are doing this get up and running cause everyone's up to something. Cheers!
Thank you so much! Agreed the limitations are actually kind of inspiring!
A lot of respect and support to you, don’t stress yourself, wish you the best of luck
Thank you 🙏 I’m trying to take things as they come as positively as possible, the support means a lot 🙂
Subbed! Regardless of eurorack or not, we’re all threaded together in this community. Sorry to hear about the list of challenges and really happy you’re alright. Wise moves and I hope it brings about a lot more ease in future. Happy patching!
Thank you for this thoughtful comment, the modular community has been so kind to me and I’m incredibly grateful, looking forward to hopefully lots more patching 🙏
@@DomiFotaro so good to hear! I hope so too! Let me know if you post a vid of that patch you have going on and I’ll definitely take a look. I’m always curious what people are patching up!
I sold 10k of euro … best thing I ever did … was just feeding an addiction just to hear repetitive bleeps and bloops … fkn awful bought old 80s samplers instead so much for freedom and enjoyment
Yeah I def think that my system was to big beyond everything else happening, I found my better patches were with more limitations. I can agree it becomes an addiction.
Haha I was just thinking the same thing. I sold about $30k worth of eurorack gear this past summer. It was a huge waste of time and productivity for me. I replaced it with a prophet-5, ob-6, pro-3, 3rd wave, Juno-x, moog one, among other things. Then I started making music again
Sorry to hear. External situations forcing a downsize is rough. I hope you're doing okay and able to stay in good spirits and enjoy making music with what you have left
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏 I’m trying to keep my chin up, this helps, thank you 🙂
Being forced to sell gear you really like and use is a pain. Had to sell some gear when I was still studying and it really pains me to think about the gear that since has gone up in price so much that I will probably just never replace it... on the other hand... It was a luxury to be able to just sell some gear to stay afloat and soften the rough patch... so keep it up.... sub.
Thank you so much, yeah that feeling of not having control and then the resulting loss just makes things harder. Especially when the bigger situation you’re in already involves so much loss. But it’s true that even being able to have this kind of gear makes us very fortunate. Thank you for your thoughtful comment, I appreciate it🖤🙏
relatable. I consider selling all modules from time to time, and that would've been very reasonable in the context of my life, but every now and then it just clicks, and I discover a new angle or technique, and that makes me happy so I keep holding on to it.
Totally! Revisiting them you can always find something new! It might the my favorite part about eurorack. Thank you for commenting!
Sending positive vibes. Life gets hard sometimes and all you can do is try and move forward. Your artistry is more than your equipment and nothing is more important than your health.
Thank you for this kind comment! I appreciate this 🙏
Hi, life does sometimes get in the way. good luck, keep jamming. Subbed. Yeah this synth community is great.
Thank you so much 🙏 the best community!
Just found your channel, and sorry to hear about your financial travails! Hang in there, and glad you've been able to keep some great modules so far.
Thank you so much, I’m hanging in there one day at a time, that’s all we can do right? I really appreciate the comment 🙏
Having a modular re-think myself. Getting rid of all the modules I just don't get on with and maybe boight because I was WOWED with demos. Beads was first out. Great module? In the right hands. Didn't work for me at all. Pissing in the wind with that one. Also getting rid of modules that have menus, bottom combos, limitations in terms of control. Just taking a BIG step back and keeping my feet on the ground. Have a Kilpatrick Phenol as well. Love it, but thinking it will have to go in the name of reduction. Keeping things to my Mantis case, removing the Phenol and adding a Happy Ending in my half empty rack with more focus on what I'm doing. Amen. Good luck and well wishes with your own journey.
Thank you for the thoughtful comment, I def am seeing benefits to the limitations. I miss my old sequencer row. It was nice having options, if I had to repurchase I’d prob get metropolix again.
I scratch that itch pretty cheaply with software modular - it’s super powerful!
I have played with vcv rack and it is indeed powerful and fun! Thank you stopping by 🙏
Thanks for your content. I'm a bassist and guitarist and I'm just started out with eurorack. It's cool that you're so open about you're love for eurorack but that you are struggeling how to sell them. I would love to hear your vision on your eurorack, getting a smaller case or any other related video. It would be nice to see patch video's. Just share your ideas! There are always people that are new to this world like me and want to see eurorack video's. I'm interested in ALM Pam's new workout and MI beads and that is how I came across your chanel. Hope to see more.. Cheers!
Dude thank you so much for this thoughtful comment, I have actually been in a period of rebuilding my system and am planning on making an update to this one. I have a lot of video ideas but juggling work and a family pulls you in a lot of directions….I’m actually playing my first club show later this week and will be making content around that too. I actually did a collab recently where I talk about my first synth over at @mwmusic29 channel. Thank you so much for the sub! And enjoy the modularity journey friend! 🙏🙂
I know your pain mate, about a decade or so ago I had to sell all of my home studio and dj equipment, amazing mics, focusrite saffire pro 26 sound card, my monitors, pair of CDJ 1000s, Allen & Heath mixer and so much more. Other half and I had both lost jobs due to health problems and it was a hell of a rough patch. Won't lie it still hurts when I think back to the setup I had, but I also recognise it kept a roof over our heads and our health recovered and we've been slowly getting back on our feet. Have recently started making music again, simple setup of computer & ableton, but the desire to make music has been coming back. Hope you manage to get through your rough patch as best as possible, take care.
Thank you much for sharing, that sounds really hard and I’m glad you guys are getting back to normal 🙏 I’m sending positive vibes your way as well, take care friend!
you both are powerful people steering your way through the waves!
It really stinks when life forces you to part with gear. I've been through it too and it's never fun! Hang in there!! Looking forward to checking out your content...
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! 🙂
It will come back around.
In the mean time, VCV Rack is a great substitute.
In 2011, I liquidated my studio to just travel essentials after doing an album. I repurchased key pieces in 2017, and have been strategically adding since. My eurorack started as matriarch, then Sound Studio, and now I watch channels like yours to learn which module would work for my creative needs.
Make a song about it 😅
Thank you for sharing, hearing stories like that is very helpful! I really appreciate it! I have a patch that I plan to record this week! Stay tuned! 🖤🙏
I just found your channel two days ago and subscribed then, from watching you tyso daiko video where you were also using the instru eas, and now today today you post this 😢 Wishing you well, and indeed this is a really wonderful community of people, great that you're a part of it!
Thanks man, I still plan to keep things musical here so hopefully everyone follows the journey, the reason I let Eas go is because I can do some logic sequencing with Pam’s, so there is still a lot of opportunity for random goodness. I love tyso glad I pulled it!
Just stumbled on your channel at what looks like a very rough time for you. I hope things turn the corner for you soon, and in the mean time maybe constraint will lead to inspiration?
Thanks so much 🙏yes I’m thinking the same about the limitations!
Rooting for you!
Thank you so much!
I sold my eurorack. Made enough from the sales to buy a good MacBook Pro, a good controller and VCV Rack Pro, AS WELL AS make a down payment on a house. Don't regret it
It’s amazing how it adds up, death by 1000 cuts. The situation that caused me to sell is really the painful part and letting go of gear is a little bit of insult to injury. Ultimately letting this stuff go is for the best in this situation. Thank you for sharing, it does help! 🙏
@@DomiFotaro Look, RUclips just showed this video to me... ( I don't know you ) I feel you, and yes, is hard to let go of things... but even when you feel that you are losing things... you, just need to adapt to what you have... you are not losing your music talent... like everything, tools... you get them you lose them, but your creativity is not... keep up the good work. Adapt with you will keep and keep going!!
Good vibes your way ❤
Thank you so much 🙂🙏🖤
Sold my eurorack and planning to get a Montage M. Want a palette of sounds, not just one specific bleep
I’m a huge fan of modules that are multitaskers, but I hear what you mean! If things normalize at any point I would love to get something like Hydrasynth, thank you for stopping by! 🙂
Take care of yourself my friend
Thank you Im trying 🙏
🖤✊
✊Thank you!
🫂
🖤thank you 🙏
Robb!! Sendin vibes man. Glad you got to keep half your rig. Lookin forward to those jams. The Moogs…I know how you feel. There’s an authenticity to the Moog semi-Modulars that runs deep.
Jon thank you so much for all of your support! I’m looking forward to putting out more jams too! The moogs def connect with me in a different way, I’d imagine you feel similar about the make noise semi-modular, you have a great connection with to those!
🖤🙏
