The core building blocks
- Now let's spend a few movies talking about what type of modules you might want to include in your system. In my case, I've put together a six U, or two row, Eurorack system that's 84 HP wide. So, it fits nicely inside a normal 19 inch studio rack. I've included modules from a variety of manufacturers. First, let's talk about the core sound modules you might want to consider having in your system. First are the Tone Generators. The most common ones are Oscillators because they cause vibrations in electricity and, eventually, in the air. They come in both analog and digital formats. And this rack, the Roland five 12, is an analog Oscillator. And the Braids is a digital one. Some digital modules such as the Braids also support alternate synthesis techniques, including physical modelling. Another common Tone Generator is a noise source. It can either be a dedicated module or part of a multi-function module such as the disting in this rack. Next comes, Tone Modifiers. One example would…
