My DIY Eurorack Modular Synth
Vložit

- Join me on my journey of soldering together a DIY Eurorack modular synth. I wanted to build a synthesizer for a very long time and I've finally reached my goal! I've now built two rows of Eurorack modules, through-hole, SMD, and even modules where I designed my own PCBs! In this video I tell you how I went about learning enough electronics to build something as cool as that!
In case you're wondering where I've been: We moved house and it took forever to set up my new studio. This video was still filmed in the old studio, so for me it's a little bit of a blast from the past. There is lots of new stuff in the works and soon I'll show you the new space!

If you're building surface mounts you're a better builder than I'll ever be
This world needs more people like you ❤❤
definitly !
Hi Lilly I I haven't seen you since you molded your bullet mustang. You give me life on diving in too accomplish what you start out.
Hah, I always try to finish what I started. Even if it’s something as massive as that!
I love this so much. I’ve built over 150 different eurorack modules now, mostly from PCBs people designed and I get my own parts. I also have about 6 of my own designs as well. It becomes addicting once you really get into it and I love my modular system so much, it’s like an audio playground with unlimited potential.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 150, wow, that’s quite a lot. I think I built around 30 now, I’d have to count, 2 of my own. I’m gonna slow down now and make music with it for a while, play a little on the modular playground 😀 what kind of modules did you design for your system?
This is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story. I look forward to your future instalments.
Thank you Chris, I’m glad you enjoyed it 😀
This is so motivating I loved every second of this. I appreciate people like you who make videos explaining their journey, quite inspiring.
My dreams is to get into synth but coming from electronics and i don't even know what a rack unit is. This was good to give me perspective on what's ahead, lol
Rack units come out of equipment racks that are standard sizes, like server racks etc. 19” racks are the usual size and they are supposed to be a specific height so that they fit into the mounting brackets perfectly. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/19-inch_rack you’ll find rackable synths and effects processors, that are 1 unit high (1U) and Eurorack is 3U high, but it doesn’t necessarily stick to the 19” rack size depending on the size of your case.
Synths are great things to build, so much fun! 😀 you’ll get there, I’m sure!
I don't know how you did it, but you have just inspired me to start over my mechanical engineering studies that I gave up 20 years ago! I guess it is your passion, the one I've lost somewhere on the way...Thank you for that!
hey good luck with that!
the Khan academy app is great for any maths or physics stuff.. from the ground up
Every now and then the algorithm shows a video that I 'll manage to watch it thru the end and I won't regret spending half an hour watching it afterward. Not very often thought.
Congrats for everything you have succeeded.
Thanks Mike, well done for making it to the end! 🙏
That feeling of your first working pcb you designed, then realising you can make anything now ❤
Oh yeah, that’s the best part 😀
I was designing PCBs as a kid in the 80s (like actually drawing the PCB by hand on the copper using an etch-resistant pen and then etching the PCB in acid, drilling the component holes and soldering them. My parents worked at GEC so could bring home stuff that they throw out like an old soldering iron, various components, etc). I also got into electronic music (well, it was the 80s ;-) and synths but my family could never afford the Roland Juno or Alpha Junos that I really craved. Like you, I turned to books and found 'Electronic Synthesiser Construction' by R. A. Penfold - in fact he had a whole series of books that cover synths and related topics like MIDI, and I still have those books. I started working on a simple synth PCB but never finished it. I went away to college to study computers and kinda forgot about synths. Fast forward 20+ years, I'm now living and working as a software engineer in NYC and right before the pandemic came across the Microfreak. I bought one to play with and reconnected with my love of synths and now I can actually afford to buy quite nice gear. During the pandemic, working from home, lead me to learn about what happened in the synth world since Id been away from it. I watched a lot of CZcams videos, eventually learned about Eurorack and other modular formats. I'm now starting to look at DIY kits for some modules and have a few in progress. Befaco is a great resource for kits, not only do they rate the builds but offer a "fix" service if your module doesn't work (though you can often learn a lot by fixing it yourself ;-). My goal is to eventually get into SMD (I'm thinking I'd need a microscope since my eyes are not as good as they used to be. I've looked at perhaps graduating to using stencils and solder paste with hot air). Eventually I'd love to be able to build some of the ST Modular kits, and ultimately something like the Euphoria (czcams.com/video/N18EFtKJFZM/video.html). I took a course on using KiCad because I eventually want to design and build my own modules. Since I write code for a living I also want to look at some of the Mutable Instruments modules, maybe try to build a clone one day. I've already started looking at Teensy and other controllers like the STM. I should also mention that Synthux Academy (czcams.com/users/synthuxacademy) have a dev board and videos on building synths which you might find interesting.
Sounds like we have similar goals for the microcontroller projects! My next Mutable project will be one of those STM modules, so that’s going to be exciting. I don’t use a microscope, but I typically double check with an 8x magnifier after I placed the components with solder paste. I don’t use stencils, which would definitely be quicker, but usually they get ridiculously annoying to ship so I just use too much paste placed with a syringe and it works out anyway. My eyesight isn’t great either, but the magnifier is usually enough. SMD soldiering is definitely easier than it looks 😀 you’ll do just fine!
So friggin cool!! I loved hearing your journey :)
Super cool! I like how you in the beginning don't add many technical terms. When hearing this story I thought of another cool DYI person Jeri Ellsworth.
It’s difficult to talk about this stuff without all the jargon because Modular is such a technical way of making music. I tried my best to keep it accessible and explain what I’m talking about. Not sure I managed throughout, but I guess it’s like Star Trek episodes when the technobabble starts 😂 as long as most of it makes sense you can just ignore the technobabble and enjoy the ride anyway. I have to check out that channel too, it looks super interesting!
this was really inspirational, thank you so much for sharing!
such an epic journey, thank you for posting, very inspiring!
Good story
That's really COOL!!!
It's always been my dream to make a modular synthesiser.
thank you for sharing this! what a wonderful journey
i totally relate with your experience and i am glad i am not the only person who wanted to build a synthesizer as a kid, but was put pff by maths and poor resources...all i had was a commodore 64 (how i loved making music with it)...fast forward many years, the pandemic forced all of us at home, working from home 9 to 5, i was fed up of playing piano so guess what..i bought a behringer crave as well and felt compelled to start learning electronics to build something to make the quirky sounds that populate my weird immagination...and here i am, like you with a few rows of eurorack modules and a breadboard where i constantly try to fry ICs in my attempt to make something that sounds like a robot that walks into a steel cave full of squeaky flurry bouncing balls with 3 eyes and a big nose
(or a big farty giant from mars)XD keep your fantasy alive and all the best. hugs
Congrats on all of your progress and success! 👏😎👍
Thank you so much! ✨
Super inspiring. What a wonderful journey.
Props for getting a Mac II connected to the Internet, I remember it was a rather involved process.
I’m not sure what kind of Mac it was actually. It was old and in a public access space at the local dialup internet provider. It was so slow at that point that a Mac II seems likely 😂
Well, you definitely inspired me to actively project new schematics
Oh nice! I wish you good luck with your build!
This is seriously impressive. I’m currently planning to build my own modular from scratch, pretty much starting entirely with Look Mum No Computer’s designs. Thanks for uploading this, it’s so encouraging
Thank you for posting this, I definitely can relate to your journey. Your perseverance is impressive and this testing of patience is very telling of your personality and character. Hats off, dude.
Thank you for watching 🙏 I’m stubborn I guess 😅 I wanted to prove to myself that I can do it!
@@LillySchwartz Stubborn people rule.
We sure get stuff done 😂
Exactly what I thought, it takes a lot of perseverance and focus to overcome every fail (which is inevitable).
I'd like to build a module too, but I know that it requires a lot of effort and time...I'm considering using a microcontroller for my first project, as coding is easier for me. FPGAs are an interesting topic too, but also very complex. The positive aspect is that once you know how to program them, you can design an integrated circuit just with code, avoiding re-design everything (hardware I/O cannot be done this way though).
Keep it up!
So good to see you back!
Glad to see you here :) We moved house and my studio was a construction zone until recently. Finally done now, phew!
Lovely work on this Lilly !
Thank you! 😊
So inspiring !!!!I We need more videos like this, because everybody shows amazing skills in internet, but nobody speaks about the process of learning.
I am learning electronics for make audio stuff. First I am learning repair, arduino, and basic theory in a presential course. I am building my first midi controller, and next I would like make a simple synth. I love your video, it give me perspective about this. Thanks and best regards.
I really enjoyed this video. I too want to build a synth with my own hands but am afraid of all the maths involved! I have been a fan of Look Mum No Computer as well which has inspired me to not give up. The fact that I, an art and humanities person through and through am interested in electronics through synth music is wild, I never would have thought possible. Also so happy to see fellow women learning electronics, we have a long history with electronics and technology from the very start, amazing! Subscribed :)
Thanks Amanda! Glad to get a comment from a woman who wants to learn this! Yay! Girl power! Don't be afraid of the math, you really can do a lot by just tinkering and reading Make Electronics! And don't let the Humanities background stop you either. Back in my Robotics degree we had a few people who came over from philosophy, including myself actually. Media Studies BA, Philosophy BA and then I went into a Robotics MSc from there. Building my Eurorack definitely involved far less maths than my Masters degree. It's always great to see women on the tech side of things! Women have a proud history of being deeply involved in electronic music and tech in general!
I had the same revelation as you did when I decided to learn about synths, but starting in my 50's, I learned first the scientific calculator, then basic Algebra, then trigonometry, then Calculus 1, 2 and 3. I didn't let it stop me! Sounds like you didn't either.
Well done, that’s quite the dedication! I definitely didn’t let it stop me either! 😀 and I’m making progress on the maths too. I learned Algebra so far, still need to cover the rest of your list!
Ive been really into the idea of building my own synths and i think its really cool that you did it.
Go for it! Super fun thing to do and it’s such a cool opportunity to learn something new. And there is a new instrument at the end of the journey which is amazing too!
So cool! great video. I can relate to so many parts of this. Thanks for sharing
Love this. Good on ya!
What a wonderful surprise to find you here, keep posting!
Thank you! I’m working on the next video already 😀
This video is solid gold. Also, I love your calm presence and still personal approach to this complex topic. Therefore, I subscribed after a few minutes of video.
Thank you so much for subscribing and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!
What an absolutely lovely video! Loved learning about your journey :D
I'm currently building my own version of Martin Molin's Modulin from Wintergaten, and I'm learning SO much about modular synths and eurorack and the various specifications and sizes and voltages and everything else. It's been an incredible deep dive. I also don't play any instruments, so I've been learning a lot about music as I go, too!
I can't wait to watch you other videos and see what you're up to now
I’m so glad you liked the video. Wintergaten instruments are so inspiring! What was your motivation for building it when you don’t play any instrument yet? Really cool to learn on something you built yourself!
Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Thank you for watching 😀
This is such a fantastic video! I've been strongly considering getting into this myself so that I can build my own modules for the AE Modular format. Thankyou for posting this roadmap, I'm going to keep coming back to this video as I dive on in :)
Thank you so much! Definitely give it a go! It's an interesting journey! If you want to specifically build for AE modular then one option would be to build a deeper DIY case for it, so that you don't have to start out with SMD soldering! I combine all of it in my rack, Eurorack, semi modular, AE for some cheaper bought modules. It plays together quite nicely with the I/O modules. I haven't yet built anything for AE yet, primarily because my case is already full with their own lovely modules!
@@LillySchwartz Thankyou for the advice! Really glad I found your channel :)
So happy I found your channel, this was very inspiring!! Thank you!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Yr killing it girl! Well done.
This is such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing.. I’m inspired ❤
So inspiring and awesome to see your process
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Amazing, thanks for the inspiration!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Very inspiring and impressive! Great story!
Thank you 🙏 I’m glad you enjoyed it!
What a story! LMNC was my inspiration for starting with synthesizers too. If I had more time I would like to start with a modular setup. Love what you are doing.
Thanks! LMNC is such an inspiration! He does so many cool things. You can always start small with the modular stuff if you have a semi modular already. Just add one module at a time and take time to explore. Then the learning curve isn’t so overwhelming I would suspect!
I love Behringer because they give me a chance to enter into things I could not afford and still can‘t.
Same here! I’ll probably get their other Moog clones as well, the Edge and the Spice. I’ve been dreaming about a Subharmonicon ever since it came out, but I just couldn’t justify the price.
@@LillySchwartz Yes I am thinking about this too. Here in Germany we have a good working online second hand market so there are wonderful Behringer Synths quite affordable. But Lilly you did everything so well. Deepest respect from here to you! 🥰
Aww, thanks Karim! The rack is such a nice companion for my semi-modulars. Well worth all the effort!
Thank you for this amazing deep dive into the process of module building, I've always wanted to build some modules and I think I will over the next year or two.
I started with sound systems and a fuzz pedal too, but the fuzz pedal failed and I couldn't source some of the parts I needed at the time so my soldering iron started gathering dust.
I went for the Behringer Neutron as my first synth because it's as close to all-in-one for what I wanted and pairs fantastically with a midi keyboard and Ableton.
Inspired, easily subscribed, I look forward to seeing more of your creations and hearing your music.
Missed your videos, Lilly! I've been considering downsizing my collection of pedals and experimenting with eurorack, especially the DIY stuff from Thonk
I wouldn't downsize if I was you! Pedals and Eurorack combine pretty well too if you handle the volume properly! Here would be a module that does it, but I normally just use an attenuator and Mutable Ears: www.thonk.co.uk/shop/ai006-kit/ Thonk has tons of great stuff, just a shame there is all the EU tax stuff in the way now. I never know whether I'll get stuck on weird import tax stuff when ordering from them, so I usually stick to the European sources. Eurorack was definitely worth it for me, but it's a slippery slope. I thought I was just gonna build a few modules and somehow ended up with 2 rows. And I'm not really done, I already have a bunch of PCBs for the next row. Oops. 😂
Lilly! You're BACK! Great to see you in my YT feed looking forward to finding the time to watch your new DIY content!
Yes, I'm back! Been too long, but now I'm all set for new vids. A lot more stuff coming soon.
That's very inspiring, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching, Alan!
I have so much respect for people who are not scared to learn.
Awesome story you have lady! 🤘😁👌
I love learning new stuff! When I’m in over my head I’m essentially in my comfort zone.

Wow!
Your work is amazing!
Aw, thank you! 🙏
Awesome thanks for making this
Thanks for the inspiration!
You’re welcome ☺️
awesome and inspiring! thanks Lilly
Glad you liked it 😀
Fantastic build! Nice review!
Thank you Albert! 😀
I Envy your skill and determination. Congrats and happy noodling!
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you for sharing your journey. I am incredibly inspired, now.
I’m glad you liked it 😀
Thank you for sharing your journey! It was wonderfully relaxing listening to you talk about your experiences. I am NOT a DIY builder, but I might be one day!
Glad you enjoyed it! I actually find building those things very relaxing. I mean, not when things go wrong obviously, but when it works out it’s really just very meditative like most mildly repetitive work 🙃 give it a go, it was a great experience for me!
What a wonderful journey! I love hearing about adventures like yours. You are a true inspiration! Best wishes in all of your future projects and successes!
Thank you so much! ✨
Very impressive achievements. Thankyou for sharing your journey. SMD is beyond me, even through-hole is a challenge.
Thanks! What's your soldering iron like and what kind of solder wire do you use? Those are usually the main culprits when through-hole is challenging. I had trouble in the beginning because I didn't have my iron hot enough. SMD is easier in some ways, but time consuming. You really just need a good magnifier. Try out one of those SMD soldering practice kits, you'll see that it really isn't so hard!
This is really cool. I’m pretty heavily into eurorack but I still haven’t built up the nerve to try building my own modules. Well done and great video!
Thank you! Definitely give it a go, it’s easier than you think!
I'm not sure how your video popped up on my playlist but I'm glad I did.
very engaging story and you have a lot of talent.
Subscribed. Great work Lilly!
Aw, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for subscribing 😀
Thank you Lilly. That was inspiring. I've been thinking over the lasr few months about embarking on a DIY eurorack journey as I'm lucky enough to live near both a retailer that stocks Befaco as well as a couple of electronics component stores.
You've helped to give me some confidence that this is achievable for someone like myself who has never held a soldering iron.
All the best and more posts please.
Oh, you can definitely do it! Try some guitar pedals before heading into Befaco modules, Befaco use small resistors so they tend to be a bit close together. Needs a little practice at first. Pedal projects are a lot cheaper too, so it doesn’t matter so much if you don’t get it to work at first. Good practice for sure and in the end you can run your Eurorack through the pedals too. Start with a fuzz because they have the least parts, then work your way up to bigger projects. I like the kits from Musikding personally. They have a lot of schematics on their website too!
Very enjoyable video!
Lilly ...great and very inspiring the way you have achieved things by gradually honing up your sills over the years!! Zillions thumbs up👍👍!!
Thank you! It was a slow process, but I got there eventually 😀
Sick! Very inspiring.
This is incredibly helpful with all the websites and sources. And your story also shows it's not that hard, just learning step by step. Thank you. Best video to start with diy synths.
I’m glad you found the video helpful! 😀
Its good to see you back !
Aww, thanks! 🙏
incredible! thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching ✨ I’m glad you enjoyed it!
this is a life changing video. ❤ so creative and useful.
Aww, thank you! Glad you found it helpful! ✨
You are one reason i started up building modules!
Oh yay! What have you built recently? I’ve been on a bit of a DIY hiatus so that I can focus on writing music with my modular!
Great learning story and achievement, and you presented it in a very enjoyable form, thanks a lot!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! ✨
Thank you, this was really relatable approach to modular rabbit hole 🐇
I'm glad it resonated! I bet most people get super confused at first. It's wild enough to make music with those things, building the modules from scratch gets even more intimidating. It's really not that hard though!
This is awesome, and really inspiring! I've just started building my own modular system, and the temptation to buy more modules is a real thing for sure. At this point I have built a few modules from full kits, and next I want to only buy the PCBs and source my own parts.
My goal is to eventually be able to understand schematics and maybe come up with some of my own designs!
Cheers!
Thank you! That’s awesome! Did you source your parts for your projects already? It comes out quite a bit cheaper but selecting all the right parts takes a long time because stuff goes out of stock so frequently. Finding what you need in the Mouser catalog is a black art too 😅
That was a very enjoyable account of your adventure. Congratulations and have fun with it!
Thank you Brian 😀
Holy carp, thats the _coolest damn video/project_ the algorithm has let me stumble on this month.
Personally I've mostly stuck to a few years of coding my own VCV or VST utilities or ideas, analog circuit design is just on a whole other arcane level.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! At some point I would like to get into the VST stuff too since I originally got into tech through coding. I’m hoping that there will be some cool digital modules that I designed myself in my future, that would be great! Those kinds of modules always tend to be the most expensive ones to buy.
hello, thank you for sharing your stories about your journey through DIY modular synth :) i was always wanted to do DIY stuff with music and didn't have a courage to try, however I recently attend DIY Eurorack Modular Class in Seoul, and i'll go forward from here. your story really telling a good depts of journey.
Oh, that sounds great to have a class that teaches it. This kind of thing always tends to be more intimidating if there is nobody to ask for help. Don’t be afraid to try it though, it’s definitely easier than it looks, isn’t it?
Wow when you say from scratch you really mean it!
Cool stuff 👍👍
super relatable! I love it. It all starts with a single step.
Glad you like it! The realisation that you can do it is always the first step! 😀
So glad I happened to stumble across your channel!
That’s always nice to hear 😀
Thanks.. This was a very inspiring description of your journey.. I also want to start building some simple circuits and learn more about analog builds so this video was an excellent insight.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Go for it! I found the process really rewarding and I learned a lot in the process!
this is so amazing!!
Aw, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😀
You are awesome!. Congrats and also thanks for sharing this info. :)
Thank you for the video! Sam's vids at LMNK also got me interested in modular synthesis, and I got a prep built kit A few months ago. Trying to figure out what to do next, and the thing that helps with that is seeing other people's journeys
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! And Sam is such an inspiration, watching him do his thing always makes me want to build stuff. I think Befaco kits tend to give a good range of complexity and their modules are really cool! You can even try many of them in VCV rack first to see whether you actually use them.
Wow! Bravo girl!
UUh, such a calm, relaxing, interesting video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it, Oluf! 😀
So impressed !
Thank you 😀
OMG, LILLY, I didn't know you were into Eurorack! Congrats on achieving the dream of building an entire rack of modules with your own hands. As someone who bought all of their modules for a 208HP case, I wish I did what you did - it would have given me an even deeper connection with my synth.
Either way, I can't wait to hear more sounds from your synth!
Synths are my sweet spot, I always use tons of them in my music! Eurorack was one of those things that couldn't be avoided 😂 Entirely doomed as soon as I stumbled into it, perfect mix of freaky experimental sounds and cool DIY. And it can't be easily emulated either, virtual cables just aren't the same, I play VCV rack entirely differently. Since when have you been into it? I remember messing about with Reaktor already 20 years ago. I could never get the hang of it until I had actual knobs and patch cables in front of me! Sounds from the modular coming very soon!
Very inspirational video. Thanks.
Aww, thank you! 😀
Lilly, Most impressive! I've followed a similar path, but over a much longer time frame. I'm two years into learning the math for Electrical Engineering. I'm finishing up Calculus now. Your persistence is commendable!
Oh, that’s cool that you’re really into the maths side of things. I definitely want to do that too. I finished revising Algebra so far. Still got a long way to go before I’ll be done with Calculus! It’s not that essential for what I want to do though, so I’m taking my time 😀
very cool! Thanks for sharing!
heyy you are amazing, thanks for sharing your progress, its massive inspiration for me ☺
Love this... Hope i get mine ready, too
Good luck with it 😀
Very inspiring
eurorack seems like an ideal platform for DIY synth projects.
My father was an electronics technician, he instilled in me a love of electronics from a young age, he even taught me to solder. Now that he is gone, I feel that my great passion, which is music, is so connected to electronics that I began to study the electronics of synthesizers and sound design. In a way it keeps me close to him. I've always thought it would be great to make a synthesizer.
That’s so nice that your father taught you to solder! My dad taught me coding, so we’re also connected through technology like that. Definitely give building synths a go, it’s easier than I thought and it makes you feel so much more connected to your instrument too. Thank you for sharing your story too 😀
@@LillySchwartz Glad to read that!
Congrats for your project and also for inspiring by sharing. Have a beautiful day.
Thank you 🙏 You have a beautiful day too!
Amazing!! ❤
Branches was my first smd project too. Thanks for sharing!
It’s a lovely easy project to start with and I find it so useful too!
What you have done is excellent. I'm right at the beginning of the modular journey and watching your video is inspirational. Thanks.
