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!
