What power supply do I need for Eurorack?
+/-12VDC supply
Eurorack modules usually require a +/-12VDC supply, meaning +12VDC and -12VDC source, while a few also require a separate +5VDC source. It’s important to pay attention to the ribbon cable; along one side there will be a red line.
What voltage does Eurorack use?
Eurorack uses a standard of 1 volt per octave (1V/OCT) to set the pitch of oscillators in order to generate musical notes. This means that the 12 notes of a scale are divided between the range of zero to one volt, and jumping from 1V to 2V will step up by an octave.
What is Eurorack HP?
Horizontal pitch (HP) is a unit of length defined by the Eurocard printed circuit board standard used to measure the horizontal width of rack mounted electronic equipment, similar to the rack unit (U) used to measure vertical heights of rack mounted equipment. One HP is 0.2 inches (5.08 mm) wide.
Why is it called Eurorack?
A modular synthesizer format which falls into the “small format” category. Originally derived from various standards for 19″ rack system based industrial and lab instrumentation known as (DIN 41494 / IEC 297-3 / IEEE 1001.1) and sometimes housed ‘Eurocard’ technology.
What is 1v Oct?
To be more specific, 1v/oct stands for 1 volt per octave. It is a system that Moog came up with in the early days. One volt corresponds to one musical octave.
What size are Eurorack screws?
“Short” screws are 6mm long; this is the length of screw typically included with new Eurorack modules. “Medium” screws are 8mm long, and are often a better choice if you’re mounting your modules with washers to prevent rack rash.
What is meant by a synthesizer being modular?
Simply put, a modular synthesizer is an electronic musical instrument that consists of a multitude of different components (modules) that are used and combined to create electronic sounds. The individual modules are connected via cables (patch cables), switches, sliders and patch panels.
How does the auduino module work?
This is the first module I have created, and it makes some gorgeous ambient sounds (which you can hear in my video). The Auduino works by creating two triangle waves with pitch and decay knobs, which you turn and tune to form interesting harmonics.

How do I connect my Arduinos to my potentiometer?
– The centre pin on each potentiometer is connected to (respectively) Arduinos analog inputs 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. – The audio out jack is connected to ground from its ground pin, and to the Arduinos digital out 3 from its signal pin (s). – The LED is connected to ground from its ground pin, and to the Arduinos digital out 13 from it’s positive pin.
What is a mini piano synthesizer?
A mini piano synthesizer running on Arduino UNO. The main objective of this piano being his ability to function independently. A simple yet functional button based MIDI piano. An Arduino Uno-controlled synthesizer with knobs, joystick, and ribbon controller in a portable package.
