Standards of Eurorack

The Eurorack standard was developed by Dieter Döpfer in 1996. Before that, there were several different standards on which modular synthesisers were built, such as the 5U Moog system, the Buchla format, or some Eurocard-sized synths like the Elektor Formant. However, none of these were well known or widely available. Since then, more developers have started to build modules in this standard. Today, there are over 600 manufacturers and more than 1.000 modules on the market.

On this website, we have compiled all the necessary information for people interested in synth DIY and Eurorack synthesizers. That makes this website the perfect resource for mechanical and electrical Eurorack standards, so you might want to bookmark it.
