Music Thing Modular - Workshop System
Product information "Music Thing Modular - Workshop System"
The system includes 14 analog and digital modules, ranging from vintage-style oscillators and filters to a programmable digital Computer module with swappable program cards. It works standalone inside its custom case or can be mounted in a Eurorack system (42 HP).
You can use the system for crafting pure tones, exploring feedback loops, integrating guitar pedals, or writing your own firmware – the Workshop System invites hands-on discovery and creative exploration.
Features:
• Complete modular synth in a compact, case-mounted 42HP format
• Includes 14 modules: oscillators, filters, mixer, ring mod, stompbox loop, envelope generators, and more
• Powerful Computer module with RP2040 brain and reprogrammable program cards
• Runs on USB-C (Power Delivery!) power (15 V) or standard Eurorack barrel input (15-25 V DC)
• Works with audio sources, guitar pedals, microphones, and external MIDI/CV gear
• Designed for experimentation, hacking, education – and serious music making
The kit does not include:
• Eurorack patch cables – we figure that many users of modular synths already have patch cables lying around – but if you’re just starting out and would like a set of short patch cables then we have a cable set available HERE• A power cable – The Workshop System has two power options: The easiest way is via USB-C PD power, but you can also use a regular 15-25 V DC barrel connection like THIS. The system will happily run from battery powerbanks and laptop adaptors. We feel that there are already enough USB-C cables in the world.
