Music Thing Modular - Workshop System

The Workshop System is a complete modular synthesizer and audio computer – small enough to fit in a book-sized case, but packed with sound-shaping tools and educational potential. Designed for musicians, makers and tinkerers, it’s a fully modular playground for learning, composing, experimenting, and hacking.

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.

DIY-Kit-Type:
SMD-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. All SMD parts are pre-soldered, only trough-hole parts to solder. For build guide, more info, videos etc. please check the buttons below.
