    Dude, bravo. Easily the most straightforward explanation of the confusing world of eurocrack.

    • @CoreyHague

      And I assume the HEK has enough power to run the m32? I'd heard that it needs more than usual, but is it working okay for you?

    • @GrimTransmission

      Sorry for late reply, I stopped getting notifications for messages (also, same person just using my personal account). If i'm not already too late; yes the HEK has enough for the Mo32 and 6 other smaller modules.
      My first problem with power I came across is when I tried to add my Behringer Model D to my current setup. The AC Adaptor wasn't enough so I ended up having to order the larger one (i'll make a vid about it once it arrives). The larger one peaks at 3000mA which means you can get about 2000mA out of it before it starts playing up. That should easily be enough to run both the Mo32, Behringer Model D, and maybe about 11 other 6hp modules, and it was only $30 USD.

    This video is epic. Perfect explainer for newbies and a great way to make Eurorack affordable / accessible without the carpentry skills to build a case from scratch. Nice one 👌

      No, thank YOU! It was engaging the whole way through, unlike many other videos I come across. It was of a very palatable length and packed with lots of good information.
      The video gives me some ideas for designing and building something of my own…soon.

    Conversation between my (dopamin driven brain) and (rational thinking brain)
    (Dopamin) - "have u ever wanted to get into eurorack modulars"
    (Rational) -"no"
    (Dopamin) - "The first thing u gonna need is a case"

    Thank You for explaining it to me (I'm slower then an old man in slippers). I was trying to buy rails but don't understand the lengths( trying to mount inside an old service case 20 2/16 wide).

    • @similarsystem252
      @similarsystem252  5 років тому

      No worries. Made this video because I myself was strugling to find an explenation of basic things like power modules and rail sizes, so i'm glad i could be of help.

    If anyone can direct to where I can find dimensions for a shelf/rack like this or other simple diy dimensions I’d greatly appreciate it. Bummed Ikea stopped selling these.

    if I have 104hp in modules would I need to buy two Happy Ending Kits?

    • @GrimTransmission
      @GrimTransmission 2 місяці тому +1

      They're 84hp, but TipTop also sells each part of the HEK seperately. So yes, you'll either need to buy two, or a better method mightbe buying one, and then buying an extra set of Z-rails and Z-ears.

    Why is no one using a normal computer PSU? It outputs 12V and 5V and can source enough power for everything.

    hey, if anyone knows if it's possible to build a eurorack setup with the basic modules for a budget of maximum 200 USD, that would be amazing

    • @GrimTransmission
      @GrimTransmission 6 років тому

      Unfortunately that's just not possible. Like not even close. Quite a few necessary modules just to start (such as a filter, lfo, or oscillator) could cost close to $200 each.
      If you're super interested in these kind of synths but are on a budget you're better off saving up for a semi-modular, such as a Korg MS-20 Mini or a Behringer Neutron, or a Make Noise 0-Coast.
