Are all Eurorack modules the same height?
Eurorack synthesis is a specific type of modular synthesis based on modules that all share the exact same height (128.5mm/5.06″) and varying widths that conform to units called “HP,” which stands for Horizontal Pitch (1HP is 5.08mm/0.2″).
Are Behringer Eurorack modules good?
Some people like to sneer at Behringer build quality, but it has to be said that all the modules I tested had an excellent solid feel to the controls and none of the flimsiness you can sometimes experience from far more expensive Eurorack brands.
Is Eurorack the same as 500 Series?
Re: eurorack/lunchbox questions Lunchbox = 500 series. Eurorack = 3U modular started by Doepfer in the 90ies. The DSI module is the latter.
How much is 1hp Eurorack?
Rails Sizes Eurorack Rails are measured by their length in HP (HP as explained in the Horizontal Pitch blog), with 1 HP being 1/5 inch or 5.08mm. The Eurorack spacing standard between 2 rails is the distance of 3U, which is the equivalent of 5.25” or 133.35mm.
How big is Eurorack?
Physical. The physical specification is based on the Eurocard standard of: 3U (5.06inches or 128.5mm), where height “U” is measured in rack units, rounded for a lip. [NOTE: 3U in standard rack units would be 5.25inches or 133.3mm.]

How do Eurorack modules work?
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 do I need to start a Eurorack?
The essential starting point of any Eurorack synth is a case and power supply. While the two are often integrated together, buying a second-hand unpowered case or building a DIY case can be a cheaper way to get started, either of which will mean you’ll need to buy a separate power supply.
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.
