> Modulars are expensive!
So often eurorack synth building ends up in addiction like gear acquisition syndrome that it's almost like gambling. The only reasonably priced building is via DIY kits, but it still end up expensive and even more so time consuming, so it suits those who like soldering more than making music. I'm excited for a few digital eurorack modules, like Erica Synths Black Wavetable VCO, but no one could argue that it's affordable for a hobbyist.
- klodolph 6y agoWas the Korg M1 affordable for a hobbyist? It cost $2,166 at launch in 1988, or about $4,800 adjusted for inflation in 2020. You can get into eurorack for under a grand easily these days. Considering that you might easily spend more money if your hobby is playing the violin or piano, or taking photographs, it doesn’t sound outrageous to me.
