I built this system during lockdown, but sadly have never had time to use it very much since. All modules have been bought brand new and the system has been kept in a clean, dry, smoke-free environment.

This would make an ideal first system for someone just getting into modular or a seasoned musician looking for a versatile and highly configurable synth.

In spite of its clinical 'science lab' aesthetic, this synth can be a beast, with the ability to produce some extremely powerful bass and lead sounds. It can also be delicate and musical, produce analog drum sounds or wild experimental sounds.

Utilising it's MIDI / USB interface and using external sequencers or trigger modules, you could produce an entire piece of music with multiple parts.

Rather than list all the individual modules here, the detailed plan for the rack is on Modular Grid:

A lot of care and attention went into selecting the modules and building this system - you'll note that the modules line up nicely with each other - and I hope it goes to a good home :)

The system is pretty heavy, so a local pick-up in West London would be ideal.
