🎛️eurorack modules worth buying first

not the flashy stuff. what actually taught me signal flow

01
Mutable Instruments Plaits
your first oscillator honestly, 16 modes so you're not buying 3 different ones before you know what you like
02
Make Noise Maths
03
Intellijel Quad VCA
you can never have enough VCAs, this is 4 for the price of complaining about it once
04
Doepfer A-138s Mini Stereo Mixer
05
Doepfer Wasp Filter
(gas alert) not strictly necessary but it's $79 and sounds nastier than it should
06
Music Thing Modular Turing Machine
nobody puts this on beginer lists, looks like a science fair project. taught me sequencer vs clock better than anything else
07
Mutable Instruments Rings
08
Doepfer A-183-1 Attenuator/Offset
