@Replicant2501

Thanks for the feedback, and for the honest take.

On the advantages, here is where it comes from for me:

I have a huge rack in my studio and another huge rack at home. Every time I buy a module I go back and forth about which rack it should live in, and whichever way I decide, sooner or later there's the moment where I sit in front of one rack and wish I had that one module from the other. With cassettes, that's a few-seconds move instead of an evening with a screwdriver.
And the time-consuming decision part disappears completely: which modules do I pull to make room, how do I fill the gap that leaves behind, and what else has to be rearranged to make it all fit.

I've also often wished for a very small rack to learn a single module in isolation. Ideally not sitting in front of a monster system, but small and tidy on the desk in front of me. I picture a little two-slot rack: one cassette with a handful of essentials, the second cassette holding exactly the module I want to dig into. Swap the second cassette, learn the next one.

And a few friends occasionally bring parts of their racks over when they visit. If their cassettes are compatible with my frames (which is what they're aiming for), it becomes very easy to bring whole cassettes along, or to lend them back and forth for a few weeks without anyone unscrewing anything.

So yes, functionally a cassette is close to a small powered case. The difference is that the "case" part is shared and stays put, and the moving part is only what has to move: rails, busboard, modules, no PSU, no cheeks, no cables to plug.

Your points on the hardware are well taken. Bent perforated sheet instead of the L profiles is a good thought, stronger and gives shielding and airflow in one part. Aluminium cheeks and levers would definitely look and feel better; I've started with printed parts because every dimension is still changing, but that's exactly the kind of upgrade that makes sense once the geometry is settled.

Your flip case idea is fun and creative, I like the chalkboard picture. How well it can actually be built is another story. :)

EDITED Sep 15th, 08:53

I'm looking for a "modular" modular case.

I have roughly 12 running metres of Eurorack (about 2400 HP), spread over several cases, plus a couple more metres of unracked modules. Rearranging anything and interchanging modules between racks means unscrewing modules, unplugging power, moving, replugging, screwing. So:

Is there any rack system built from cassettes and slide-in frames, so you can completely rearrange your rack in a few seconds? My searches came up empty.

In the meantime I had an AI assistant design one to my spec. The concept:
• Each slide-in frame carries power. A cassette is a complete 3U unit with its own rails and busboard, and it slides into the frame from the front, makes contact at the back and locks at the front.
• Cassettes go in and out in seconds. A lever on each side locks the cassette and also ejects it, no thumbscrews.
• Power goes through spring contacts on both sides, like a cordless drill battery. Standard gold-plated battery connectors, 5 A per contact, +12/-12/+5/GND, everything doubled.
• In theory it retrofits into any existing case: nothing sits higher than normal rails, the row pitch is 3U plus 1 mm, and you can make it any width in HP.
• Space-efficient: you lose less than 3 HP per side (cheek + gap + frame plate = 14.5 mm).
• Frames bolt together sideways and vertically, flush, nothing sticking out. Angled brackets let you stack rows at 30, 45 or 90 degrees, so a flat-to-vertical console needs no wooden cheeks at all.
• No fiddling with busboard cables: with the cassette out, the busboard is fully accessible from the back.
• Parts: 3D-printed cheeks, lever and frame plates, standard aluminium rails and L profiles, two small PCBs for the contacts. Nothing exotic.
Is there a case manufacturer offering something like this, or even a more mature, tested solution? I'd rather buy than build.

For anyone interested, here is a 3D model of the idea (interactive, rotate and zoom, slide the cassette in and out):
https://claude.ai/code/artifact/d3cbaf71-6c02-4657-91d7-08561216aa77
It's a design only at this point, not finished and nothing has been printed or tested yet.

Thoughts, ideas, things I'm missing? I think this could work.

Happy patching!

Link Modules

Adjacent modules can now be linked into a single block and moved together. Linked blocks stay connected when using Optimize Rack Space!
Finally your expander modules stay in place!
-- modulargrid

Thank you for this nice feature!
I dont know if this is relevant - but i noticed that this feature is very hard to use with 2hp modules.
consider to apply an y-offset on overlapping link buttons.

hi, i have a tesseract tex mix with stereo and mono modules. i want to add an extra mono module but the cable only has 3 connectors. Searched everywhere online. Anyone know where i can find one with 4 or 5 connectors?

-- Nilbig

I don't own a Tex Mix myself, but I assume you are referring to this cable!?

A few things to consider:
- You have to ensure that the module actually supports attaching that many expanders to a single chain (EDIT: according to the manual (on page 2) 6 channel expanders should be ok).
- You need to make sure the pitch is correct (I assume it's the standard Eurorack 2.54mm pitch).
- If you can't find one online, you can easily build these cables yourself! It's actually quite simple and requires no soldering – you just press the connectors onto the ribbon cable with some pliers. Of course you have to double check the orientation of the connectors + red stripe. But it shouldn't be that hard as you already have a template.

Here are the parts you would need (links are from a German electronics store, but you can find these anywhere):

re: the row combobox, when I add a module (with the add icon in the search results), Ican't control where or which row it goes into. And because the mover isn't accessible (I can't just focus on the last module in the row), I can't easily just move everything far right so the next items would be added in the row below.

-- eroe

This might be a good time to revisit an idea I brought up a while ago.

...position of pasted module
currently the pasted module is pasted on the next free space on the very top left.
it would be very useful when you track a click event and place it exactly there after pasting.
this would be especially helpful when rearranging a large rack from scratch with 2 browser windows.
-- modular01

Since a single row can often have multiple separate empty spaces, maybe adding modules could be made much more accessible if there was a way to specify not just the target row, but the exact empty slot you want to place it in (as long as the slot is wide enough).

I don't have a concrete idea on how to implement this technically right now, but perhaps this is a useful angle to consider while working out a solution together.

I'm considering creating an internal rack connection between the WMD Performance Mixer MKII expander slots and the 8TR recorder, but I couldn't find any photos of the back of the unit anywhere.

I figured ModularGrid is the perfect place to share exactly this kind of information. In case anyone else is curious about what the back looks like, here is a picture:

Additional Note: Please keep in mind that the WMD PM MKII uses a 2mm pitch header, while the 8TR uses the standard 2.54mm (0.1") pitch headers. You'll need a custom adapter or specific cabling to bridge the two.

There appears to be a small tab on the board that sticks out and prevents the module from going into the rack.

carefully remove/break away the tab (for example with pliers) - it has no connectivity so it will not be an issue

...I'm finally getting around to putting mostly all in one case...
-- dform98

Purely out of curiosity: do you build your mega case yourself, or is it something you buy ready-made?
How big will it end up being in the end?
And what non-Eurorack gear are you using together with the case (I noticed you have a Cirklon expander mounted in it)?

For my permanent wiring I exclusively use right-angle plugs, and for regular patching I use straight plugs.
That makes it very easy to completely unpatch the rack without accidentally pulling out connections that are meant to stay permanent.

Long term, I’d like to switch the permanent wiring to Tendrils – Stakkas, but that’s mainly a matter of cost and availability.

When entire cable runs go vertically through the case, I also don’t mind placing a blank panel underneath them.

Unfortunately, I think my custom internal signal bus is hard to retrofit into “normal” Eurorack cases simply due to space constraints.
On top of that, I’ve modded all relevant modules by soldering a small wire to their CLOCK, RESET, and GND points and adding a custom connector. It’s a very minimal modification and easy to undo, but understandably not everyone is comfortable doing that.
Anyway, I’m planning to put together a small presentation about it sometime soon.

As for clocking in general: I don’t know how it is in your system, but in mine it’s technically impossible to drive all clock/reset-capable modules from the same clock. Roughly half of them would have an offset.
Because of that, I built an alternative master clock using an Arduino.

The idea is simple: the first clock pulse is withheld, not sent out.
Additionally, some modules in my setup require an inverted reset signal to end up perfectly in sync again after pressing stop/start.

It’s a bit unfortunate that there’s no real standard for this.

Right now I’m very keen to try @roboDNA’s PULSE module. I’m really curious whether it can solve these sync issues and potentially make my Arduino obsolete.
Ideally, it would also allow tempo divisions (and maybe multiplications in the future) for permanently patched modules while accounting for the often very idiosyncratic reset behavior of different modules. In case it solves this problem i probably will add 2 PULSE instances to my rack.

What matters most to me is simple:
after hitting stop and start, everything must still be perfectly in sync.

...Any suggestions for making this more usable in general would be great...
-- dform98

I also have a rather large case. I can’t really give you a concrete recommendation, but I can share some of my personal learnings from the last few years.

Some of these points may not apply to you, since my setup has a few special characteristics:

• In most situations, the case is used by two people simultaneously.
• The case sits on a wheeled, height-adjustable desk, so it can be used sitting or standing.
• I designed a custom, internal “signal bus” inside the case that supplies most clock- and reset-capable modules from the back with clock and reset signals by default.
  This default routing can be overridden (“overpatched”) via a dedicated module if needed.
• The horizontal part of my case is 6U. It mainly holds a Keystep Pro and a Launchpad for drum sequencing.

---

First approach: Top to bottom (by rough function)

I initially organized the case from top to bottom with a coarse functional grouping:

• VCOs
• Filters + envelopes
• Envelopes + VCAs + utilities
• Drum section + utilities
• Mixer + effects
• Sequencers

What bothered me most with this setup was that, once patches were already in place, I constantly had to look closely to understand what was currently doing what and how things were connected.

---

Second approach: Outside to inside

Next, I tried an “outside to inside” layout. In most rows it looked roughly like this:

VCO | Filter | Envelope | VCA | FX || Modulation / Utilities || FX | VCA | Envelope | Filter | VCO

Pros

• In many cases, the signal flow was easier to remember and visually more intuitive.

Cons

• I tended to patch the same or very similar signal flows over and over again, instead of exploring new routing ideas.

---

Current approach: Relevance-based (pretending the case is smaller)

My current strategy is to pretend that I have a much smaller case and to arrange modules primarily by relevance — a softened form of “decluttering”.

• Modules I use rarely or that have little interaction go into the upper half (top 9U).
• Modules that should live in my fictional “small case” go into the lower half (everything below those top 9U).

The lower half now again starts from the top with VCOs.

With this setup, I can reach basically everything while sitting down, without having to stand up. Cable runs also tend to be a bit shorter.

If it turns out that I start using a module from the upper half a lot, something from the lower half has to make room — and that module moves down.

---

General principles that apply to all approaches

• Same brand grouped together?
  Absolutely not — and completely irrelevant anyway. My case is not a beauty salon.
  Quite the opposite: duplicate modules or modules with similar functionality are deliberately spread left and right across the case to keep cable runs shorter.

• The drum section is always grouped together as a “drum island”, with its own mixer, and is largely permanently patched.

• The final mixer sits in the center of the lowest vertical row.

• At the very front of the horizontal part of the rack (which is fairly small in my case due to the Keystep Pro and Launchpad), I keep performance-oriented modules:

  • Master FX over the full audio sum (Oxi Meta)
  • Control for a DJ-style filter over the full drum sum (Disting mk4)
  • Manual triggers
  • Joystick

---

Maybe one or two of these thought processes are useful to you.

Happy patching with your impressive setup!

Hi and welcome 🙂
Your question is extremely open-ended, so there are about a dozen different ways to interpret it right now.

For example, do you mean:
Are you trying to patch a real, physical Eurorack on your desk?
Or are you talking about ModularGrid’s virtual rack view?
Which modules are involved?
Just to be clear: ModularGrid is mainly a planning tool, not a full modular simulator.
If your goal is to learn how patching works, you might want to start with something like VCV Rack, which is free and specifically designed for experimenting and learning patching concepts without hardware.
If you can clarify what exactly you’re trying to do and where it fails, people here will be much better able to help 👍

Here in Austria we have quite a few DIY / makerspaces. You can either rent workshop space with tools and machines (3D printers, woodworking tools, etc.), or get hands-on help with all kinds of practical repairs.

It might be worth checking whether something like this exists in your area and asking if they can help you out.

If you really can’t find anyone locally and you’re okay with sending the module to Austria, I’d be happy to resolder or replace the fader for you.

Hi, one of the sliders (number 9) of my Stillson seems defunct: no light flashing, but also no reactions to change of tone. is there someone who can look into this module and fix it?
Greetings

-- alexbreugelmans

you might want to mention where in the world you’re located 🙂
That makes it a lot easier for someone to know whether helping with a repair is realistically possible.

Just as a heads-up: slider replacement itself isn’t a big deal, and with a bit of luck it might not even need replacing at all — sometimes it’s just a cold solder joint.

That said, it does make sense to have a replacement fader ready beforehand, for example something like this:
https://www.digikey.at/de/products/detail/bourns-inc/PTL30-15R0-104B2/16356753

Hope you get it fixed!

@modulargrid Thanks a lot for adding the category!

A small note, slightly off topic:
If you want Precision Adder to appear as the first category — which makes sense for some modules where that’s the main function — you can do the following:

Deselect all other categories except Precision Adder and save the module.

Then re-add the other categories and save again.

That way, Precision Adder will stay at the top.

By the way, sometimes it’s really inconvenient that “approved by manufacturer” entries can’t be edited — especially since there probably aren’t any moderators actively maintaining those, right?

It also would be possible to use only cables without any additional module.

This doesn’t seem to be about advertising on these platforms, but rather that purchasing modules from "Signs Modular" is only possible by contacting them via Instagram or X.

Personally, I also believe there should be an alternative way to get in touch, so that people don’t have to create an account on these morally and socially questionable platforms just to initiate a module purchase.

Could be someone be so kind to help me if this system makes sense? Thank You
-- MX___

Sure! Your system technically may makes sense... but only in the same way that a house made entirely of cardboard technically provides shelter.

Behringer modules will make sound, sure, but their business model is basically "copy & undercut," which isn’t exactly what the Eurorack spirit is about. If you’re okay with that, go for it! But if you want to support innovation, independent creators, and long-term quality, you might want to mix in some non-Behringer modules.

TL;DR: It’ll work, but you might wake up one day and realize your entire rack is just a cheap clone of someone else’s hard work. 😉

Have some patience with the MG developers—it’s not as simple as it might seem.

The option to "Show/Hide modules that are in the current rack" could probably be implemented fairly quickly.
But a full Rack Diff Wizard is a bit more complex.

A proper concept would need to be worked out first:
- What should the input interface look like? Maybe two dropdowns where you select two racks to compare?
- Should it even allow selecting multiple racks at once?
- Do you want to see only the modules that are in all selected racks (the intersection)?
- Or only the ones that are not in the intersection?
- What should happen with the result?
- Should you be able to create a new rack from the comparison?
- Should there be a JSON export that you can manually import as a new rack?
- Or should all modules be tagged with "unracked" and the filter options have to be extended?

So many questions...

You could try drafting a solid concept for it. That would definitely increase the chances of the MG developers implementing it at some point!

A few days ago, I needed the same thing.
A diff wizard for two or more racks would be really great.

Essentially, these NKPs are just a collection of capacitors. Many bus boards already have similar components built in. I can’t say for sure if this is an effective solution for eliminating noise, but I assume it could help in certain configurations.

If you have any idea what it could be, I'd love to hear from you.
-- Hoggres

I don’t have a definitive solution, but I do have a few suggestions to consider:

Approach 1:

Unplug all modules from the power bus. Reconnect the modules one by one. This might help identify if a specific module is causing the noise. If you find the source, consider using a "Noise Killer Plug" on the problematic module: https://www.midi-hardware.com/?section=prod_info&product=NKP

Approach 2:

Take a loose wire and connect one end to the rail of your Eurorack and the other end to the casing of your other equipment (e.g., audio interface, amplifier) or any component involved in your audio signal chain.

Approach 3:

Start by simplifying your audio path to isolate the issue.

Begin with the simplest setup: Eurorack -> amplifier.
Gradually add components: Eurorack -> audio interface -> amplifier. Adapt this sequence based on your actual setup.

Approach 4:

Try using a different sound system. Take your rack to a friend’s place and test it there. If the noise is absent, there might be a device in your home setup (e.g., a refrigerator) causing interference. Rotating power plugs by 180 degrees might help (if your country uses reversible power plugs).

Personal Experience:

I have a "WMD Performance Mixer Mk1" that produced significant noise through my speakers. After connecting this module to a different power supply in my rack (I have eight Meanwell RT-65B units), the noise disappeared. Replacing the Meanwell RT-65B made no difference. This suggests that certain module combinations within the same power supply can create noise issues.

Good luck!

Finally circling back around here... This doesn't seem to be returning all of my modules. Are their other parameters for paging through, or a flag to dump everything?

Does it make sense to lock module editing even when there is no information about module depth or 5V power consumption?

@modulargrid: consider to make those fields required before beeing able to set it to "Approved by manufacturer"

Power Supply (uZeus 4HP) specs:

-12V: 500 mA
+5V: 170 mA

Doepfer basic VCO A-110-1 needs:

-12V: 20 mA
+5V: 0 mA

Moog Mavis needs:
+12V: 112 mA
-12V: 0 mA
+5V: 0 mA

you can simply sum up those numbers for each power line (+12V, -12V, +5V) and compare it with the numbers of your power supply. as a recommendation you should not exceed 75-80% of the given power supply

If those numbers are correct (please verify yourself) it is totally safe to use it for your 2 modules. Further you have a lot of headroom for more power hungry modules left...

modulargrid.com is now an alternative domain for modulargrid.net.

-- modulargrid

copy/paste modules between .net and .com top level domains does also not work. each site has its own "server side clipboard".
the urls
/e/modules/add_to_clipboard.json?moduleId=xxx
and
/e/modules/get_from_clipboard.json
seems to be persisted in the MG database on a user session basis instead of a user basis!?

-- modulargrid

This does not work for me
each browser session has its own clipboard

When dealing with multiple browser windows for rearrangements all windows are doomed to use the same zoom level.
This is a bit tedious when dealing with one huge and one small rack.
As far as i know the browser zoom level is always the same for each (sub)domain.

@modulargrid can you try to add a 2nd subdomain which serves the same site (like www2.modulargrid.net ) to allow different zoom levels?
Or will this break the copy paste functionality?
In case you give it a try dont forget to set canonical meta tags and disable site indexing.
thx!

Is it possible to automatically create a rack with all modules in my collection?

as far as i know this is not possible

Or at least to see the total HP of the collection?

At the bottom of your racks there is a link to the data sheet:

At the bottom of the data sheet you can see the total HP

Would like to somehow see everything that I have.

you can add all modules of your rack(s) to your collection:

You have a list of all your modules in the my modules tab:

Found some querying inconsistencies in the Module Finder when it comes to modules listed under the "Other/unknown" manufacturer:
...
-- drohn

"other/unknown" is excluded on purpose which makes sense to me.
There is a hint when you have 0 search results as well:
