A Modbap Modular publication, written by Neil Ritchie with editorial and creative direction from Corry Banks, based on the Modbap “Make, Shape, Move” framework.
This 80-page digital guide lays down the foundation for Eurorack modular synthesis using the Make, Shape, Move approach — a simple yet powerful way to understand sound creation, shaping, and modulation in modular systems.
Inside you’ll find clear, practical explanations covering:
Choosing the right case and power supply
Core module types (oscillators, filters, VCAs, envelopes, modulation sources)
How to apply the Make, Shape, Move framework to patch with intention
Safety tips, accessories, and workflow advice to set you up for success
Think of it as your modular “field manual.” Beginners get a roadmap to start their journey with confidence, while experienced patchers can use it as a handy reference to revisit the essentials.
