Is AE modular compatible with Eurorack?

AE Modular is NOT Eurorack compatible and uses simple patch-wires and small pin-sockets.

What is a Eurorack system?

Eurorack synthesis is a specific type of modular synthesis based on modules that all share the exact same height (128.5mm/5.06″) and varying widths that conform to units called “HP,” which stands for Horizontal Pitch (1HP is 5.08mm/0.2″).

What modules do you need to start a Eurorack?

The essential starting point of any Eurorack synth is a case and power supply. While the two are often integrated together, buying a second-hand unpowered case or building a DIY case can be a cheaper way to get started, either of which will mean you’ll need to buy a separate power supply.
