About This Podcast

The Rack Pack is a podcast where five synth-obsessed friends dive deep into the strange, beautiful, and occasionally chaotic world of modular synthesis. In each episode, we explore our favorite gear, discuss patching strategies, share creative inspiration, and navigate the ever-growing rabbit hole that is Eurorack. Whether you're a seasoned modular veteran or just starting to eye your first case, we're here to celebrate the joy of sound exploration with plenty of laughs, strong opinions, and tangled patch cables along the way.
