Today we talk about the best hardware modular synths in 2023. But before we get into the details, we should first find out what Modular Synths are all about and why they’d be a good addition to your setup.
A modular synthesizer is a device that does not need a keyboard attached to it to produce sounds. Instead, as the name suggests, a mod-synth is put together by combining several separate modules, each of which has its own unique abilities and features.
The sky is the limit when it comes to the modules a mod-synthesizer may have. You can choose voltage-controlled oscillators, filters, noise generators, envelope modules, amplifiers, effect controls, and mixers.
It all depends on your goal and the sound you’re after, as creating a modular synthesizer can only be limited by your imagination. So let’s deep dive into some of the best mod synths in the market and see what each one brings to the table.
Top 7 Hardware Modular Synths Available 2023
1. Roland SYSTEM-500
The System-500 unit by Roland is an all-in-one unit that gives you the utmost control for experimentation.
Takings inspiration from the globally renowned System-100M and System-700 modules, the System-500 comes in a Eurorack format with solid controls and a rugged exterior. As a result, the unit is very versatile and could be the ideal addition to your current setup.
The folks at Roland have packed the System-500 with voltage-controlled oscillators, filters, envelop generators, and effects to fulfill your every need. If you’re willing to spend, this particular offering from Roland offers the most value at the price point.
Key Features:
- Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
The Voltage Controlled Oscillator section is labeled “512” and has dual VCOs that use identical controls and parameters. Starting from the base of the 512, the module has a strip of inputs, including two sets of KEY/2/3 jacks. Voltage is fed through these inputs to control the VCO. Above the input strip are a couple of faders for each of the 2 and 3 input jacks that help attenuate the input voltage. Above the faders is a sync section that allows you to sync two VCOs to produce waveforms that can be delivered individually by a VCO. Next, you get “Range” and “Pitch Control” knobs for both VCOs. The Range knobs depicting octaves labeled 32 – 2 can help change the pitch range, whereas the Pitch control knob can fine-tune the pitch to get it right. Next, you find the PW and PW Mod faders for each VCO. The PW fader can set the ratio between the upper and lower parts of the wave, while the PW Mod determines the modulation intensity on the pulse width. You can also set how hard or soft the sync accuracy will be through the “Sync” switch. Finally, the top strip on the 512 includes a pulse wave, triangle wave, and sawtooth wave output jack for each VCO. - Voltage Controlled Filter
The Voltage Controlled Filter module labeled “521” offers 2 VCF sections. The top strip has three input jacks labeled 1, 2, and 3 for each of the two VCFs. Each of these inputs gets a separate fader ranging from 0 to 10 for adjusting the level of each input. Next, you find “Freq” and “Res” knobs also available for each VCF. The Freq knob ranging from 0 – 10 can help set the frequency value for low pass filtering (LPF). Setting the knob at 10 will allow all waveforms to pass without changing. The Res control works in combination with the LPF control and boosts the frequencies set by the Freq knob. You also get a couple of high pass filter buttons in the section with three settings, including Off and two different intensities of HPF. Two output jacks here exit the signal from the VCF. Finally, just like in the VCO module, you’ll find a strip of Key/2/3 inputs that take in the voltage to control the VCF coloration and two adjustable faders to attenuate this voltage as needed. - Voltage Controlled Amplifier
Labeled “530”, next is the Voltage Control Amplifier. Here you get access to a mixer of sorts with 6 channels. Starting from the bottom, the input strip has two sets of three Mod inputs marked 1, 2, and 3. Each of the three inputs gets a dedicated fader marked 0 to 10 to attenuate the voltage received through the Mod inputs. Above the faders are a pair of knobs, buttons, and outputs. The “Initial” knob sets the initial gain of the VCA, which is the instant where there is no control voltage. Next to the knob are a couple of LEDs that indicate the nature of the output signal, with red depicting an overload. Here you also get a separate output for both VCAs. The Lin/Exp button can decide how the initial gain setting affects the audio signal. The two available options are linear and exponential. Two “Sum” ports combine the outputs of both the VCAs. Finally, the audio signal can be input through the strip of input jacks at the top, which has 3 ports for each VCA and dedicated faders to adjust the signal level. - Envelop Generator/Voltage Controlled Oscillator
The 540 is a dual module that offers two Envelop Generators (EG) and a Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO). The “Ext” port can be used for inputting a gate signal from an external device, which can, in turn, toggle the EG on or off. Next, you’ll find a row of output jacks, two of which offer positive waveforms, while a third outputs a negative one. By pressing the “Manual” button, the envelope cycle can be turned on and off. Here you’ll also find separated faders for the “Attack,” “Decay,” “Sustain,” and “Release.” Each fader is marked between 0 and 10. The envelope speed can be set to fast or slow with the F/S switch. The Gate has two settings. The “Ext” setting allows the user to trigger it manually or through an external device, while the “Cycl” setting selects the self-cycling mode. The frequency of the LFO can be set through the “Freq” knob, while the “Delay” knob controls how soon/late the LFO reacts when an audio signal is fed through. Here you can also set the frequency range of the LFO out of the low, medium, and high options. In addition, the LFO waveform can be reset through the “KYBD Trig” switch, and a similar “Delay Trig” button resets the LFO’s delay. Finally, you get output jacks to select different waveforms. - Effects
Finally, the last module, labeled “570,” is divided into four sections. The “Gate Delay” section has knobs to control the “Threshold,” “Delay Time,” and “Gate Time.” The threshold control sets the voltage level, while the gate time determines the release time or length of the Gate. The section has its input and output jacks. The LFO section has the main knob to adjust the frequency and a pair of outputs where one offers a triangle waveform while the other inverts it. The delay section is very comprehensive and offers knobs to control the modulation of the delay, the delay time, the resonance, and the mix or the ratio between the delayed and original signal. The phase section is also laid out like the previous section and has controls for modulation, shift frequency, resonance, and mix.
Pros:
The Roland SYSTEM-500 is a unit packed with five comprehensive modules with dual capabilities. The features in each section give you total control of your sound as you get a barrage of buttons, knobs, and switches to get to where you need to be. The build quality is sturdy, and the wooden sides and handle lid give it a premium feel and add to the unit’s ease of use.
Cons:
The controls are so jampacked and close to each other that the interface may initially seem confusing. Unfortunately, the clutter also eliminates any extra room for helpful/descriptive text, and you’re sure to inadvertently cause a change in the nearby parameters when you make adjustments.
2. Moog Model 10
Introduced by Dr. Robert Moog in the 1970s, the Moog Model 10 is built to impress.
Packed with more than ten analog modules, the Moog Model is built like a tank thanks to its rugged wooden exterior and easy-grip handle that makes it easy to carry and take with you while touring around the world.
The ancestor of the Moog Model 15, the Model 10 is equipped with the perfect blend of vintage-style modules, classic sounds, and modern ingenuity. Known for its depth, detail, innovative circuitry, and timbral capabilities, the Mood Model 10 will not let you down.
Key Features:
- Fixed Filter Bank
The Moog Model 10 features a Fixed Filter Bank similar to the one found on the Behringer System 55. In addition, the interface has 8 frequency knobs starting from 250Hz to 2800Hz, each of which offers a range of 0 to 10. You’ll also find dedicated knobs for “Low Pass” and “High Pass” filtering and a single input and output. - Random Signal Generator & Voltage Controlled Low Pass Filter
Next to the Filter Bank is the Random Signal Generator, capable of producing white and pink noise through paired outputs. The Voltage Controlled Low Pass Filter has a “Fixed Control Voltage” knob which is used in combination with the three-way “Frequency Range” switch. Here you can set the cutoff frequency from low, mid, and high-frequency ranges. Finally, the “Regeneration” knob is used for resonance adjustments and ranges from 0 to 10. controls the resonance. The section has a “Sig” input/output and three summed output ports. - Envelope Generator
The Moog Model 10 has two Envelope Generators on board. The layout is user-friendly, as there are dedicated knobs for attack, decay, release, and sustain. While the sustain knob has values ranging from 0 to 10, the other three attenuators are time-based and offer a range of 2 milliseconds to 10 seconds. - Voltage Controlled Amplifier
The Voltage Controlled Amplifier offers two modes, including linear and exponential. The only other control you find on the interface is a “Fixed Control Voltage” knob ranging from 0 – 6, which controls values based on the selected mode. The module has three controlled inputs, two signal inputs, and a pair of signal outputs. - Voltage Controlled Oscillator
The Voltage Controlled Oscillator section has attenuators and corresponding outputs to shape sine, sawtooth, pulse, and triangular waveforms. However, interestingly you’ll find four fixed and four variable level outputs for each wave shape. You can also control parameters like the pulse wave’s width, frequency range, and fixed voltage through dedicated controls on the interface. - Oscillators & Oscillator Controller
The Moog Model 10 also has a pair of Oscillators with identical controls. The layout includes 4 waveform shape options in the form of pulse, triangular, sawtooth, and sine. On the control side, the module has a knob to set the frequency range and a similar knob to select the corner frequencies. Next to the Oscillators is the Oscillator Controller with a fixed control voltage section to manually control the voltage and a dedicated pulse to adjust the width of the pulse waveform. The module also has 3 controlled inputs that can be used simultaneously. - Mixer
The Moog Model 10 has a four-channel mixer with 4 input jacks and 4 attenuators. Also on the module is a master gain knob and a pair of negative and positive outputs. Furthermore, you’ll also find a cluster of 4 output ports in the “Multiples” section.
Pros:
The Moog Model 10 combines several very useful modules to tickle the fancy of many a Modular Synth junkie. The modular synth seems a bit daunting to understand and may take some time to get used to, but once you’re familiar with the controls, you’ll come up with patterns, drones, and beats in no time.
Cons:
The Moog Model 10 comes with a jaw-droppingly hefty price tag which will make you want to look around for other options that seem to offer similar features without denting those savings. Perhaps something like the Behringer System 55 could be worth checking out, as it has a similar layout and comes at a fraction of the price.
3. Doepfer A-100BS2-P9 PSU3
The Doepfer A-100BS2-P9 PSU3 is inspired by the larger modular systems found in the 1970s.
The A-100 series from Doepfer offers a multitude of modules that can’t be put together in the A-100BS2-P9 PSU3 unit’s spacious chassis. So you can get creative to build the perfect modular synth for your setup.
The unit measures 18.3 x 19.1 x 9.2 inches and has a lid with a convenient handle that adds to its portability. The base has 4 rubber feet and comes with 30 patch cables differently colored for ease of use.
Key Features:

The RM is split into two identical halves, allowing separate X and Y inputs to output a multiplied X*Y signal. In essence, the output signal combines the sum and difference of the input signals. Next to the modulator is the audio divider. The AD is typically used with the rectangle waveform coming from a VCO and has a simple layout with knobs for controlling the original signal and 4-octave knobs (F/2, F/4, F/8, F/16) ranging from 1 to 10kHz. - VC Waveform Processor (WP) & Mixer
The Waveform Processor has an “Audio In” jack with a dedicated level knob. You can also control the intensity of clipping by adjusting the “Clipping Level.” The Clipping and Symmetry jacks are also paired with dedicated knob controls. The WP amplifies the unclipped and clipped signals in an asymmetrical arrangement. Finally, the layout has a knob to control this symmetry and an “Audio Out” port. The Doepfer A-100BS2 has two 4-channel mixers on board. The A-138 “a” variation handles CV signals and has linear adjustment controls, whereas the A-138 “b” version is more suited for audio signals and uses logarithmic knobs. Both come with an easy-to-use control layout with 4 input jacks, a single output jack, and level controls ranging from 1 to 10kHz. - Voltage Control Filter (VCF) & XP VCF/Filter Pool
The voltage control filter offers three CV inputs for frequency filtering along with “Audio In” and “Audio Out” jacks. On the control side of things, there are dedicated adjustment knobs for frequency, level, and resonance. The layout also includes separate knobs to control the levels of the CV2 and CV3 inputs. The XP VCF/Filter Pool section is modeled after the Oberheim Xpander circuitry. The Xpander filter has 4 inputs (Audio in, FCV1, FCV2, CVQ) and 8 outputs, each of which has different filtering options. While there are 8 filters available for use at a time, a toggle switch can enable 8 more so you can further experiment with your sound. The CVQ and FCV2 both have separate attenuators. Other knobs help control the master level, frequency adjustment, and Q value. - A-131 & A-130 VCAs
The Doepfer A-100BS2 also includes a couple of Voltage Control Amplifiers with similar layouts. However, the A-130 is a linear VCA, while the A-131 has a logarithmic approach. Both VCAs have a couple of CV inputs, 2 audio inputs, and an audio output. Here you can control the gain with the master knob ranging from 1 to 10kHz. With the exception of the CV1 input, all other inputs and output jacks get their attenuators. - A190-4 USB/Midi-CV/Gate/Sync Interface
The A190-4 interface has 2 12-bit CV outputs, Midi in and Midi Thru ports, and a USB port. In addition, the section also has Gate, Reset and Clock outputs. All parameters related to the ports are controlled through the 4 LED buttons present on the interface. - A-118 Random Noise Generator & A148

The interface has an input for “White” noise and one for “Colored,” which can be controlled further with the “Blue” and “Red” adjustment knobs. The section also has a “Random Output” with “Rate” and “Level” controls. In addition, the A148 has sample + hold and track + hold capabilities which can be combined with other modulation effects to create staircase-type voltage impressions. Split into two identical sections, the A148 unit has a couple of “Trigger” and “Sample” inputs and a “Sample & Hold output.” - A-145 LFO
The Doepfer A-100BS2 has an oscillator that offers 5 different waveform patterns, including triangle, sine, rectangle, and a rise/fall sawtooth variation that has twice the frequency compared to the other outputs. Other controls include a “Frequency” adjustment control and a “Frequency Range” switch to select low, medium, and high settings. - Clock Divider/Clock Sequencer & Multiples
The A160 clock divider divides the Gate, clock, and trigger signal frequencies. The interface includes a trigger input, a reset input that brings all the outputs down to zero, and 6 outputs that divide the frequencies by multiples of 2. The clock sequencer looks exactly like the clock divider section but has 8 single-step outputs. The sequencer is ideally used with an ADSR A140 or AR generator A170. Next to it is the A180-1 multiples section with 8 3.5mm jacks. - A170 Slew Limiter & A140 ADSR
The A170 represents two separate slew limiters. The first one has a single “Time” knob ranging from 1 to 10 seconds to control time values, while the second limiter has separate knobs for the rise and fall of time. You’ll also find a switch that can select the time range between high, medium, and low settings. Both limiters come with an input and output jack. The Doepfer A-100BS2 also features two comprehensive ADSR Envelop Generators with dedicated knobs for Attack, Delay, Sustain, and Release. Like the limiter, the A140 ADSR has a time range switch to toggle between different intensities. In addition, the section has a “Gate” input, a “Retrigger” input, and three outputs, one of which is an “Inverse” output.

The 961 Interface’s sole purpose is to convert V-trigs to S-trigs for enhanced compatibility with external Eurorack modules or other Behringer devices. On the panel, there are two sets of 12 V-trig inputs with “Switch-On Time” knobs that help set the duration of triggering. The Sequential Switch can convert 8-step sequences to 16 or even 24 steps through its simple operation. The unit has three inputs to enter feed audio signals and two output ports that can be linked to a filter, oscillator, etc. The device has three of its sequence patterns. If you’re looking for a module to connect your DAW or midi controller to a module, the CM1A is just what you need. The converter has a USB-Midi port, a Midi in, and a Midi Thru port. A switch on board can combine the V-trig and S-trig options or isolate them for a different selection.
Pros:
The Behringer System 55 Complete Eurorack Modular Synthesizer offers many different modules to cater to the needs of Modular Synth users worldwide. While the device is complex, it is equally exciting to decipher and experiment with. In addition, the System 55’s ability to expand adds to its flexibility and ease of usage.
Cons:
Contrary to most devices with the Behringer logo on them, the System 55 Complete Eurorack Modular Synthesizer is on the expensive side. As a result, you’ll think twice before investing so heavily in a unit that has cheaper alternatives in the market.
6. Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator Modular 400
The Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator Modular 400 is perhaps the most unique-looking device on the list.
The Modular 400 is a breath of fresh air compared to the more complicated-looking modular synths. Everything seems easy to comprehend, and its unique design and build will make it somewhat of a conversation piece.
Judging by its diminutive appearance, you may mistake it for a device that isn’t capable of doing too much. However, diving deep into the features of the Modular 400 will surprise you quite a bit. The modular synth can deliver some interesting sounds thanks to its components.
Key Features:
- Square, Saw & Sine
All three oscillators have the same layout. Firstly, the interface has three outputs that can all be used at the same time. The waveform’s pitch can be controlled through the control and key inputs. The left “Level” knob can help control the amount of modulation on the waveform. The “PWM” of pulse width modulation input can change the shape of a waveform by altering the ratio between different voltages. The right “Level” and “Tune” knobs can control the waveform’s frequency to make it fall within the audible range. - Mixer & Rand
The Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator Modular 400 also possesses a 3-channel mixer. The interface is rather simple, with three inputs that have dedicated level knobs and a single output with a master level knob. The “Rand” section creates a random output based on the input signal fed through. The unit has two identical outputs that can be used at the same time. You’ll also find a clock input with a rate control and level knob dedicated to a separate input. - LFO & ENV
The Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO) has a simple look with a couple of “Square” and “Triangle” outputs. You’ll also find a knob to control the rate of the LFO. The Envelope section has the typical attack, decay, sustain and release knob controls. The unit also has a couple of identical outputs and a trig input on which the enveloping will be applied. - VCA & Noise
The Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) has a couple of outputs for simultaneous use and main and control inputs. The depth of the control input can be adjusted using the “Gain” knob. Finally, the “Level” knob sets the level of the input signal. The Noise module has a couple of “White” and “Saw” outputs. The saw outputs create noise using saw-shaped waveforms. - Filter
The Filter section is designed to do what its name suggests. On the layout, you’ll find three similar outputs, left and right control inputs for setting the cutoff frequencies and the main input. In addition, a couple of level knobs are paired with the control inputs to set the modulation on the cutoff frequencies. Finally, you can adjust parameters like resonance and main frequency cutoff by the aptly named knob controls. - Sequencer & Speaker
The Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator is equipped with a 16-step sequencer. In addition, the module has a tempo adjustment knob for setting the tempo and a clock input to plug in an external device for tempo adjustments. The section also has 4 binary inputs and 3 identical outputs next to the reset jack. The signal direction can also be reversed based on the input patched through the left/right port. Finally, the Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator Modular 400 has a built-in speaker with mono left and right inputs and a stereo input. You’ll also find a master volume control in this section.
Pros:
The Modular 400 unit is very versatile, even though it may look simple in its appearance. You’ll find all the necessary modules like a mixer, a filter, oscillators, envelop section, a VCA, and more. In addition, the 16-step sequencer is nicely laid out, and the overall presentation of the Modular 400 is esthetically pleasing.
Cons:
The Modular 400 does have its downsides. The angle of the frame is a bit annoying to work with. Also, the build quality of the knobs feels very cheap, especially when using the sequencer. Some sections have knobs very close to each other, so you may change the setting around them by mistake. Finally, the Modular 400 is battery-powered only.
7. Endorphin.es Shuttle System
The Endorphin.es Shuttle System is a fun-looking mini modular synth with 5 unique modules built in.
Each module is named after space terminology as the same theme is reflected in its funky interface. Having 5 detailed modules in a single 84hp faceplate unit, the Shuttle System features filters, oscillators, effects controls, auto-tuners, envelopes, and much more.
No wonder this modular synth has grown in popularity ever since its release. The Shuttle System comes in a bright yellow chassis with multicolored knobs/buttons and a more subtle black colored variant with grey and white controls.
Key Features:
- Shuttle Control
Shuttle Control is the section that powers the unit and offers a MID/USB/CV converter. The layout has 16 CV outputs, two regular USB ports to connect to midi devices, and a USB B-type port for connecting directly to a DAW. There are also a couple of rubber buttons that can navigate between different presets. You can customize this section by hooking the device to a computer and using the Endorphin web editor. - Furthrrrr Generator (sound source)
The Furthrrrr Generator is the heart of the Shuttle System. The section has a pair of Oscillators where one modulates the other. The oscillator can dish out some interesting waveforms combined with the wave shaping section. Two master dials can set the frequency of each oscillator. Depending on the frequency set, both oscillators will output different waveforms. Wave shapes include sine, square, saw, white noise, and modulation-based options. In addition, the aforementioned waveshaper section can change the signal’s harmonic content. - Grand Terminal (filter, envelop, effects)
The Grand Terminal has two identical sections that generate different functions, like low-frequency oscillation. Between the two sections are two filter channels, both of which have 8 different modes. You’ll also find controls for different effects like reverbs and delays here. - Gateway (utilities & auto-tuners)
The Gateway section acts as an expander for the Grand Terminal. You’ll find several switches here to toggle different utilities, while there also a couple of auto tuners on board that can automatically and intelligently bring external oscillators in tune with each other. These two sections can also be used as mixers to bring together CV or audio channels. - Cockpit (mixer)
The last module of the Endorphin.es Shuttle System is the Cockpit which is actually a four-channel mixer with four inputs and four level knobs. The knobs are multifunctional and can be pressed to mute each channel. In addition, the LEDs next to each knob brighten as the level is raised and vice versa. Finally, you’ll also find a headphone output with a dedicated volume knob and a sidechain port that can be handy in booting up the system in different modes.
Pros:
The Endorphin.es Shuttle System is very compact and can be easily carried around in your backpack. The devices have exciting modules that offer effective filtering, enveloping capabilities, and detailed reverbs and delays. In addition, there are several wave shapes to play around with, and the Furthrrrr Generator lets you unleash the capabilities of the built-in dual oscillators.
Cons:
Although you may get a kick out of how the device is designed and decorated on a space theme, the folks at the Endorphin.es company haven’t done first-time users any favors. You may have to read the user manual cover to cover to decipher what each control actually does, as there are no helpful texts to explain the features. The Endorphin.es Shuttle System is also very steeply-priced.
Conclusion
A modular synth is as good as the modules used to create it. You now have ample knowledge of top-of-the-line offerings from brands like Roland, Behringer, Moog, Doepfer, Endorphine.es, Teenager Engineer, and Erica Synths. Surely you also know what modules each of these mod-synths offers and the features and capabilities of each component. Another great option to look into is the Nord Modular G2, which isn’t readily available but can be found in the secondhand market online.
You can now step into the world of mod-synths with confidence to explore and experience the different options from today’s post and see which is the right choice to fulfill your requirements. A good approach would be to list all the modules you prefer so you can customize them according to your preference. Good luck.
