Music Thing Modular – Turing Machine Mkii Full DIY Kit
This kit includes everything you need to build the Mkii version of the Turing Machine. You just need to provide the tools and solder. Comes with 1ohp Aluminium Eurorack panel.
Since it was launched in June 2012, the Turing Machine has become one of the most popular Eurorack DIY projects. It is a random looping sequencer that spits out basslines and melodies. It generates strings of random voltages that can be locked into looping sequences. These sequences can be allowed to slip, changing gradually over time. This module was inspired by the long history of shift register pseudorandom synth circuits, including the Triadex Muse, Buchla 266 Source of Uncertainly and Grant Richter’s Noisering.
The 2016 revised Turing Machine has many improvements:
- Rotary loop length switch
- Pulse out
- Two boards, includes Backpack circuit to drive expanders (compatible with old Music Thing expanders)
- Easier to build: a larger PCB in the same width, clock and noise circuits are more robust
- Noise level trimmer & reduced voltage in noise circuit to make circuit more robust with different noise transistors
- Compatible with existing expanders (Pulses, Voltages, Vactrol Mix) but not the BYTES expander.

Music Thing Modular – Radio Music Full DIY Kit
V2.1 PCB set, one minor fix – some users had found the switch a little tight to fit.
This is a full kit which includes every single component to build a Radio Music module right down to the Teensy microprocessor board, the knobs, rack screws and power cable.
NOTE – you need to purchase a MicroSD card and a Micro-B USB Cable elsewhere to set up this module. The Micro-B cables are the smallest type shipped with Kindles and many Android phones. You also need a card reader to write files to the SD card, many laptops and desktops already have them built in now. – Read the setup and build documentation here.
The very cheap $2 MicroSD cards are not worth the trouble they will cause you, buy genuine SanDisk or Kingston branded MicroSD cards from Amazon or elsewhere. 32Gb maximum… that’s 108 hours of lossless audio in 16bit 44.1khz. Total file limit per card is 1200 files.

Mutable Instruments – Ears
We don’t normally stock non DIY products at Thonk, but when Olivier offered us a worldwide exclusive on the first batch of his new Ears module… how could we refuse?!
This module brings together two of the most (if not the most..) prolific and creative designers in the open source Eurorack scene, Mutable Instruments and Music Thing Modular.
Ears is Mutable’s take on Tom Whitwell’s Mikrophonie module, Ears is a perfect match for physical synthesis modules like Rings or Elements, but it can also be the gateway between external audio sources and your modular system.
- 4hp
- 5mA draw on both the +12v and +12V supply rails

Befaco ‘BF-22 Dual Sallen VCF’– Full DIY Kit
PLEASE NOTE, THE DIY VERSION OF THIS FILTER COMES WITH A BLACK PANEL ONLY
This is a dual Hi/Low pass filter. Inspired by the famous sallen key filter from original Korg MS-20. All SMD parts are pre-soldered to the PCB, no SMD soldering is required!
It has attenuverters (inverter-attenuator) as an addition to the normal CV control in Cut-Off and CV control for the resonance with a little more presence of the resonance than the original. The normal CV control for Cut-Off keeps tracking trough 3 octaves.
The ‘Link’ switch connects the input of the second into the output of the first to have it in series
Specs:
- Eurorack Compatible
- Can be powered with +/-12V or +/-15V without changes.
- Current needs: +12V: 40mA -12V: 35mA
- Banana or minijack connectors available
- Selectable HP/LP mode 6/12 dB
- Cutoff and resonance CV controlled.
- 17 HP / 47 mm depth
DISCLAIMER: This filter brings to your modular system the character and characteristics of early MS-20 sound: Kick-ass-rocking-dirty screams!. It inherited not only it’s amazing sound, also MS-20 noise floor. If noise floor is an issue for you, this might not be your filter.

Befaco ‘Output Module II”– Full DIY Kit
Output module II is designed to be the master out of your synth. All SMD parts are pre-soldered to the PCB, no SMD soldering is required
It is capable of stereo or mono operation and converts the synth level signal to pro line level (+4dBu) and the 3,5 jack (L-R) to 1/4 TRS jack for proper connection to the outside world.
Equipped with an Headphone amplifier and a 6dB/oct High pass filter (fixed on 60Hz) to avoid “Pops” and undesired noises when you connect your modular directly to a P.A.
A switch send L IN into both L+R outs. This setting is useful when you connect the synth to a DJ mixer without mono INs.
Last but not least, it features two reversible jack adapters from 6,5 to 3,5 mm jack or from 6,5mm jack to banana (depending of the model you choose,banana or minijack)
Specs:
- Current needs: +12V: 24mA -12V: 14mA

Befaco ‘Sampling Modulator’– Full DIY Kit
Sampling Modulator is a multi-function module. Something between a VCO a Sample & Hold and a 8 step trigger sequencer
It can work as:
–Sequencer clocked Sample and Hold. In this mode it is like a regular sample and hold, but since it is “sequencer clocked” make more interesting patterns than the usual S&H melodies because they can have more repetition.
The clock In, can work in two ways: Clock and Sync. Clock is just a typical clock and Sync is a “positive going Hard sync” so you can create shuffling and poly-rhythmic Fx with it.
also the hold In is useful to keep some notes on.
-Analog down sampling effect. In that mode (with the clock running at audio rates) you can go from nasty and harsh Sampling rate reduction to almost clean signal. (the clock run up to 25Khz without external CV and up to 200Khz with CV on the input)
–Sampling Modulator. (or maybe is better to call it sampling shaper)
Due to the V/oct clock, you can feed the IN with a simple wave shape like a sine, and later send pitch CV to that VCO and to the Sampling modulator CV In, so the two frequencies are related to each other and the aliasing created by the sampling rate reduction is also related to that frequency creating lots of clangorous metallic sound, 8 bit textures and much more. The game became much more interesting when you begging to destroy the wave turning on and off the switches of the sequencer. (sometimes it sound like tree VCOs the same time…)
To understand this mode keep in mind it have a temperature compensated ramp core VCO with more than 4 octaves tracking, so the timbre keep the same when you move trough different notes because the internal and external VCOs are moving same way in something like a “frequency related sampling rate modulation”
-8 step trigger sequencer. Just a regular utility trig generator, useful also as clock divider. The switches have tree position. On, Off and Reset (reset to the first step for non 4/4 signatures)
-Unusual V/oct VCO. You can use the trigger outs like a pulse VCO but when you switch on and off the switches timbre changes a lot
A surprising Swiss knife in just 8HP

ModSeq Full DIY Kit
This is a full DIY kit which contains everything you need to build the module right down to the power cable and rack screws. You provide the time, tools & solder.
The modseq is a low cost, low hp, 8 step auxiliary sequencer. as the name implies its primary duty is for modulation, however it will function perfectly well as a note sequencer. Since the modseq has only 4 knobs but 8 steps, steps 5-8 share the knobs of steps 1-4 but in a mirrored fashion. the result of this is somewhat akin to a sample and hold circuit but programmable rather than random.

Music Thing AxoControl / Axoloti Full DIY Kit
A full kit containing all parts to build the unit shown in photographs. The Axoloti core board can be provided optionally. You just need to provide the tools, solder, computer and USB power supply! (An iphone/android USB charger works great)
Tom Whitwell from Music Thing Modular writes:
Axoloti is a very nice €65 audio board from Belgium, the closest thing I’ve yet seen to an Audio Arduino; lots of easy analog ins and outs for pots and switches, enough power to do interesting audio, and a nice visual patching system. A bit like a Nord Modular for 2016.
I’ve put together a simple control surface for my Axoloti; pots, buttons, LEDs and a joystick.
The BOM and PCB files (with a link to OSHPark to buy the PCBs direct) is here on Github: Axoloti Control Board.
It is all CC-BY-SA licensed so feel free to make and sell boards, so long as you credit me (Tom Whitwell / Music Thing Modular) and share any changes/improvements you make to the design.
Here’s a demo video showing a little Echophon/pitch shift patch – it can also happily play the .raw files from the Music Thing SD card.
