The legendary Doepfer A-100 - the system that helped launch the modern Eurorack movement.
First introduced by Doepfer in 1995, the A-100 made modular synthesis more compact, affordable and endlessly expandable, opening the door for the explosion of Eurorack culture we know today. From experimental electronic artists to film composers and techno producers, its influence can be heard across decades of modern music production.
