Is the Behringer EURORACK 19-inch Kit with Power Supply a good starting point for modular synthesis?

Yes, if you want to build a hardware modular setup: the Behringer EURORACK 19-inch Kit with Power Supply provides a powered rack, not a complete synthesiser. At the supplied best new price of £66, budget for modules as well.

This kit makes sense if you want to choose your own modules rather than buy a ready-to-play instrument. The important distinction is that a rack and power supply alone will not make sound; modules and patch cables are separate parts of the setup to budget for.

Before buying, check the rack’s usable module space, depth and power capacity against the modules you intend to fit. Those details are not supplied here, so the 19-inch description alone is not enough to confirm compatibility.

If you would rather start with a synthesiser than assemble a system, consider the Behringer Neutron Semi-Modular Synthesizer, listed at £282 new. It is a different starting route, not a like-for-like rack alternative.
