Sound designer/composer Richard Devine shared his thoughts yesterday on the eleven best Eurorack synth modules of 2013 on Facebook.

Why a top eleven list and not a top ten list? Maybe because it was an awesome year for modular gear?

Richard Devine’s Best Eurorack Synth Modules For 2013

Intellijel – Shapeshifter

Modcan – Quad LFO

Mutable Instruments – Braids

Macro Machines – Memory Manager (for the Mungo d0/g0)

Audio Damage – Freqshift / Grain Shift

Intellijel – Metropolis sequencer

TipTop – Trigger Riot

Harvestman – Piston Honda MK II

Antimatter Audio – Brain Seed

Livewire – Choas Computer

Malekko Heavy Industry – MegaWave

It’s an interesting list, and it highlights the explosion of creativity that’s happening with new modules.

You can read more thoughts on the ‘best of 2013’ from Devine – along with Justin McGrath, Alessandro Cortini & Surachai – at the Trash Audio site.
