Our UNCPROP FamilyTool makes use of the genius DFAM, Mother-32, or any other semi-modular synthesizer and aims to make them even greater. The FamilyTool consists of a unique MULT-OR-SWITCH module and a powered 20hp black extruded aluminum case with wooden end cheeks – the UNCPROP case. The FamilyTool combo is exclusive to this Kickstarter campaign – it will not be sold as a unit afterwards!

It will ship ready to play starting approximately July 2019. And here’s what it does:

1. MULT-OR-SWITCH Module

6 A/B switches for up to six switchable routings

2 of which are OR-logic mixers

No external power source needed*

Passive MULT (1:4 or 2x1:2)

Patching fun with 24 I/Os



2. powered UNCPROP Case Fits eurorack modules up to 20hp and 35mm depth (e.g. Clouds and MATHS )

and ) Perfectly fits DFAM/Mother-32 and



Is a great addition to any other semi-modular synth

For heavy users & beginners

internal PSU



works as a 20hp standalone eurorack case/effects unit



Handcrafted wooden panels (walnut)

Case and module are now also available separately – we have added these two new rewards to the campaign. The MULT-OR-SWITCH module operates passively. To power other eurorack modules, we have implemented an internal PSU (Power Supply Unit) for all backers.

The FamilyTool will be assembled by hand in Munich, Germany. We are Uncertain Proportions and now we’re building uncertain props – UNCPROPS. We’ve been building, modding and –most importantly– playing all sorts of synths for over ten years now. There’s a deep fascination for these delicate and monstrous machines that captured us right from the start. Besides jamming in our studio we compose music for performing arts, play live and host soldering workshops. Our professional background besides musical education includes communication design, architecture and conceptual design – with the FamilyTool we want to give a useful piece of gear to a community that has presented us with nothing but love and support from day one. We’re proud to be part of the modular world and hope you fancy our addition to it.



Mounting of working prototype

Millions of possibilities – new sounds. We want you to benefit from the eurorack system without the necessity to start a whole rack. Within minutes you’ll now be able to massively extend the functionality of two of the best synthesizers ever built (or really any other semi-modular synth).

Working prototype attaching to DFAM

The FamilyTool includes a 20hp extruded black anodized aluminium body to fit the eurorack standard. With its two wooden side panels the UNCPROP case attaches perfectly to your DFAM and Mother-32 synthesizers or stands boldly next to any other semi-modular synth, extending them in space and functionality. With its built-in PSU you can power up to 3 eurorack modules within the 20hp space.

The lightweight UNCPROP case can be fixed with a couple of screws on either side or in-between two DFAM/Mother-32. The slightly adjusted shape of our UNCPROP case provides space for any eurorack module up to 35mm in depth.

The PSU is powered by the DFAM / Mother-32 internally or by a separate DC plug*

Live gig or jam session – now better than ever. Our FamilyTool module itself combines the best tools available for a passive prop.

The MULT-OR-SWITCH module offers:

6 A/B switches including two OR-mixers

Passive MULT

Double, triple or quadruple your inputs - millionize your creative output

Attenuated switching between two sources to one dedicated out – or vice versa



Up to six switchable routings allow to prepare multiple patches at the same time

Switch modulation destinations and sound sources immediately - whenever wanted

Control the amount of your sources or mute them instantly

Functionality of the Switches & OR-Logic Mixers

Two of the six A/B switches offer a passive OR-logic mixer that gives you control of the rectified sum of the A and B input – or just one of them. The new type of sounds you can come up with and the versatility you gain by switching between them give you more control – especially cool when playing live!

Mult on working prototype

On the left side of the module you’ll find a passive MULT which allows you to multiply a signal four times or to duplicate two individual inputs.

The intuitive and functional design provides instant access to all parameters quickly.

Welcome to the family!
