Looking at the want list on your Equipboard, it appears as though you're interested in going down the path of building a eurorack format modular synth.

The first thing you'll need if building a modular is a case and power. There are a lot of options ranging from total DIY, partial DIY, to a variety of cases at a wide range of price points that can come ready to go with power already installed.

The TipTop Audio HEK is a popular starting point for a lot of people. It's relatively inexpensive and comes with everything you need to get started.

Beyond the essentials of a case and power, what you should get depends largely on what you want to do with your system. Are you interested in building a standalone voice, something for effects processing, a system to integrate with your current setup, or something else? Knowing what you want to do is key to suggesting modules you might want to consider.

If you haven't found this article yet, I highly recommend reading Modular Synthesis 101: The Basics. And Muffwiggler is another great resource for modular synths.

Happy to answer any questions you might have.
