thumb|A 9U, 104hp, Eurorack modular synthesizer containing a variety of modulesEurorack is a modular synthesizer format originally specified in 1995 by Doepfer Musikelektronik.

Compact size, 3.5mm mono jacks and cables for patching all signals, and lack of a visual or sonic aesthetic defined by one manufacturer sets Eurorack apart from other modular synthesizer formats, and these factors have contributed to the popularity of Eurorack among both manufacturers and musicians.
