A Modular Mashup for Any Performance
If there’s one thing you should know about Modbap Modular, it’s their unrivaled dedication to bridging the not-so-different worlds of modular synthesis and beat-making.

Whether you’re a synthesist looking to dabble in DJ-adjacent performance, or a beat-maker curious about modular synthesis, the Per4mer Mini-System has you covered. Built around its namesake module, the multi-FX module provides a litany of transformative audio-texturizing tools, including glitch, delay, reverb, and tape stop, with each function boasting its own effects and numerous control configurations. This is accompanied by the Transit 2-channel Stereo Mixer, a fully-analog, dual-mono mixer, capable of compression, routing, and volume management functions that work anywhere in the chain.

Per4mer: DJ-minded FX for eurorack
Modbap Modular was determined to create a module that transplants the classic FX tools used by DJs for decades into the Eurorack environment, without sacrificing the innovative spirit of live performance. Sweetwater’s synthesists are happy to report that they have exceeded their goal with the 14HP Per4mer module. You’ll have direct CV/Gate-controlled access to multiple performance FX, including delay, reverb, glitch, and tape stop, in addition to two processing effects, injecting your sound with the kind of flavor normally reserved for DJs and beatmakers. Each effect can be triggered individually, simultaneously, latched, momentary, CV/Gate controlled, or manually modified, all on the fly, creating a palette of endless opportunity to flex in the studio, onstage, and all points in between.
Transit: true stereo 2-channel routing
So much more than just a mixer, this 6HP module rom Modbap Modular is brimming with possibility. Designed with an all-analog signal path, the dual-mono stereo lanes have dedicated gain control, mute functionality, and ducking inputs. Each mute button houses a digitally-controlled LED, lighting up in white, pink, and red, when muted. Ducking can be used for modular sidechain compression via input signals, CV values, or a trigger input, such as LFO or Clock controls. Gain reduction is set with the respective control knobs, allowing for complex patch control that’s easily adjusted on the fly. In addition to the stereo outputs, you get a dedicated 3.5mm headphone output, featuring its own level control to complement the master level knob up top. Whether you’re pairing it with Modbap’s Per4mer, or integrating it into a larger system, Sweetwater’s synthesists and beatmaker’s agree: the Transit module is a must-have for taking your work into a new lane.
