The Unperson’s 40HP Mono Modular: A Rave Bunker in a Lunchbox

Ever wondered if a 40HP Eurorack can punch above its weight? The Unperson is back with a mini modular rig that’s all killer, no filler. We’re talking Pamela’s Pro Workout, the Loki analog voice, and the Z5000 effects box—crammed together like a toaster-fight in a phone booth. This isn’t your average monosynth: it’s a street weapon for those who want chaos, modulation, and more FX than sense. Dive in for synth jam chaos, clever patching, and a proper dose of British modular mischief. Spoiler: It’s not cheap, but it slaps.

The Unperson’s OP-1 vs Modular FX: Turning a Cult Classic into a Sonic Street Weapon

The Unperson is back in the rave bunker, this time dragging the Teenage Engineering OP-1 into a modular FX cage match. Love it or loathe it, the OP-1 is still a cult favourite, but let’s be honest: it’s got some gaping holes, especially if you crave stereo and proper effects. Instead of moaning, The Unperson wires up a Eurorack FX rack and shows how to make this plastic legend punch way above its weight. If you’re into glitchy textures, filthy delays and unpredictable radio sampling, this one’s for you. Don’t expect hand-holding—expect inspiration, chaos, and a few sharp elbows.
