A eurorack synthesizer consists of one or more modules, which are patched together via mono 3.5mm patchcabels (this is the mono version of what the typical headphone plug looks like). The signals deviate between ±10 volts but can be even bigger in some cases. This is why it is not adviced to plug a eurorack signal directly into other audio hardware unless it is e.g. a mixer with enough headroom or a soundinterface which can lower the levels with a input pad.

The awesomeness of modular synthesis is its modularity. With only a few modules patched into each other and into themselves a unpredictable flow of sounds and signals can be created. If one module reavels to be useless it can be usually sold without much loss and replaced with another. There are modules which can emulate much more expensive analogue drum machine for you (A Roland 808 could be emulated with the modules from Tiptop Audio for [example](http://www.schneidersladen.de/de/tiptop-audio-bd808.html)), there are modules which help you control the modular synthesizer from your Laptop (like the [ES-3 by Expert Sleepers](http://www.schneidersladen.de/de/expert-sleepers-es-3-mk4.html)) or the other way around. There is are setups that is meant to be triggered and controlled live like with a keyboard, a ribbon or theremin controller, and there are setups that basically play automatically for ever envolving sequences, with no human guidance needed.
