We are excited to share our winter fundraising raffle featuring a custom-built Eurorack modular synthesizer valued at $24,000. The system, which includes 50 modules and 11 controllers, all donated from 52 manufacturers, is housed in a handcrafted 15U (126 hp) walnut cabinet created by Asheville wood craftsman Chris Perryman of Gold Splinter.
An interactive layout of the complete system can be viewed at: https://modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/2685332
Raffle Details
The raffle begins Monday, December 1, 2025, at 7:00 am (EST) and ends Friday, December 19, 2025 at 11:59 pm (EST).
The raffle is open internationally.
Tickets are $25 each, 5 for $100, 12 for $200, and 35 for $500.
The raffle winner will be announced on Tuesday, December 23rd.
Paypal is not a payment option due to Paypal's own regulations about raffles. They do not allow raffle ticket purchases to be processed through their payment portal. This is their regulations, not ours. Our secure payment portal accepts credit cards.
In addition to the modular system, the first-place winner will receive a signed copy of the Bjooks publication, Push, Turn, Move by Kim Bjørn. Chris Meyer, who curated and assembled the system, will also grant the winner free access to his Learning Modular online courses, and Luigi’s Modular Supply is providing the patch cables for the system.
“The theme for this year’s system is: ‘What would Bob do?’” explains Meyer. “His interest in expressive controllers, from theremins to percussion and ribbon interfaces, inspired a system designed for rich, multi-voice performance and deep creative exploration.”
The raffle features a second-place prize, an Expressive E Osmose MPE synthesizer valued at $1,799, and a third-place prize, an Expressive E Noisy 2 software synthesizer valued at $149.
“We are excited to offer this one-of-a-kind Eurorack system, which celebrates Bob’s legacy of innovation while supporting our work through Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, the Bob Moog Foundation Archives, and the Moogseum,” said Michelle Moog-Koussa, Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation. “We are grateful to the international community of manufacturers who donated modules and components to help create a system that reflects Bob’s lifelong commitment to advancing expressive synthesis.”
