Frontman

+ Frontman: The visual Eurorack module that halts the scroll and powers your music

Summary

Frontman is a striking Eurorack visual module built to help your music stand out on social media.

Humans are naturally visual creatures—our brains process images faster than text, making compelling visuals crucial to catching attention. Frontman draws viewers in, increasing the likelihood they'll pause scrolling, explore your setup, and actually listen to your music.

Front Panel

The image below is showing the Frontman's front panel.

1. Audio In & Audio Thru
   Connect the 3.5mm Input jack to the Output of an external Audio device (mono or stereo). You can use the Audio thru to pass the signal on to the input of an other audio device (mixing console for example).
