== As the basis of the Eurorack format ==
In the late 1970s before [[Eurorack]], there were a few synthesizer systems based on the industrial Eurocard frames:
* [[Elektor Formant]] - 3u or 6u x 7HP, 3.5mm jacks, 31 pin bus, +/-15v
* [[BME PM10]] and [[BME Axiom|Axiom]] - 3u x 8HP, phono/rca jacks, 31 pin bus, +/-15v
* [[Synton 3000]] - 3u x 8HP, 4mm [[connectors|banana jacks]], +/-15v, similar format but constructed more like a modern Eurorack synth.
By the late 1980s, these had all ceased production.
[[Dieter Döpfer]] built some Formant modules before producing his own systems. His polyphonic non-patchable Voice Modular System (VMS) from the early 1980s was a Eurocard based modular synth.<ref>[https://www.soundonsound.com/people/modular-profile-dieter-doepfer Modular Profile: Dieter Doepfer - The Father Of Eurorack] by Paul Nagle, SOS, April 2017</ref><ref>[https://www.matrixsynth.com/2015/03/vintage-doepfer-vms-voice-modular.html Vintage Doepfer VMS - Voice Modular System for Auction], Matrixsynth 27 March 2015</ref>
