abstract = {Eurorack is a popular format of modular synthesizers that allow users to customize their instruments by swapping in various modules and creating patches based on their specific needs. While these instruments are very effective at creating a wide range of timbres, the way they in which they are typically performed is not always engaging to an audience or even to the performer. This paper present an initial prototype of Maplet, a module for integrating the libmapper project into the world of Eurorack. libmapper is an open-source project built to support the creation of mappings between components of Digital Musical Instruments. Decades worth of literature has shown how effective mappings are the backbone of the way both performers as well as their audience engage with the output of a digital instrument. With this in mind, we hypothesize that by introducing this mapping-first approach to performing with Eurorack synthesizers that musicians will be empowered to experiment with novel interfaces and techniques for performing with their instrument.},
