Beijing Modular 26, the third international edition of the Eurorack-focused event, took place October 22–24, 2026 in Beijing, China. The multi-day event expanded beyond earlier editions to include performances, masterclasses, an expo, workshops, and immersive audio installations across three days, organized by Tami X and Alex.
Sonic State provided extensive on-site coverage: a pre-show walkabout of the Modular Commune 2026 venue covering performance spaces, expo areas, workshops, and immersive audio setup; a Friday walkabout as the venue moved from setup into performances with focus on The Cube (large atrium areas, exhibition halls, video walls, projection installations, multiple performance spaces, ambient room, techno room); rig tours including Glenn Keteleer (Linear Straight / Radical G*) with his compact ambient rig built around SOMA Pipe, Warp, Torso S-4, and SOMA Cosmos (noting Warp’s new firmware enabling 24 kHz sample rate for more CPU headroom); and a live modular system demo by Mandy (Jungle of Wires) showcasing a compact system for ambient, techno, and Dolby Atmos performances.
The event represents the growing Eurorack community in Asia and the increasing scale of modular-focused gatherings worldwide. The Cube venue’s layout with multiple dedicated rooms for different musical styles (ambient, techno, etc.) and immersive audio installations reflects the maturation of modular synthesis from niche hobby to multi-faceted performance practice.
All coverage was filmed by Sonic State (Nick) and published via their YouTube channel during the event week. The event follows previous Beijing Modular editions and similar gatherings like Superbooth, Knobcon, and SynthFest UK in providing physical community space for modular synthesists.
