The Bopp & Steve Deconstructed Reverb by This is Not Rocket Science (TiNRS) has been on my radar ever since it was first teased at Superbooth Berlin a few years ago. With its unique approach to reverb and its unconventional interface, it immediately stood out among the sea of more traditional effects modules.
Earlier this year, TiNRS finally unveiled the finished version, and it’s been making waves in the modular community ever since. You may have already come across excellent deep-dives by DivKid and SonicState, both highlighting its creative potential and playful sound design possibilities.But today, a new perspective caught my attention — a fresh video by Dutch modular artist Raaf Modular just popped up in my feed.
He’s relatively new to creating content, but his style feels personal, musical, and refreshingly unpolished in the best way.
It’s always exciting to see these modules in the hands of musicians who approach them from a purely creative angle rather than just technical.
Definitely worth checking out — and while you’re at it, give Raaf Modular a follow on your favorite social platforms. Support your local modular heroes!

Creating lush reverbs and more with Bopp and Steve by TINRS
In this one, I’m focusing on a single module — BOPP and STEVE by This Is Not Rocket Science.
This is not a review. I’m not a reviewer — I’m a musician. (plus a teacher! (red))
So rather than diving into every technical detail, I’m giving you a musical demonstration: how I use this module to patch, play, and make music.
It’s a new direction I’m exploring, and I’m really enjoying it.
I originally started this channel to share my music, but more and more people have been asking how I create it — how I patch, how I build my sounds, and how I work with modular gear.
So this is the first step in sharing more of that side of my process.
Let me know in the comments if this kind of video speaks to you —

I’d love your feedback. Thanks for watching
