Sound Modules

Those familiar with my reviews might have sussed by now that, when describing multifunctional modules, I do my level best...

Music Thing’s Workshop System is a modular toolkit that’s designed to inspire.

The latest device to take up the challenge of ‘tape without tape’ is the Stardust, which Qu‑Bit describe as a ‘cosmic tape looper’.

Winter Plankton's DassBrum module does a lot more than mimic a bass drum.

It’s a synth called Synth!

Paul Wiffen takes a trip down memory lane to look at Behringer’s remake of the Wasp from Electronic Dream Plant, his first employer in the synthesizer industry back in 1981. How does it compare to Chris Huggett’s original innovative design?

DivSkip is a four‑channel trigger machine dressed in a dazzling festival of lights.

New from Patching Panda are a pair of 10HP percussion modules, each offering a wide range of traditional sounds, but with some serious experimental potential as well.

The Vector is a digital sequencer with eight parts assignable as quantised mono or chord tracks, or four‑lane drum tracks.

The Mutant Machine is a little like its own miniature modular system for drums...

Can a ‘General MIDI’ Eurorack module have appeal? Sebsongs think so...

The Echo Cinematic can make a weedy melody line sound huge, reanimate percussion lines and weaponise chords in fabulously groovy ways.

The strangely named Detroit Pink 87 is an eight‑track trigger sequencer where you tap in the steps using a key.

If someone asked you to design an uncompromising analogue Eurorack mixer, it would probably look like the Xcelon.

The ADDAC310 Pressure To CV is a Eurorack module that uses your breath as its control source.

The P1 is a beautifully designed, two‑channel pedal interface that’ll bridge the gap between your modular and guitar worlds.

XAOC brings two new Eurorack modules to the table in the form of the Batumi II and Poti II.

Weston Precision Audio’s new module is called the Phase Animated Oscillator, aka the PAO, but just what exactly is a phase animated oscillator?

Veteran Eurorackers Tiptop Audio take on the age‑old problem of polyphonic modular synthesis...

The Algo is an elegant, complex oscillator bank of four sound sources configurable into multiple algorithms of FM timbres, and it’s a beautiful cluster of additive sine waves that are eager to fold and warp.

When is a filter not a filter? When it is the Dåpf (Dual All‑Pass Filter)...
