Modular Synthesizer
Moog Size Module just released at Corsynth (5HE) – it has a Ring Modulator built in and a soft cliping (via diode) along with hard sync. the tuning is freely adjustable – (octave switch would be the other version of how to do it). it’s 245€ – the special thing here is the ringmodulator built into the VCO.

Read Morethe Delptronics Trigger Sequencer is a very small sequencer that is accessible via one set of knobs and a row of LEDs, quite clever for small systems.. but note – it’s a trigger sequencer, not made for melodies. Forum:Delptronics Trigger Sequencer

Read MoreCYLONIX CYCLEBOX is a digital Oscillator but is is able to generate a large (huuuge!!) frequency range which sounds like it might be good at FM and everything that is modulated at higher speed (audio, possibly beyond?) , it also has Sync to offer and a lot of waveforms compared to „standard“ analog oscillators. these shapes look interesting: Random pulses, truncated sawtooth, bipolar pulse, mirrored bipolar pulse, resonant sweep, mirrored resonant sweep, vowels, mirrored vowels there are nonlinear waveforms (however – don’t know how they are made /of ..) that „Mega“…
Read Morethis seems special and made for Xmas.. CLUB OF THE KNOBS – ANALOG MODULAR SYNTHESIZER. the 5HE module generates Euclidean Sequences that seem to have their own timing/clock – 4 tracks / channels… worth a closer look when there’s more to read and listen and hopefully to watch.. btw: have you seen that vocoder-kind of thing called the audio spectral modulator? so, COTK (club of the knobs) are going to be one of the more interesting manufacturers for innovative module concepts for moog sized modules.. there are not too many of…
Read Morethis is the new 12dB/Oct state variable filter – therefore it has all filter modes except the notch type. the mix outputs are CV-controllable, and that illuminated something arount the cutoff is not just photoshopped, it’s illuminated. also there is an overdrive to get very saturated sound. will be at 259€ it’s brother is the FT201 – both are vactrol-filters which are not too fast but they simple sound good. the Malekko Borg Filters also got vactrols in it. A youtube demo of the SVF-201 by KOMA artist…
