Synthesizers

Latvian Erica Synths have partnered up with French company e-licktronic to develop drum modules with a distinctly Japanese flavour.

The Entity PS's 100-percent analogue circuitry is capable of producing a huge range of percussive effects including, but not limited to: snares, claps, toms, rim shots, hats, synth percussions, zaps and blips, bass and lead sounds and even new flavours of kick-drum sounds.

In a move that may appeal to fans of the movie Inception, the 1010music Toolbox takes a modular approach to your modular’s modulation...

Erica’s new Graphic VCO is a digital wavetable oscillator on which you can draw and save your own waveforms and wavetables....

Classic low-pass gates are probably best associated with the Buchla modulars. However, Rabid Elephant decided against the vactrols, aiming to produce something faster, more accurate, durable and natural-sounding.

Plonk uses AAS physical modelling to generate many voices of a typical drum machine, but it’s equally suited to creating strikes and hits with no real-world equivalent...

Formant Filter offers morphing between three different vowel sounds and via parallel band-pass filters, it delivers convincing vocal tones...

Rainmaker consists of a stereo 16-tap spectral delay paired with a 64-tap comb resonator, the latter sporting external triggering options that turn it into a (single-voice) Karplus-Strong synthesizer.

The MÖG Wavefolder doesn’t just modify waveform shape, it squishes, shifts, boosts and distorts — and is equally happy doing the same to control signals.

Every now and again a module appears that slots into a niche you didn’t realise existed, but once it’s there you start to see all kinds of new possibilities...

Bored with plain old Sample & Hold? We check out the updated Turing Machine MkII along with the new Pulses and Volts expanders.

The quadroPOL works as a VC mixer or quad VCA, with the ring modulation and the polarising qualities adding something extra...

The TZ-VCO is 100 percent analogue, and unusual in several respects...

Radikal Technologies, best known for the Spectralis 2 synth/sampler/sequencer, have entered Eurorack with a distinctive...

For 20 years or so the A110 has been the company's basic voltage-controlled oscillator. Aware that there were more possibilities for VCO modules, Doepfer have very helpfully now released three new versions. Here, we take a quick look at the new A110-2.

Future Retro’s Transient is a single-voice drum module based on 16-bit samples nabbed from classic drum machines, all delivered by a 12-bit DAC.

Jove has a modern replacement for the now-obsolete OTA (IR3109) used in the original Jupiter 6 and it has been given voltage control of resonance along with an extra two-pole low-pass mode...

Allegedly inspired by John Cage’s interpretation of the Chinese divination text, I Ching, random voltages are generated by Chance for each digitally-generated coin toss...

There are plenty of reasons to feed MIDI data into your Eurorack; Mono-MIDI offers traditional CV and Gate outs plus arpeggiator...

Another seriously compact offering from Belgium, Logica Gater, is a combined logic and gate module.

Morphagene is Make Noise’s attempt to take creative tape splicing and microsound exploration into the 21st century...
