Arturia’s mighty V Collection continues to grow and improve.

ASM expand their popular Hydrasynth range with two new options.

Teenage Engineering’s OP‑1 Field is much more than a sequel.

The discovery of a truly new sound — a reality‑shifting sonic experience — is the never‑ending goal of modular. It’s this very drive that constitutes the heart of Qu‑Bit’s Aurora.

Cre8audio’s NiftyKEYZ case might just change your whole approach to modular.

The Majella Implexus is a beautifully made synth with a foot on both coasts.

Tetragrid is described as "the first magnetic board gate sequencer.”

Oberheim are back, and doing what they do best — making massive polysynths with a massive sound.

New synth‑makers PWM met the Devil at a crossroads at midnight. This is the result.

Is the Zen‑powered X the best Juno Roland have ever made?

MiniMod makers AJH Synth have developed and realised two new modules, Tap Tempo VC‑LFO and Dual RVG Random Voltage Event Generator.

Quasar is the first Eurorack module to tackle 3D audio by using a combination of panning, level, frequency content, phase‑shifting and reverberation to fool the listener into thinking sounds are moving around your head in a three‑dimensional space.

Softube take on Roland’s classic SH-101.

The keyboard version of the desktop version of the Quantum, is the Iridium Keyboard even better than the original synth?

Korg lovingly recreate a ’70s synth classic.

This powerful ROMpler aims to be all things to all synthesists.

These powerful self‑contained instruments blend analogue and digital sound generation to devastating effect!

When you mention function generators in Eurorack you tend to start thinking about West Coast synthesis. For those of us...
