Notes: The Entropy Expander is a 3hp Analog Random Voltage Generator that expands upon the features of the Entropy Euroack Module. Available as a Eurorack DIY Kit, PCB and Panel, or Built Module.

The Entropy+Expander packs together some of the most random voltage options in 6hp. It provides a controllable "Glide"(slew) out for the S/T\H, a comparator with a controllable rate("Thrsh") of random gates("Rand Gate") out with an input to compare other waveforms(Comp In, inserting a cable into here breaks the white noise normalization), and high pass filtered white noise resulting in approximate "Blue noise" (+3db/octave) and "Violet noise"(+6db/octave) outs.

The unique part of the circuit is a voltage controlled A/B switch thats normalled to the "Rand Gate" out that's switching between the S/T\H out(left Blue led window)and Infra out(right Red led window), the Glide control also effects the S/T\H coming out of the switch so you can get really random results from the "Entropy Out." Inserting a cable into "Switch CV In" breaks the random gate normalization and lets you toggle between A/B(left S/T\H out and right Infra out, indicated by the led windows) with your own gate or trigger.

There is a jumper on the pcb to select if you want glide on the s/t\h at, Entropy out, or un-slewed operation. There is also a trimmer for setting the amplitude of the incoming signal at "Comp In" which sets the frequency range of random gates. This may have to be adjusted depending on your Entropy version.

The random gate range can also be set up more as a noise oscillator by turning the pcb trim(clockwise) up or it can be set so random gates are extremely slow(trim counter clockwise) with minutes between random gates.

Notes: The Dual VCA is a 2hp 2 channel Analog VCA and Mixer Eurorack Module available as a Eurorack DIY Kit, PCB and Panel, or Built Module.

It is a DC coupled OTA(LM13700) Dual Linear VCA based on the same fabled design of the VnIcursal VCA. The 2 VCAs are summed together so it can be used as a voltage controlled mixer at the "SUM OUT" or all 3 outs can be used separately and simultaneously. 5 volts into the CV in will provide unity gain, anything above 5 volts can clip the input.

Notes: An expander for Zadar, adding one more assignable input for each Zadar channel and manual triggers.

Notes: Warna is a very useful utility module that helps you to manage control voltages in the system. Crammed in just 6 hp, there are five normalled sections: two buffered mults, two inverters, and a summing mixer. Each multiple routes the input signal to separated outputs without loss in voltage. Warna is designed for unity gain - if you apply a specific voltage to any input, it remains the same on the respective outputs. Inverters are hardwired to mults and invert the polarity of the signal applied to them. Both mults are also normalled to the mixer section via inputs. Patching anything to these inputs breaks the normalization.

The top and the bottom section both are buffered 1-in-4 multiples. The input can be inverted with a switch, i.e. its polarity will be changed by 180 degrees. Four inverted copies are then available at the outputs, meaning you can use these two sections as inverter. Bi-polar LEDs display whether the signal is positive or negative: yellow = negative, red = positive. The centre section is a four-input summing stage with amplification factor 1, a so-called unity-gain mixer. The multiples are normalized to the mixer which can be deactivated by patching.

Notes: Poti II expander notable features:

- per-channel input and output attenuation for the SINE and ASSGN outputs
- per-channel shape modulation with switchable destination (wave folding, shape switching, PWM)
- stores settings during a power cycle
- LED indication of the discrepancy between the stored setting and current pot position
- 4HP
- +10/-0mA from Batumi II

Notes: VU meter for eurorack.

BLINKS is a VU meter for eurorack with 24 RGB leds per channel, function is pretty easy, it has 2 inputs, one for each led column (no output).

PATT button changes the led pattern ( 6 patterns to choose ).

SENS button changes the input sensitivity, cycling in 7 steps.

Long pressing the PATT button enters the color scheme selection.

Long pressing SENS button enters the brightness adjustment. Most probably you'll prefer the lowest setting.

The module has a 5v regulator in case you don't have 5v in you eurorack PSU. A jumper in the back select if the led board would be powered by the 5v rail or the internal regulator (which works with the +12v rail)

Up to 3 stereo signals can be connected to a buffered input using the rear headers.

Easy DIY with only a few components, the led board is already assembled.

5v not indispensable
+5v: 30 mA (on lowest brightness)
+12v: 4mA (or ~40mA if 5v rail is not used)

Notes: Channel extender for MIXCONSOLE.

This module extends the MIXCONSOLE module with three additional channels; the channel level can be controlled via CV here, too. If no CV is attached, the level knob works as usual volume control.

Notes: The QUANTIZER takes four different CV inputs and processes them in a way that the CV values "snap" to the exact values so that oscillators controlled by the outputs of the module play the notes of a selected musical scale. With an encoder one of 16 scales can be selected and is displayed in a text display,

There are 4 independent channels that are quantized to the same selected scale.

As an additional feature, the module provides a trigger signal for each channel on every change on the output CV.

Finally, with a switch the scale selection can be "frozen" so there is no accidental change possible.

There are 4 independent channels that are quantized to the same selected scale.

Module power consumption: 15 mA

Inputs
CV 1 - accept CV for channel 1 of the quantizer
CV 2 - accept CV for channel 2 of the quantizer
CV 3 - accept CV for channel 3 of the quantizer
CV 4 - accept CV for channel 4 of the quantizer
Outputs
CV 1 - Quantized CV from channel 1 of the quantizer
CV 2 - Quantized CV from channel 2 of the quantizer
CV 3 - Quantized CV from channel 3 of the quantizer
CV 4 - Quantized CV from channel 4 of the quantizer
TRIG 1 - Gate signal on change of CV from channel 1 of the quantizer
TRIG 2 - Gate signal on change of CV from channel 2 of the quantizer
TRIG 3 - Gate signal on change of CV from channel 3 of the quantizer
TRIG 4 - Gate signal on change of CV from channel 4 of the quantizer
MULT - unbuffered multiple, unconnected from the module's circuitry
B. CV - CV signal from MIDI
Please note:

The notation of the outputs is slightly different on the panel than indicated here. There are two rows of identical outputs, side by side. For each output-trigger there is an activity LED, indicating a change in quantized CV.

Controls
SCALE Knob - selects the current scale. 16 scales are available, the selected scale will be displayed in the small display to the right of this knob
LOCK Switch - prevents accidental changes of the selected scale when activated
OFFSET Knob - Select from up to 12 notes from the well-tempered scale as base-value, depending on the scale selected. All left would be equivalent to a key of C
Please note:

Scale selection directly takes place when the SCALE Knob is turned, clicking it has no specific effect.

Available SCALES, as indicated on the display, are as follows:

Minor (e.g. equivalent to A-B-C-D-E-F-G in ‘A minor’)

Notes: The CVADDER-HQ is a precision adder especially for adding 1V/octave (pitch-controlling) CVs. This makes it possible e.g. to transpose a sequence. Compared to general purpose CV mixers (like POLAMIX), this module does the summing of the CVs very precise (within a few millivolts), so the desired pitch is not affected.

The module offers four CV inputs where three of them are summed, and the CV at the fourth input is subtracted - meaning "transposition downwards".

This module also allows transposing the incoming CV by one or two octaves or a variable offset by buttons.

A separate output provides the voltage of the internal transposition (+1, +2 octaves / free).

If the transposition buttons are not necessary and you prefer to have a dual precision adder, take a look at the 2CVADD-HQ module.

Notes: A dual LFO with different waveforms and triangle-sawtooth blending.
The 2LFO module has two LFO units with different features and generates modulation voltages mostly below the audio range. This module offers

RATE knobs for controlling the frequency
SLOW / FAST switch for two frequency ranges; with FAST the rate can go into the lower audio range
SHAPE knob for the first LFO, blends from rising sawtooth to triangle to falling sawtooth
Triangle / Sawtooth switch for the second LFO; changes the waveform of the output
PULSEWIDTH knob for the second LFO, this sets the pulsewidth of the according output
control LEDs for the output waveforms
PWM input for modulation of the squarewave pulsewidth of the second LFO

Notes: FM synthesis for the AE!

The FMOS is a new digital oscillator that brings FM synthesis to the AE modular! It offers the basic FM synthesis with one oscillator and one modulator, running both with sine waves or triangle waves. The modulation depth and frequency ratio of the modulator can be set with a knob and additionally by CV control. If you want pure sine waves, this is for you too - simply set the modulation level to 0.

The module is based on a simple 8-bit microcontroller and an adapted design of Jan Ostman.

Notes: This module offers a four-quadrant-control for CVs via its joystick.

The module can act either as CV source at its four outputs, or as four-quadrant attenuator for the CV inputs. Beyond this, a mix of the input CVs according to the joystick position is provided separately.

Another feature is a gate output that is controlled by pressing the joystick handle.

The joystick remains in each position - there is no automatic "return to centre".

The JOYSTICK module can operate in two different modes:

Quadrants independent: In this mode, all outputs are zero when the joystick is in centre position
Overlapped: In this mode, each quadrant output fades from full to zero over the whole range to the opposite corner.

Together with a quad VCA / mixer (available soon from tangible waves) you can use the JOYSTICK also for mixing/blending four independent audio sources.

Notes: It takes incoming triggers and repeats them - you can think of it as a delay module for triggers. The delay time and the number of repeats can be set with a knob and additionally be CV controlled. Beyond of static delay, the delays of one input trigger can be accelerated or decelerated, leading to the rhythm of a bouncing ball. In another mode, the probability of the output triggers can be chosen.

Different output modes change the assignment of the delays to the eight outputs; either, all delayed triggers for one input trigger are on one output, or the delays go through the outputs 1...8. By this, complex events can be triggered.

Finally, the acceleration and the gate time can be CV controlled as well.

The module is "polyphonic" in a sense, that consecutive triggers at the input don't stop currently running trigger outputs from a previous trigger, but mixing them all. Together with variable delay times and acceleration, highly complex trigger patterns can appear on each of the eight outputs.

Notes: The 2OSC R2 is a dual 1V/octave oscillator module. Another successor of a classic AE module, the 2OSC/d. The 2OSC is a dual oscillator module, digitally based, with a great feature set:

Oscillator 1:

- Sawtooth
- Multi-Sawtooth, detuned
- Pulse Wave
- Triangle waveform with wavefolder
- Sinewave
- Suboscillator output
- Mix output (primary wave plus suboscillator)


Oscillator 2 , Noise:

This oscillator is focused on square waves; additionally to a pulse width controlled and CV-controllable square wave, it offers also a "synced square wave" (sounds really nasty!) and synced to oscillator 1. A separate suboscillator out is here available too. Additionally, a separate noise output is included, whose sound depends of the frequency setting of oscilaltor 2. The octave range switches are the same like in 2OSC/d. On top of the usual 1V/octave pitch control, the module can be controlled also via IMDI, the internal, patchable MIDI! Oscillators 1 and 2 are separate via different MIDI channels.

Notes: The GRUNGE FILTER is the AE version of the filter that gave the famous Polivoks synth his unique, rough sound. The Polivoks was a Russian synth that was produced between 1982 and 1990.

Beyond the basic design, this filter offers some additional features:

Two different resonance characteristics, hard and soft

An FM function, that adds the input signal to the modulation of the filter

An optional overdrive for the output, making the sound even more rough and untamed.

Notes: The MASTER module is the base of an AE modular system if MIDI control has to be possible; it contains

- The voltage regulation (5V) for the power supply of the modules

- A MIDI input (minijack; Breakout cable to DIN-5 socket is available separately); the MIDI channel can be selected between 1, 14, 15,16 or OMNI

- In/out-sockets (3.5mm minijack) for audio out and/or interfacing with a Eurorack system

- All bus signals (CV, GATE, CTRL, MIDI clock/start/stop) as patch sockets

- IMDI output

Notes: The uOSC is a super versatile oscillator module, that also can be controlled via IMDI.

It offers a variety of waveforms/sounds, depending on the chosen mode:

Sawtooth, can be changed to a detuned group of three sawtooth waves
Squarewave with adjustable pulsewidth
Triangle and true Sinewave
THREE different wavetables, each one with it's unique, smooth blend between 16 waveforms
The pitch can be controlled via 1V/octave CV or the brand new IMDI signal (see IMDI HEART for more info).

The waveform shape can be controlled via a separate CV and/or also with a MIDI controller via the IMDI-HEART module.

Additional to the normal audio output a suboctave output with a squarewave is provided, and a third output with the mix of the primary oscillator signal and the suboctave.

Quite a lot for such a tiny module, right?

Please note: These micro module needs a carrier, like the uBASE module. The cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: This module is best if you want a classic, analogue oscillator and prefer fully analogue sound generation. It offers:

- two CV inputs 1V/octave

- Modulation input with Level-knob, switchable to frequency or pulsewidth

- PWM input

- Coarse / Fine knob for frequency

- Pulsewidth knob for square wave

- Square / Triangle / Sawtooth output

The VCO R2 supersedes the VCO module which was part of the AE modular Kickstarter campaign in 2017; with the overall development of AE modular, the old one doesn't really meet the current quality level of AE any more. So Tangible Waves are happy to offer this completely redesigned module, that offers a really good volt/octave tracking over 5-6 octaves (using both CV inputs) and an amazing temperature stability.

Notes: The SEQ8 R2 s an 8-step sequencer for controlling oscillator pitch and triggering envelopes.

Compared to "classic" analogue sequencers it works a bit different: Instead of setting the CV for each step independently (which means in fact "tuning" each step which can be a bit tedious), the SEQ8 has 4 knobs for presetting different CV's (= notes); each of the 8 step knobs selects one of these CVs, plus 0V (=base note) plus Pause (no trigger output). So some CVs have to be fine-tuned once; with the step knobs you can focus entirely on the sequence itself and you can even modify it on the fly, still remaining in tune.

The IMDI input allows timing and start/stop control via IMDI, e.g. from teh IMDI HEART module or from the MASTER R6 and newer. The module can be configured to different time signatures, scaling the notes (minor, major, pentatonic, chromatic) and adding an octave offset. The IMDI out provides the notes as IMDI, parallel to the CV/GATE output.

Additionally to the selected CV presets, the "raw" value of the step knobs is also accessible at an extra output.

Notes: The MASTER module is the base of an AE modular system if MIDI control has to be possible; it contains:

The voltage regulation (5V) for the power supply of the modules
A MIDI input (minijack; Breakout cable to DIN-5 socket is available separately); the MIDI channel can be selected between 1, 14, 15,16 or OMNI
In/out-sockets (3.5mm minijack) for audio out and/or interfacing with a Eurorack system
All bus signals (CV, GATE, CTRL, MIDI clock/start/stop) as patch sockets
The power supply is a 9V DC wall adapter (see here).


Note: The MASTER R5 is the latest revision of the MASTER module which is the core of most AE systems; what's new here is:

The bus signals CV, gate, ctrl CV, MIDI start/stop/clock can be connected with / removed from the bus individually with the microswitches

The TRS MIDI input now accepts both types of TRS-MIDI adapters

The mechanical design is changed to be compatible with the QUICKSWAP CASE.

Notes: The uENV is an versatile envelope generator with attack and decay controls; additionally, both phases can be CV controlled. The envelope can be configured in AR or AD mode, meaning with or without sustain phase.

The attack and decay times are in the range of 0.01 to 60 seconds; the knobs are scaled in a way that times can be set easily no matter if short or long.

Another configuration option for the output is exponential (the classic envelope shape) or linear.

Finally, an END signal allows operation as LFO by patching the END output to the gate input. A button allows manual triggering as well as entering the configuration mode; a multicolour LED indicates the envelope output or settings when configuring.

Please note: These micro modules need a carrier, like the uBASE module. The cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: The uFM is an oscillator module, that is focused on FM synthesis.

It's basically a two-operator FM synthesis, but with extended functionality: The operator waveforms can be either sine waves (classic FM), or four other different combinations of non-sinewave waveforms, that produce a much broader palette of sounds beyond the classic sinewave based FM synthesis.

The MOD DPT knob controls the modulation depth; in combination with a button press also the multiplier of the modulating operator can be defined.

Both parameters can be controlled also by CV and also via IMDI by MIDI controllers. The pitch can be controlled via 1V/octave CV or also via IMDI e.g. from a DAW

(For IMDI, see IMDI HEART for more info).

Additional to the normal audio output a suboctave output with a squarewave is provided, and a third output with the mix of the primary oscillator signal and the suboctave.

Quite a lot for such a tiny module, right?

Please note: These micro module needs a carrier, like the uBASE module. The cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: FMOS R2 is a FM oscillator, and the successor of the discontinued FMOS module with a lot of new features!

FMOS R2 is basically a 2-operator FM synthesis sound generator, with the classic parameters MULTIPLIER for the modulating operator and MOD DEPTH for controlling the amount of FMing of the carrier operator.

Beyond this basic functionality, FMOS R2 offers following extra features:

- Additionally to the basic sinewave operator waveform, FMOS R2 has five additional waveform combinations for the carrier/modulator waveform, resulting in a more rich overtone spectrum

- The FEEDBACK control adds feedback the carrier/modulator chain, adding more variety to the sound spectrum

- The modulator can optionally be set to fixed frequency, especially useful for synthesizing metallic, inharmonic sounds

- A sub-oscillator output provides a square wave one octave lower

- The MIX output provides a mix between the FM sound and the sub-oscillator.

- Pitch is either controlled by a 1V/octave CV or IMDI, the "modular MIDI" introduced by tangible waves

- Modulation depth can be modulated by CV

- All parameters can also be controlled via IMDI, with a number of MIDI controllers.

All this with a nice portion of 8-bit charm!

Notes: The PAN/XFADE module is a combined routing processor for creating panning and crossfades. The PAN/XFADE works either as a signal panner, meaning one input signal is moved continuously between the left and right output, or, in crossfade mode, where it blends between two input signals into one output. Of course controllable by CV; and working for audio signals as well as DC control voltages.

Notes: The IMDI HEART module is the central module for using IMDI (the "internal MIDI" transmision) within AE modular.

It receives MIDI, either by a TRS adapter, or via USB-C (the module appears as Class-compliant MIDI device on a computer); the incoming data is splitted up to 16 outputs carrying IMDI data. Each output contains the information of one (or more) MIDI channel(s) and a freely assignable note range, in the standard MIDI data rate or at a much higher data rate. Realtime data, like MIDI start/stop/clock is provided as gate/trigger outputs; the 1/96th clock can be divided to other, slower clock rates.

The outputs can drive then modules that can receive IMDI, like the micro oscillators (uOSC, uFM, uPOLY) and other upcoming IMDI capable modules.

The 16 chains of IMDI controlled modules you get with IMDI HEART is enough for quite complex setups, so in most cases, one IMDI HEART will be enough.

Notes: The uPOLY is a polyphonic, 4-voice sawtooth oscillator module.

It can work either as a source of pre-defined chords in major or minor scale; or it can be controlled via IMDI as a paraphonic oscillator with a common envelope.

Each voice consists of two sawtooth oscillators, that can be detuned by a certain amount; this makes this module most suitable for smooth pad sounds.

A switch changes between minor and major scale; the FREQ knob and the CV input goes through the chords of the chosen scale.

Another feature of the module is a chorus effect that can be mixed into the output.

When controlled by IMDI, the possibilities are even more:

Notes can be played individually
A common volume envelope is applied to the sound; Attack and Decay time can be controlled via MIDI controller messages from your DAW or MIDI controller
An LFO with adjustable rate and depth can be applied
All parameters can be controlled by MIDI controllers via the IMDI HEART module; over one single patch cable! (Regarding IMDI, see IMDI HEART for more info).

Quite a lot for such a tiny module, right?

Please note: These micro module needs a carrier, like the uBASE module. The cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: DRONE38 is a sound generator with 18 oscillators in total, organized in six groups of three oscillators each. 12 of them can be switched between sawtooth and triangle waves, 6 are fixed sawtooth oscillators.

The groups can be mixed individually with 3 mixer knobs, where each 2 groups can be assigned to the level. Additionally, each group can be activated /"played" with buttons near the group.

The oscillators are not meant to be controlled by CVs, but only set static with a knob. By mixing them, very dense drones and clusters can be created.

Additionally, 6 oscillators can be synced to other ones for extending the sonic palette.

Notes: The ENVFOLLOWER/EXT.IN module brings external sound sources in your AE modular; it does this in different aspects:

The module has two mono audio inputs for external sources; one unbalanced for line level signals like audio players, tapes, portable recorders, and a balanced one for directly attaching microphones (dynamic and self powered condenser mics, but not phantom powered ones). This input signal is brought then to AE level.

Now, from the input signal an envelope is derived, giving the volume of the signal as CV which can control what you want, e.g. filter cutoff, pitch or what else is CV controllable within your AE system. The SMOOTH knob controls the shape of the envelope/suppression of the audio signal component.

Finally, the ENVFOLLOWER module provides a gate signal, indicating that the level of the audio input is above a certain level that can be set with the GATE THRES knob.

Notes: The HEARTBEAT EXTENDER expands the functionality of the HEARTBEAT module. It is connected to the HEARTBEAT module with a small ribbon cable (included) and offers following features:

Six preset buttons to store and recall different tempos with one button press

MIDI in and out sockets with LED indicators: The HEARTBEAT module can follow incoming MIDI timing data (MIDI start/stop/clock) as an additional option; and the current tempo of the HEARTBEAT is sent out as MIDI timing data if it acts as master clock in a complete system - other MIDI devices will follow it's tempo.

A knob that controls either the swing amount or the transition time when changing from one preset to another (known as accelerando/ritardando).

A lock switch, that disable the save button and other functions that could be an issue e.g. in live situations.

Notes: An Arduino-compatible granular sound player / multi purpose digital sound module.

This module is a development of ginkosynthese.com; Jan-Willem from Ginkosynthese gave Tangible Waves special permission to adapt his module for the AE format.

It's based on the Atmega 328 micro controller, well known as the core of the Arduino Uno, Nano and other boards, and can act as a granular sound player as well as different other functions depending on the firmware. It can be programmed directly by the Arduino IDE via the integrated USB socket on the front side of the module (USB cable is included!)

A lot of different codes are available on the Ginkosynthese website; they are a perfect starting point for your own experiments and exploring how digital sound processing works.

Starting in June 2020, the module contains an additional switch which configures the module for two basic modes: G is for the original Grains mode; M makes the module directly useable for the Mozzi Library, an excellent audio/synth library for Arduino compatible devices.

For info about Mozzi look here: https://sensorium.github.io/Mozzi/

Notes: The uBITCRUSHER processes audio signals by digitizing it with variable bit-depth and samplerate; both parameters as knob and also CV control.

Please note: These micro modules need a carrier, like the uBASE module. They cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: The uS&H / RANDOM / NOISE module combines several functionalities for (pseudo) random control; it includes two sample & holds (one of them can be switched to track & hold) and a random/noise section. The latter can be switched between two types of random CV (stepped / smoothed), these either at an internal, tapped rate or an external clock.

Please note: These micro modules need a carrier, like the uBASE module. They cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: The 1U Stereo Mixer is intended for pannable stereo output, but it is also suitable for both DC (Gates, Triggers and Control Voltage) & AC (audio) signals.

Specifications:
Current draw: +12: 13mA, -12: 9.2mA
Depth: 32mm
Width: 24HP
Please note: Synthrotek's 1U products do not fit in Vermona or Intellijel cases.

Notes: The Kontact MIC is a lo-fi theme park. It's a Eurorack microphone preamp with a piezo contact mic built into the panel.

The creative applications are endless: finger percussion/rubbing/scratching, guitar input (works surprisingly well with just a little lofi crunch), acoustic sources to CV, etc.

The PCB fibreglass has quite a nice rough texture - rubbing it with a finger or a plectrum creates quite a wide range of sounds. The back of the panel is plated to expand the surface area of the contact mic. The mic will also pick up all the physical sounds in your modular- patching, cables rustling, switches, fingers on knobs - without picking up airborne sounds i.e. the sound your modular is making. At very high sound levels will pick up vibrations from the speaker output and start to feedback.

The module will work with both DIYed contact mics made from inexpensive piezo transducers, off the shelf contact mics (often called Piezo Pickups) made for guitars and violins which you can pick up for ten bucks from Amazon or eBay or more bespoke mics like the popular Jez Riley French models (including hydrophones!) which are firmly aimed at Sound Designers.

It is an easy way to bring environmental noise and feedback into a modular system, inspired by the early days of electroacoustic music in Paris and Cologne, and by the contact microphone and phonograph cartridge experiments of John Cage, Gordon Mumma, Robert Ashley and Nicholas Collins.

Notes: SetonixSynth Sands Of Time 1U Filtered Noise Source Module

The SetonixSynth Sands of Time is a compact 1U noise source which contains two separate noise circuits: a transistor-based analog noise generator similar to those used in many classic modular synth systems of the '60s and '70s, and a CMOS logic-based fixed oscillator bank as found in some of the great drum machines of the '80s, particularly of the TR series.

Either or both of these noise sources may be routed to a sweepable active bandpass filter, perfect for shaping the noise into many different "flavors," from low-frequency rumble, to chest-thumping midrange snare source, to hissing raw hi-hat noise and everything in between.

In a very small package, the Sands of Time provides a full palette of audio frequencies and Noise-like sounds which are useful in many popular patching techniques, especially analog drum patches and "Noise Walls" along with the generation of pseudo-random voltages for use with Sample & Holds, slew generators, and more.

Though it demands just 10hp of 1U rack space, the Sands of Time is still a useful and diverse noise source with some "oomph," a crucial yet often overlooked addition to any setup or patch.

Width: 10 hp (Intellijel 1U format)
Depth: 35 mm
Peak Current Draw: 25 mA @ +12V, 25mA @ -12V

Notes: The Solar Gravity from SetonixSynth and Tidbit Audio is an analogue vactrol-based VCA designed to bring the lovely response of optocouplers into the realm of clean, performance-based Eurorack VCAs. Starting with this simple concept, the Solar Gravity utilizes some neat active circuitry to significantly reduce the bleed inherent in vactrol-based VCAs and to provide the user with lots of control over the level, direction, and response of incoming control voltage.

Though it's primarily designed for use with audio signals, the Solar Gravity can also be used to control the level of CV such as envelopes or stepped voltages with a unique vactrol response through its DC-coupled input.

Notes: Add 3 more V/Oct and Gate inputs to your Vector Wave with the Expander

The Vector Wave Expander module from RYK Modular allows you to use CV and Gate to control the Vector Wave as a 4 Voice multi-timbral synth module.

And it looks nice.

Features:

3HP

Notes: TUL Dual Attenuator/-verter and Offset Generator

Temperature stable and accurate circuit design. The attenuator is exponential and can be regulated more precisely in the initial range.

As an attenuverter, the fader describes an S-curve, i.e. it is in Range +/- 0 finer adjustable. The AC gain is 1, so there is no loss at maximum Att/Attv settings.

The offset potentiometer shift by +/- 5 volts and can be switched to another mode on the back of the PCB using jumpers.

Here the attenuation is towards zero made until it is zero.

The normal mode leaves the voltage at the specified offset value.

Channel A is normalized to channel B so you can get two different CVs.

On the rear side of the PCB, you have a jumper to switch from offset pre fader (good for ADSR) and post fader.

Power consumption: +/- 20mA

Rackspace: 6HP

CV out is (-/+5Volt) if nothing is patched to IN A/B, so you can use it as a manual CV source.

Notes: Want to smooth out attack and release on your signals, but don't want to sacrifice too much space in your case?

Quadar is an analogue 4 channel slew rate limiter that can be used as an attack/release envelope generator. Send in any signal to independently control the attack time and release time with the A and R knobs.

Technical Specs:
- 3U x 6HP x 25 mm deep
- Current Draw: 10mA @ 12V, 10mA @ -12V

What's in the box:
- 1x Quadar module
- 1x Power cable
- 2x Mounting screws

Notes: Have some noisy modules in your case? Or maybe you're just looking to attenuate your sound for a different vibe. Whatever your case, Lopas is a great, compact solution for your passive filtering needs. Lopas has 5 passive low-pass filters each with a different cutoff frequency (10k, 5k, 1k, 500, 100) at -6dB/octave. Lopas has NO resonance making it great for reducing unwanted harsh frequencies without sacrificing a VCF.

Technical specs:

3U x 4HP x 20 mm deep.
Passive Module -- No power required!

Notes: Bohm:Performer is a mixer for both the main Bohm Stereo kick module and the Bohm: groove expander, blending dual kick engines with external stereo input, offering precise side-chain ducking, intuitive one-touch DJ effects (filters, beat/slip rolls), and full CV assignabilityiempowering live performers with seamless, dynamic mix control.

Notes: Muta Jovis is a 4HP switchable quad mute. The inputs are circularly normalled so a single input can be sent (and muted) to up to four outputs. Switches and LEDs that indicate channels that are outputting signal leave no doubt about the state of each channel. MJ was designed with gates/triggers in mind.

Size: 4HP Eurorack
Depth: 0.8 Inches
Power: 2x5 Eurorack

Notes: MAR is a multichannel dual mixer module for the modular synthesizer. Both mixers are capable of mixing audio, CV and gate signals because they are DC coupled. MAR has two independent 4-channels mixers:

Mixer X: Is a four channel mixer with gain control for each channel. The potentiometers use logarithmic tape to have a good control with audio signals. This mixer features two outputs, the mixer output and its inverted. The output level is shown in the LED.

Mixer Y: Is a four channel mixer with gain control for the sum of the Y channels. If no jack is connected to the input Y1, the output of the Mixer X is normalled to Mixer Y. The potentiometer use logarithmic tape to have a good control with audio signals. This mixer features one output, the sum of the 4 channels. The output level is shown in the LED.

This Mixer can work as two 4-1 Mixer, or 7-1 Mixer with global gain control.

INPUTS:
4 Mixer X inputs.
4 Mixer Y inputs.

OUTPUTS:
Mixer X output.
Inverted Mixer X output.
Mixer Y output.
Mixer X + Mixer Y output.
