Blukac Instruments Endless Processor
The Blukac Instruments Endless Processor is a dual-channel infinite sound sustainer machine. It is not a looper in the usual sense - Endless Processor resynthesizes your sounds to create a perfect clickless stream while preserving the timbral and tonal character of the original. Stack your sounds (or move between them) to create harmonies, textures, or drones with 5 layers per channel.Already own this module? Checkout the NEW Endless Processor (Ex)pander Kit that opens new possibilities for Endless Processor! Now, there is pitch control over both channels. You can shift one octave up or shift down to a full sound stop, covering multiple octaves, effectively replicating the variable speed replay effect. This allows for the creation of new textures from existing sounds.
Erica Synths Hexinverter Mindphaser Dual Oscillator
The Erica Synths Hexinverter Mindphaser is a next generation complex dual oscillator for the Eurorack modular synthesizer format. Its dual oscillator architecture builds on and advances principles developed decades ago, by pioneers of electronic music synthesis.Mindphaser generates sounds through its dual VCO cores: the Carrier and Modulator, and in addition to these cores, a palette of intermodulation capability is offered through the Modulation Bus (ModBus) and a separate, supplementary through-zero phase modulation (TZ-PM) bus. The sound is further sculpted by a final set of tools contained in the Waveshaper, before reaching the final output.
Instruo OCHD Expander
Meet the Instruō øchd expander, an expansion module for one of Eurorack’s most beloved modulation sources, øchd. Launched in 2019 and designed in collaboration with Ben “DivKid” Wilson, the Instruō øchd has set a standard for compact and versatile modulation sources which can now be seen across thousands of eurorack systems. The Instruō øchd expander adds 16 outputs and 4 new sets of functionality to øchd’s normal operation.Using øchd’s LFOs as signal sources, øchd expander [ø]4^2 adds full wave rectified unipolar positive LFOs, analog diode logic for minimum and maximum voltage mixing, cascaded stochastic trigger signals for interesting rhythmic patterns, and R-2R 4-bit random voltage sources for all things wild and chaotic – all of which are controlled by øchd’s single frequency control and CV attenuverter.
Squarp Instruments Hermod+
Based on the established Hermod workflow and keeping the same form factor, Squarp Instruments' Hermod+ offers a lot of new features, and a refined, more playful interface with extended connectivity.Hermod+ let's you record CV/Gate, MIDI notes and modulations on 16 polyphonic tracks. Compose melodic variations across 16 patterns per track, and take advantage of the advanced step sequencer and the new effects to gain efficiency and creativity in studio and on stage.
Qu-Bit Electronix Mojave Live Granular Processor
The Qu-Bit Mojave, a dynamic sandstorm-inspired granular processor, draws inspiration from the vast American Southwest deserts. Craft beautifully intricate sonic landscapes by utilizing microscopic audio bits.Mojave's unique melodic and rhythmic controls contextualize each grain, allowing you to generate clock-synced granular arpeggios or envelop your sound in harmonic swirls with ease. Effortlessly tailor each grain using individual knobs and construct diverse soundscapes. Mojave goes beyond modular signals; use the onboard microphone to manipulate acoustic audio and immerse yourself as the wind.
1010Music Bluebox Eurorack Edition
The 1010Music Bluebox Eurorack edition is the new Eurorack mixer with effects and multichannel recording/playback based on the award-winning bluebox desktop mixer. With the Eurorack edition’s USB-C EXT port, you can send 2 channels of audio to and from your computer.Plus, with the 1010Music Bluebox Eurorack edition you can control up to 6 mix settings with the 6 CV inputs. Whether recording your Eurorack jams, using it to play stems as backing tracks, or a combination of both – bluebox Eurorack edition will rock your rack!
Make Noise Spectraphon Dual Spectral Oscillator
The Make Noise/soundhack Spectraphon music synthesizer module is a dual Spectral Oscillator coded by Tom Erbe of soundhack. It uses real-time spectral analysis and resynthesis to create new sounds from those that already exist.The Spectraphone is inspired by classic electronic musical instruments of the past, including spectral processors, additive synthesis, vocoders, and resonators especially the Buchla 296 and Touché, but it takes a physical form more resembling the classic analog dual complex oscillator in the lineage of the Buchla 259 and the Make Noise DPO.

Tiptop Buchla Model 296t Programmable Spectral Processor
The Tiptop Audio Buchla Model 296t is a 16 band spectral resonator & vocoder based on the original Buchla 296.Equipped with 16 individual bandpass filters, the Buchla Model 296t Programmable Spectral Processor can act as a real-time performance filter, programmable compound equalizer, and even a spectrum-translating vocoder, providing analysis and synthesis capabilities.
Noise Engineering Alia Oscillator Platform
Alia is a 10HP oscillator platform and is the new home for your favorite Noise Engineering sounds, both classic and new. Turn your module into Basimilus Iteritas, their legendary percussive powerhouse; Manis Iteritas, a dark industrial techno machine; or Debel Iteritas, an additive PM voice inspired by yesteryear, or maybe even something completely different as new firmwares are released.Firmware is always free for Alia owners, so swap out your sound whenever you need a new vibe. Alia has something for everyone.
Boredbrain Xcelon True Stereo Voltage-Controlled Mixer
Boredbrain Xcelon is an all-analog six-channel stereo audio mixer for eurorack modular systems. With an interface designed for immediate hands-on control and visual feedback, plus extensive CV and expandability, the module is a powerful mixing tool for both performance and production.The 48 HP module consists of three main sections. On the left side are the channel inputs (both audio and CV), in the middle are the channel controls, and on the right are the mix outputs, plus FX i/o and controls.
Xaoc Batumi II Quadruple Low Frequency Oscillator
The Xaoc Batumi [ˌbaˈtumi] II is not merely a common LFO, times four. Instead, it offers four channels of wide-range voltage and tempo-controlled oscillators that may operate independently or in several synchronous modes, scoring 12 simultaneously available waveforms that may be phase offset or frequency dependent with variable ratios. It is a powerful, versatile, multifaceted modulation hub that may act as the central driving force for any modular patch.
