"This time we present to you a short recreation of a jam that was played in Modular Tribe Riga meeting a few days earlier. What is Modular Tribe Riga you might ask. It's a collective of modular enthusiasts that come together at least once a month to enjoy each other's company and play our modular synths."

Noise Engineering announces Case of Steel, a 64 HP Eurorack Skiff with Busboard Power and Mults

Noise Engineering announces Case of Steel, a 64 HP Eurorack Skiff with Integrated Busboard Power and Mults

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their versatile Eurorack modules, has released Case of Steel, a skiff designed to house and power 64 HP of Eurorack modules.

While Noise Engineering has spent the last decade creating innovative modules, this is their first time releasing a standalone case. And while the market for cases large and small has grown significantly, Noise Engineering’s design still stands out with some innovative design choices and unique construction.

As the name implies, the case is made entirely of steel, with mounting holes tapped directly into the steel frame. This ensures that modules stay put, and the weight of the case keeps it in place while in use, despite its compact size. A pair of passive mults installed on the bottom of the case aids in patching, and saves HP in a small system. And while some skiffs are particularly shallow, Case of Steel offers over 2” of depth for modules, housing all but the deepest Eurorack designs for unmatched flexibility.

Case of Steel also features an integrated power supply. A power switch on the back of the case turns on the system, and power is delivered via a real busboard installed under the row of mults – no flying bus cables here. Despite the case’s compact size, the power specs are no joke: two zones of +12V offering 850mA each, plus 750mA of -12V and 1A of +5V. In a 64 HP system, it’ll be difficult to reach those limits. Case of Steel has a built-in power switch, and ships with a power brick, too.

For the production of Case of Steel, Noise Engineering worked with a metal fabricator near their headquarters, showing off the awesome capabilities of the Los Angeles maker community.

Due to the complexity of distribution, coupled with its unique materials and design, a limited run of just 90 cases has been produced, and will be sold exclusively through Noise Engineering’s web shop.

Case of Steel is a robust and powerful solution for Eurorack synthesists, no matter where they are in their journey.

Case of Steel begins shipping on February 19th only at https://noiseengineering.us.

Features
• Black powder coated steel design: solid case stays put while you patch
• Two sets of passive mults make patching easy
• Integrated busboard power supply with switch
• Bespoke Noise Engineering power supply with two zones of +12V offering 850mA each, plus 750mA of -12V and 1A of +5V
• Includes power brick

Availability and pricing:
Case of Steel: In stock. Shipping from Noise Engineering starting February 19th, 2026; MSRP US$225

Rare Drum Electronic Synthesizer HOT ED-42 test


video upload by nagrzybydolasu

This appears to be the first post to feature the HOT ED-42.

"This is a little jam with very rare polish drum synthesizer HOT ED-42. Couple of takes (with Roland Tr6s and Moog Dfam)
Hot Ed has 4 mono trigger IN/OUT (gate or audio) + 2 mono audio IN channel.
All 4 channels sounds the same and has the same parameters (sensitive, decya, sweep, VCO, volume, panorama).
2 audio channels has Treble/Bass/Effect/Volume/Panorama
There is no NOISE knobs (for snare and hihats)
There is one AUX (for 2 audio channels).
4 mysterious knobs on front of the machine (i have no idea what they do)

** Polish**
bardzo rzadki perkusyjny syntezator HOT ED-42
Posiada 4 wejścia wyjścia Gate/Audio które wzbudzają VCO (nie brzmią perkusyjnie, bardziej basowo, melodyjnie - brak NOISE do snarów lub hihatów)
2 wejscią audio (audio może być z zewnątrz lub mogą wychodzić OUTami z ed42)
1 wejście AUX.
1 wyjście stereo(lub mono)
4 gałki na froncie, z przodu instrumentu - nie mam pojęcia co robią)

to chyba pierwszy filmik tego syntezatora na YT. Więc niech leci w świat.

RetroSound Studio Tour: Analog Polyphonic Synthesizers


video upload by RetroSound

"RetroSound Studio Tour
Classic Analog Polyphonic Synthesizers from the 1970s and 1980s

In this episode of RetroSound Studio Tour, I explore the sound, design, and history of legendary analog polyphonic synthesizers from the golden era of electronic music. These vintage poly synths defined the lush pads, warm brass sounds, and cinematic textures heard in synth-pop, progressive rock, disco, film scores, and early electronic music.

This studio tour focuses on true analog polyphonic instruments featuring multiple voices, voltage-controlled oscillators , classic analog filters , and rich modulation systems. Unlike monophonic synths, polyphonic synthesizers allow full chords and layered harmonic textures — making them essential in 1970s and 1980s music production.

In this RetroSound Studio tour, you’ll discover:

5:54 Roland Juno-60
9:49 Roland Juno-106
14:10 Roland Alpha Juno 2
15:42 Roland JX-3P
