EaganMatrix Eurorack by Haken Audio

"The EaganMatrix is a eurorack module with a remarkable built-in synth engine that's also featured in the Haken Slim Continuum and ContinuuMini. It has four CV inputs that control 'note on' (W), pitch (X), expression (Y) and pressure (Z). It has over 500 patches on board which offer amazing sonic renders of strings, plucks, pads, choirs, physical models and a wide array of effects that are just made for feedback. In the Eurorack universe it's a mono experience, but the EaganMatrix serves eight voice polyphony. So notes aren't just cut off, they have their own independent envelopes. There are four 'bespoke' control inputs (I, II, III and IV) which offer tailor-made control over a patch. Their function depends on that patch, e.g. a custom control can affect reverb, feedback, filtering, or all at once through functions. The eight voice polyphonic engine can be 'read' by the EaganMatrix Editor (a Max application) and allows you to create your own patches and save them to the module. It's not a VST, the EaganMatrix can run without a PC or Mac. However, when you patch it up with an MPE midi controller (e.g. the Linnstrument, Sensel Morph or Seaboard RISE) the module turns into a full blown Continuum synth with eight voice polyphony. The module is not exactly a bargain, but it offers you a breathtaking sonic journey that could keep you occupied for decades."
