ADDAC 511 Stochastic Voltage Generator
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"ADDAC has added a really promising voltage generator to the line-up, which is labelled 'stochastic'. There are roughly three levels of randomness covered by the module. The first is traditional random voltage we know from sample and hold circuits. Then there's aleatoric, which is more controlled e.g. by using a scale and time signature variations. Aleatoric is about throwing dice, but these are used to generate variations in a stream of scaled notes. The final mode is 'stochastic' where a composition is created by setting rules and boundaries that would sculpt the composition. This can go as far as introducing chances of individual notes, scale changes and key changes, but also includes generation of expressions and envelopes. While this is still unnatural, it mimics a performance of a natural player.
The 511 has four channels with gate/CV outs, there's an internal clock, but are four external clocks to drive all kinds of events. You have eight CV inputs to add external influences and there are three logic outputs which will support conditional boolean events, counters and clocks. This is simply not a module I can explain in 20 minutes and a 60+ page manual is inevitable.
Compared to competitive modules like the SIG and the Melodicer, the 511 is prepared to design first, and play later. The others are more for live improvising with generative parameters, where the 511 lets you prepare the parameters with three states per preset, and each preset can be a movement in your performance. It all sounds like a lot of work, and it is, but IMHO the 511 is currently the most powerful generative module in eurorack.
I also need to say that there's a LOT of code involved. There's a menu per button approach, but still, there are a lot of buttons. This also applies to the SIG and honestly it could use a menu. I still haven't figured out the SIG. Melodicer is super easy, but it can only generate one CV/GATE pair.
Since it's also brand new, there may be updates. If you don't have the patience of an early adopter, I'd recommend sitting this one out."

L-Fusion Electronics Introduces Analog Kicks 808+909 Eurorack Module
video upload by LFusion Electronics
"Updated demo video showcasing L-Fusion Modular Analog Kicks Eurorack module with walkthrough through all the parameters, also tips how to get most of it using filtering and EQ. For best listening experience use studio headphones/speakers that can handle the low end.
Module is available on Reverb.
808 kick generates softer more boomy kick sound while 909 outputs more aggressive punchy kick often used for making techno. Built using modern components – Audio grade Burr-Brown OpAmps, low noise transistors as well as quality capacitors including legendary WIMA German ones where larger values are needed - module provides two clean analog sound outputs with dynamic range of over 90dB.
808 kick is based on T-Shape resonator, often used in Electro/Acid tracks. It has decay, pitch and tone knobs. The circuit has been modified for longer maximum decay.
909 kick is more complex, it generates more aggressive punchy kick sound often used making techno, its core is based on integrated triangle shape oscillator. This kick drum can be controlled with original attack, decay, tune, tune decay potentiometers. Original 909 circuit has been improved for longer maximum decay, we have also integrated extra potentiometers for soft clipping distortion and fast decaying attack noise control."

"Introducing new kick drum module with famous 909 and 808 base kick drums based on on original discrete transistor circuits. 808 kick generates softer more boomy kick sound while 909 outputs more aggressive punchy kick often used for making techno. Built using modern components – Audio grade Burr-Brown Opamps, low noise transistors as well as quality capacitors including legendary WIMA German ones where larger values are needed - module provides two clean analog sound outputs with dynamic range of over 90dB.

Introducing RollBud - DJ Style Rolls and Trance Gate Effects - AUv3 FX for iOS
RollBud - Trance Gate & Roll FX video upload by Cem Olcay
"I’ve released my new app RollBud for DJ style rolls and trance gate effects.
- The XY-pad is customizable for both X-axis (beat lengths) and Y-axis (envelope or mix controls), and it’s also MIDI controllable.
- You can record your movements and play them back. They are saved in iCloud and also the recordings can be triggered with MIDI as well.
- The roll mode has a reversed roll mode playing the loops backwards, and the trance gate mode has a inverted envelope mode for fun.
- Envelope’s rise and fall ratio, curve (logarithmic to linear to exponential) and amount, as well as the dry/wet mix can be set on the UI.
More technical details on the effects:
- Roll mode: records the input signal and starts to loop the last beat from the recorded buffer. The loop length is selected on the xy-pad. Applies the envelope on the each loop. The live signal continues to run underneath and with the dry/wet mix you can balance the mix as you’d like.
- Trance gate: applies the envelope to the live input signal. The envelope duration is selected on the xy-pad. You can use the dry/wet mix to balance the intensity of the effect."

"Semi-improvised synthesizer jam on the Moog Matriarch (bass sequence), UDO Super Gemini (poly aftertouch Vangelis brass & arp) & Sequential OB-6 (pads). I absolutely love these 3 synths for in the moment inspiration like this, and have been writing tons of songs with this combo. Here's a little insight into my process of jamming over a simple sequenced progression to find little nuggets of inspiration."
