"Triquetra is a linear feedback shift register module, with three independent registers that have their own Gate and CV output. The clock for the second and third register are normalled to the first, but can be supplied with their own clocks to get a wide range of versatility from the module. A clock source is required to generate bits. The toggle switch will change between Looped and Free Run mode.

Each register has an attenuator for the CV output.

The Gate mode can be switched from a 50% clock cycle when the last bit is high, to a high output as long as the last bit is high. This gives the result of switching between either a “Trigger” style or “Leggato” style Gate. The Gate mode can be switched at any time by pressing all three buttons at the same time.

Each button corresponds to the three registers, and will cycle through the bit generating algorithms (seven in total). The LED will cycle through different colors corresponding to the following:

RED = LFSR1

GREEN= LFSR2

RED/GREEN= Small Number Modulus

BLUE= Fibonacci Sequence

RED/BLUE= Prime Number Sequence

GREEN/BLUE= Large Number Modulus

RED/GREEN/BLUE= Otter Mods Cryptograph"

OBSO | Circle Cynths

video uploads by Circle Cynths

"The debut instrument from Circle Cynths, OBSO. A dreamlike interface delivering instant inspiration, featuring nostalgic synths, pads, basses, bells, and strings, all sampled using obsolete technology.

Learn more at: www.circlecynths.com"



"OBSO is an inspiring catalog of sounds coaxed directly from various forms of obsolete media and extant technology. We celebrate the undulating inconsistencies of bygone days, lovingly filtered through the oxide and worn machinery of VCRs, cassette-decks and other consumer products from the 80s and 90s.

Our dreamlike but intuitive interface is intended to spark instant emotion. Specifically designed to sound good no matter where the knobs are, the five visceral control circles nevertheless offer a huge depth of range within a single patch. Nostalgic synths, creamy pads, lush basses, shimmering bells, burnished brass, scintillating strings, and more glow with the patina of fine age.

Individual sounds sink into a mix like they always existed, but you'll find they can easily stand alone without the need for layering or manipulation outside of the instrument. From film and game scoring to lush pop records, these tactile soundscapes add a dose of warm nostalgia to nearly any production.

Simple Interface
Sculpt your sound with an intuitive interface that features massive depth of control, giving you endless ways to shape and refine your tone.

video upload by The Green Man(TGM) + sound.report by Heiner Kruse

Superbooth25 wrapped up

video upload by Ferry Island Modular

"May 18, 2025
Last week was our first time at Superbooth as exhibitors introducing our first module Four Seas. In this video we wrap up our experience at Superbooth and feature sounds from Four Seas, created and generated by our booth visitors. Thank you to everyone who came by to check out Four Seas, it has been a genuine pleasure to see what you created with it."

Four Seas - sound teaser #1

video upload by Ferry Island Modular

"Here's a demo jam showing off a few things Four Seas can do. All sounds from Four Seas aside from the bass drum from Basimilus Iteritas Alia and the reverb/delay from Mimeophon. Hope you enjoy!

Patch notes:
0:00 - oppressive bass
0:20 - through-zero phase mod, courtesy of Dixie II+
0:45 - hi-hats/percussion using Wogglebug's audio out as a phase mod source
0:58 - swirling synths; two Four Seas outputs mixed into 3 Sisters, wave spread modulated via joystick
1:36 - awesome glitchy "open hats" triggered via Wogglebug's Burst output"

"Four Seas is a four-dimensional wavetable oscillator that transforms sound exploration into a tactile, intuitive experience. Navigate through sonic space using X, Y, and Z controls to explore wavetables as a three-dimensional cube, while the fourth dimension emerges through four related outputs with intelligent spread control.

From gentle detuning to complex microtonal relationships, the spread control offers multiple modes including harmonic ratios, prime numbers, and golden ratio proportions; everything from lush chords to experimental frequency relationships is at your fingertips. The four outputs cascade across wavetable space through intelligent spread algorithms, creating rich, evolving textures like light dispersing through a sonic prism.

The powerful modulation section features thru-zero phase modulation, phase distortion waveshaping, and bitwise XOR for complex sound design. Dual sync inputs with selectable modes, CV control over wavetable banks, and SD card loading for custom wavetables complete the package. Each oscillator pair can switch to LFO rates for modulation duties, and I2C compatibility enables integration with Teletype, Crow, ER-301, and other modules. No menus, no presets — just immediate, musical control over a vast sonic landscape."

Bad Dog Designs OSPRAY 8 Drum Synthesizer

video upload by Pro Synth Network

"I have been very privileged to test, advise, and consult with Paul at Bad Dog Designs on this brilliant drum synthesizer. Taking circuit designs that were over 40 years old, published in E&MM magazine, Paul has recreated and refined these three drum synth designs to create OSPRAY-8, a "vintage" 21st century drum synthesizer.

Four drum modules, three cymbal modules and a clap module, triggerable via MIDI or CV and with a stereo audio output or individual mono outputs per drum, this is the sound of the nascent analog drum synth of the 1980s in a beautiful handmade case.

OSPRAY8 Analogue Percussion Synthesizer Demos

video upload by Bad Dog Designs

"After about 4 months on and off, I've got my percussion Synthesizer in a state where I'm happy with the look and sounds :)

All original 1980's circuit designs with just a few component changes for later IC's, and of course Midi In and through as well as individual trigger inputs.

The OSPRAY-8 ( Old School Percussion Right At Ya! ) comprises 8 individual modules, arranged as 4 X Drum modules / 3 X Cymbal modules / 1 X Handclap module. There is then a final control module that handles midi, midi channel selection and Stereo output.

The Drum Module can generate a multitude of sounds from Bass drums to Snares, Toms, Rimshots, bleeps and other weird and wonderful sounds.

The Cymbal Module can generate Open and Closed Hi-Hats, Gongs, Cowbells as well as other metallic oddness.

The Handclap does as it says, but will generate multiple claps with full control of frequency / resonance / ambience etc.

As each module has it's own line out and trigger in, you can join two together, so you can combine a handclap with a drum and get a really sharp and punchy snare for example.

The front panel is machined from a single piece of aluminium, the lettering engraved into the surface for a well engineered finish. The Casing is still in development, but you can see a mock up in the clip.
All the audio is straight out of the OSPRAY-8 with no processing."


via Bad Dog Designs

"The Ospray-8 is a fully Analogue percussion synthesizer, housed in a free standing desktop format. The sounds are produced by entirely analogue electronic modules, tailored for different percussive sound types. The Ospray-8 contains 8 modules connected together, comprising of 4 X Drum Modules, 3 X Cymbal Modules and 1 X Handclap module. There is then a housekeeping module that handles midi control, and stereo outputs."

Hotone Verbera Convolution Reverb + Synthesizer Demo

video upload by HotoneAudio

"Step into a universe of lush, immersive soundscapes with the Hotone Verbera. In this video, we explore unique presets paired with expressive IRs, showcasing how Verbera transforms a synthesizer’s tone into a cinematic journey. From deep ambient washes to rhythmic, pulsing reverbs, discover the power of convolution and algorithmic reverb in one compact pedal.

Featured Presets & IRs:
00:07 - 001 - Verbera / IR: Space VAB Sd
00:41 - 024 – Multi Universe / IR: Time Slip
01:18 - 028 – Disco Elysiumt / IR: Ping Pong Fun
02:10 - 062 - Flap Wings / IR: Rain Field

Perfect for synth players, guitarists, and sonic explorers alike."



Ever imagined your sound echoing through a sold-out stadium? Or reverberating off the metallic walls of a NASA spacecraft hangar? What if your guitar fell into a cosmic white hole… or drifted through the vaulted ceilings of a centuries-old cathedral?

Welcome to Verbera — where imagination meets reality. This is not your typical software convolution plugin. Verbera is a standalone, hardware-based convolution reverb pedal — with Instant IR loading, stunning tweakability, and boundless sonic range. Whether you’re recreating iconic spaces, vintage hardware, or crafting otherworldly reverbs never heard before, Verbera gives musicians and engineers a powerful new tool for both live and studio setups.

Step Into Iconic Spaces and Classic Gear with a Single Click
Verbera ships with 120 world-class impulse responses (IRs) — captured in breathtaking detail from legendary spaces like symphony halls, European cathedrals, even aerospace facilities. You’ll also find IRs modeled after classic studio gear like spring and plate reverbs. Massive or intimate, modern or retro — Verbera brings those sonic environments directly under your feet.

Reverbs from Another Dimension
Verbera isn’t just about realism — it’s about reinvention. Beyond the meticulously captured IRs, you’ll find a curated library of original Hotone-crafted IRs that stretch the limits of your imagination. Think sci-fi-inspired synth atmospheres, time-warping delay trails, shimmering textures pulled straight from a “white hole” in space. These are not your standard reverbs — they’re creative catalysts designed to inspire your next masterpiece.

Dual Reverb Engine for Deep-Dimensional Sound Design
At the heart of Verbera is a dual-engine design. On one side: the IR convolution engine, capturing the nuanced reflections of real spaces and gear. On the other: XR, a finely tuned algorithmic reverb that brings surreal, hyper-dimensional ambiance to your sound. Layer them. Shape them. And with a single tap, freeze the XR reverb to create endlessly evolving textures and ambient pads.

Cutting-Edge Convolution Tech, Instant IR loading
Powered by Hotone’s proprietary low-latency convolution engine, Verbera delivers studio-grade reverb tails — up to 10 seconds stereo or 20 seconds mono — without skipping a beat. Switch IRs on the fly with zero audio dropout. This is next-gen performance that blows past traditional limitations.

JX2044 Synthesizer Protoype - Polyphonic aftertouch test

video upload by adamstan84

"#JX2044 Quick test of response to PAT MIDI messages (routed to filter cutoff)."

You might remember adamstan84 from previous posts on the site dating back to 2015.

"#JX2044 is my latest synthesizer project. It's an analog synthesizer inspired by Roland JX8P. The "2044" refers to the filter chip I used - V2044 from CoolAudio, which is a clone of legendary SSM2044.

Here are some basic specs:
8 voices, bi-timbral
2 DCO oscillators with CrossMod (AM) block based on JX8P, but with PWM capability, and with added triangle waveform instead of noise for DCO B.
3 ADSR envelopes per voice - with switchable Exponential/Linear shape
3 LFOs per voice - LFOs can be slaved together for typical monophonic behavior. Seven waveforms - triangle, sine, square, rising ramp, falling ramp, random and noise.
4 pole (24dB/oct) resonant low pass filter (with self-oscillation)
DCO B can be used as source for Filter FM
master HPF per layer, adjustable in 16 steps.
Digital effects section per layer, with 4 blocks:
Resonant filter bank with two modes - "VP330 Human Voice" ("Male" and "Female" presets) and Polymoog Resonator with three adjustable bands.
Stereo chorus with three modes - "JX Slow", "JX Fast" and "StringMachine" - the last one using three delay lines modulated with dual LFOs.
4-stage phaser
Delay/Reverb

I tried to somehow group the sounds, but there are some oddballs here and there in between. Anyway, here are some bookmarks

AXIOM - Euclidean Rhythm Generator

video uploads by Scrapcode Modular - from 3 years ago

Playlist:

1. AXIOM - Euclidean Rhythm Generator - Product Overview
2. AXIOM - 9/8 Jam
3. AXIOM - Long Pattern

AXIOM is a Eurorack module based on the popular concept of the Euclidean Rhythm, where a defined number of HITS is evenly distributed throughout a sequence.

It allows two CV inputs for each if its four lanes – one for the number of HITS in each lane, and a second for either the number of STEPS in each sequence or for an OFFSET to its starting position.

Each sequence can be assigned a different length, causing the rhythms in each lane to move in and out of phase with one another. A pattern of up to 21,840 steps is possible before repeating if the right settings are chosen!*

An internal clock or external CV trigger can be used to progress the sequencer.

AXIOM is available as either a DIY Kit or as a fully assembled product.

For more information please visit www.scrapcode.co.uk

*Hint – use STEPS MODE and set the STEPS values to 13, 14, 15 and 16.

04:51 Outro

WONK is a four lane envelope generator with a twist!

Each lane shares the same Attack and Release controls, but these can be further modified by the Wonk parameter:

More Wonk will make the top envelopes longer and the bottom envelopes shorter.
Less Wonk will make the top envelopes shorter and the bottom envelopes longer.

WONK can run in Attack-Release, Hold-Release or Looping modes, and is available fully built or as a DIY kit.

what is it
the NSA selector is a eurorack module with two ethernet jacks and one audio output. any bit on the network will be sent to the audio output.

what it's not
this is not an "audio interface". we do not play back any "format" such as RTP or MP3 or WAV ot the like. the eurorack module does not "speak" any protocol. all traffic is forwarded from one network jack to the other unmodified. it's just tapped, intercepted to convert it to audio.
