"A Shortcut for Atmospheric Processing
Iroi is a compact, 18 HP stereo effects powerhouse designed to turn any external signal into a deep, evolving soundscape. It inherits the sophisticated processing chain of its predecessor, Oneiroi. Combines a unique signal chain composed of a multimode filter, a VCA, a unique character resonator, a versatile delay, and an experimental Reverb. The filter - VCA act like a block that can be placed at any point on the signal chain"

Atmospheric FX Processing in Eurorack // IROI from BEFACO

video upload by DivKid and Befacosynth

"Here's Iroi from Befaco, which is the right hand side of Oneiroi standing alone at 18HP as a stereo atmospheric sound FX processor for Eurorack. There's improvements made and more processing headroom with Iroi and it offers stereo multimode filter, 3 band resonator, 2 tape delay and ambience reverb and reverse FX. Lots of CV, on board modulation and randomisation."

Press release follows:


"BEFACO's NEW MODULE: IROI

The Oneiroi, in Greek mythology, were dark-winged spirits of the night who emerged to bring dreams and nightmares to mortals. Our ambient synthesizer, Oneiroi, takes its name from them, evoking that shifting, dreamlike realm of sound.

​IROI is derived from 'Oneiroi' and carries that same essence forward, distilling it into something more compact and open to external signals, while preserving its cinematic feel that connects us to the world of dreams and the unknown.

What is IROI?

IROI is a stereo effects module based on the right half of the original Oneiroi. It applies Oneiroi’s sonic character to external sources in a more compact format, while incorporating subtle improvements developed throughout the Oneiroi project. Designed to shape, transform, and immerse sound, Iroi carries forward the dreamlike essence of its predecessor into a dedicated effects processor.

Audio Core: Powered by OWL mk3, featuring 24-bit 48 kHz stereo audio resolution (with 32-bit internal processing) and a full stereo signal path.

Filter: Multimode filter offering low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, and comb filtering, with flexible positioning within the effects chain.

Digital VCA.

Resonator: Three-band resonator with dedicated tune and feedback controls.

Delay: Two-tap echo (delay) with adjustable time and density.

Reverb: Comprehensive reverb effect with macro control over size, filtering, and direction.

Modulation: Various types of self-modulation, offering configurable routing and control over level and speed.

Control Voltage (CV): CV inputs for all primary parameters. Four of these inputs are dynamically assignable to secondary parameters.

Synchronization: External sync input supports clock speeds from 30 BPM to 300 BPM.

Randomization: Powerful randomizer with a flexible mapping system, including undo/redo functionality.

IROI is set to be released on April 30th, 2026 and the launching price will be 275€ (assembled version) and 210€ (DIY Kit).

Diving deep into Clock Bender, a novel trigger generator from ADDAC System

video upload by Perceptes and ADDAC System

"In this video, we'll be diving deep into Clock Bender, a new Eurorack module from ADDAC System that generates constantly changing trigger patterns from an input clock signal."


"This module introduces a unique approach to rhythm, it can add complexity to any pattern by superimposing extremely odd divisions creating syncopation and rhythmic complexity. It provides extensive possibilities for rhythmic creation, transforming static rhythmic patterns into dynamic and complex rhythmic layering enhancing the rhythmic foundation set by the primary clock. It allows users to explore and generate rhythms in previously unattainable ways.

The module operates by taking an input clock signal and generating two new independent outputs that dynamically accelerates or decelerates the BPM toward a user-defined destination BPM over a specified number of beats. Meaning that the output generation is never constant, they will always be dynamically accelerating or decelerating, where no interval between two pulses is the same, the current interval will always be shorter or longer than the previous interval.

This principle will generate unique metrics that when played against the main clock will create extremely unique patterns, from simple swing /syncopation to beyond free-jazz completely unexpected while mathematically justified metrics.

Tech Specs:
8HP
4.5cm deep
110mA on +12V
20mA on -12v"

Patching Exciting Modulation for Filters // FIRST PATCH with Swell from Bartola Instruments


video upload by DivKid



"Here we have the new Swell Eurorack filter and valve gain stage from Bartola Instruments. We'll be exploring this in the usual in depth DivKid demo style in the future but wanted to share our literal first patch playing around with saturating, character oozing valve distortion and filtering ... and in doing so, share some modulation tips about how we like to patch modulation, mixing sources and making things feel exciting and dynamic. I hope the patch notes below are useful and let us know what you'd like to see more of with Swell."

"*PATCH NOTES*

The simple bit first - AUDIO PATH - two saw wave oscillators, changing the octaves between them at points, mixed into 'Swell' and then output into some stereo FX for background ambience.

The modulation is where this gets exciting going into the FM input (which modules filter cut off frequency) is my main envelope, a simple decay envelope. Resonance is modulated by a step sequence (external attenuation is the key here). Then the v/oct input is used as a place to input a mix of modulation. The first is an accent envelope, patching a less dense gate rhythm into a second envelope and patching that into a mixer. Then outputting the mixer into the v/oct input of the filter. The second is then the same step sequence as the resonance.

So with the mixer into the v/oct and the FM input I have 3 modulation sources modulating the filter frequency - main envelope, accent envelope & step sequence.

Modules used - Thonk Synth VCO, Joranalogue Cycle 5, TINRS Next Tuesday, Making Sound Machines Multiplikand, Bartola Instruments Swell, WMD + Infrasonic Audio Cosmis Debris, Vostok Instruments Fuji, Apollo View IOU, Thonk Synth dual VCA.

THIS VIDEO IS SPONSORED BY BARTOLA INSTRUMENTS* they have funded the creation of this first patch video and future demo video with Swell. Any questions just ask."

Introducing Drum Farm by Knobula


video upload by knobula

Drum Farm is a Eurorack module dedicated to the cultivation and un-ethical treatment of drum sounds. It combines real-time drum synthesis, effect processes and sampling into a hands-on, multi-engine instrument, delivering up to four simultaneous voices and three effects at once."

Press release follows:


Knobula cultivates new ground in drum voice design with Drum Farm performance-focused Eurorack module

LONDON, UK: advanced modular synthesiser developer Knobula is poised to cultivate new ground with its upcoming Drum Farm Eurorack module — merging synthesis, sampling, and real-time effects into a single, hands-on instrument built for fast, intuitive sound design, empowering users to relentlessly sculpt, process, sample, and re-sample sounds grown from its wide range of virtual analogue and physically modelled drum and effects algorithms — readily representing the latest addition to its growing lineup of control-centric instruments embodying a no-screen, no-preset philosophy, as of April 21…

As an appropriate appellation, Drum Farm was inspired by Knobula Technical Director Jason Mayo’s background in computer animation, where vast ‘render farms’ generated thousands of realistic images with minimal human input; as a performance-focused Eurorack drum module occupying 24HP of rack space, it is organised into three core sections: a Drum Synth with 16 virtual analogue and physically modelled drum algorithms, an Effects engine offering 16 different realtime processes, and a digital Sampler with up to three playback voices — capturing the combined output of everything a creative user could conceivably do with it. By bringing all the essential building blocks together, Drum Farm allows for the creation of original sounds quickly and intuitively — whether shaping punchy kicks, layered snares, tuned percussion loops, cymbals, CV/Gate-controlled samples, or physically modelled drum membranes.

Moreover, Drum Farm’s onboard sampler can run automatically in the background, sampling into one of 16 sequential audio buffers. Ultimately, users can capture the drum synthesiser on its own or record hybrid combinations of synthesis, effects, and samples, which can themselves be resampled into richly layered percussion structures or loops. Additionally, an EXT (external) input opens the gate to the world of field recording or sampling directly from elsewhere in a Eurorack system and a row of CV and trigger inputs allows further influence to any assignable control, including the ability to switch samples, drum algorithms, or effect types on the fly.

Duly designed for fast, intuitive sound creation, Drum Farm positively encourages an immediate, iterative workflow — simply select a drum model, sculpt it, process it live through the effects, sample the result, blend it with another model, and repeat. As a result, complex and evolving sounds quickly emerge.

Embodying Knobula’s philosophy of promoting experimentation and tactile control reminiscent of classic real-world instruments, Drum Farm features no screens and no sub-menus. Instead, it is a performance-focused module that rewards hands-on exploration, invites happy accidents, and provides a fertile environment for sounds to flourish and grow.

It is possible to create fully hands-free generative patches, self-building sample libraries, or access to round-robin multi-samples since all controls are CV- or trigger-assignable via five CV/Gate inputs. Sensibly, sounds can be saved to a microSD card alongside a complete snapshot of the module itself, whereby buffers, knob positions, samples, and settings are stored together as a session — with up to 32 sessions per card — allowing users to return to their work, exactly where they left off. It is fair to say, therefore, that Drum Farm is always ready for both studio experimentation and live recall.

Thanks to Knobula cultivating new ground with Drum Synth, the relentless creation of drum parts in Eurorack has never been more immediate or rewarding. Attendees at London Synth & Pedal Expo 2026 may recognise the farm-themed product tease, with ‘alien cow abduction’ subsequently forming the core of Drum Farm’s promotional campaign video.

Shipping scheduled for June 2026, Drum Farm will be available to purchase — priced at £449.00 GBP (including VAT), with a choice of two faceplate colourways on offer — directly through the Knobula shop (https://www.knobula.com/shop), as well as via Knobula’s growing global network of resellers.

SEOK - PLUTNIK – Complex Dual VC-LFO [DEMO no talk]


video upload by SEOK synthesizers

"This is a pure modulation party in a small footprint. The Morph and Merge functions provide access to complex waveforms for a wide range of modulation. Distribute them across your rack via nine outputs.

Each LFO offers fast or slow cycling, with selectable square and triangle shapes. The fast cycles reach into audio territory at around 100 Hz, making it useful for percussive modulation and low-end movement. In slow mode, cycles extend up to ~35 seconds. With external negative CV, this can be pushed into the range of around 10 minutes.

Blend the LFO signals, or any external signals (including audio), in the Morph section. Or use the signals in the relational logic section, Merge, which opens up a wide set of derived waveforms by slicing, combining or rectifying. Pseudo waveshaping.

Designed and hand-built in Sweden."

New Blukač Fractalist - Sound Samples Ep. 1


video upload by Blukač Instruments

"In this sketch, we demonstrate how a pair of Fractalists is working together in a timbral progression.

The left one is responsible for the bass sound, where, with each iteration, the waveform is unfolded, becoming more and more complex and rich in harmonics.

It is also modulated a bit with a built-in LFO patched into the WARP input to add some movement.

The right one produces a percussive part. The actual base frequency is very low, and with a standard oscillator, there will be no sound or only a rumble. Here is a different story. As the generated waveform is very complex and contains a lot of harmonics, they become audible as rhythmic patterns.

With each iteration, this effect is more prominent. WARP is not modulated to have this specific pattern to be fixed, but if you were to change it, there are a lot of different patterns to look for. In future episodes, we will explore this in more detail.

Audio is intentionally captured raw, without any filters, VCAs, or effects."



via Perfect Circuit

Fractalist from Blukac is a unique digital oscillator that creates complex waveforms and rhythmic undulations using fractals, generating captivating sounds that evolve and grow into digital chaos. Start by selecting a core waveform, either triangle or trapezoidal, and expand its fractal dimension with the Iter control to create iterations on this shape, adding harmonics to the sound that bloom in digital bliss. Through all these fractal transformations, Fractalist's output maintains its periodicity, with a Frequency control that can be used to shift in octaves, semitones, or fine-tuned between notes. At low frequencies, Fractalist becomes an oddball rhythm machine, churning its mathematical movements in unique patterns according to the waveshape created through fractal expansion.

Select your desired degree of digital artifacting with the Alias switch, inviting or omitting the unique sounds of system failure as your harmonics grow beyond the bounds of Fractalist's digital structure, folding frequencies back on themselves for inharmonic results. The onboard Warp control can be used to further modulate the timbre of your sound, alongside dedicated inputs for frequency modulation and hard Sync. Finally, a saturating boost is available to add heat to the cold digital output, while a friendly adjustable LFO provides an onboard source for modulating Fractalist's bevy of CV inputs. With its unique synthesis engine and plentiful opportunities for creative patching in a broader Eurorack environment, Blukac's Fractalist is sure to expand your sound palette, and perhaps, your mind.

Arplus: Max Pluck for your Buck - Quantised Arpeggiated Karplus Strong Eurorack Module

via Perfect Circuit

The Arplus module from Zlosynth Instruments is a robust Karplus-Strong 6-voice resonator that gives you a bevy of musical scales at your fingertips. The Arplus works by selecting a particular chord based on the scale you select, stepping through the notes of that chord via the Trigger input and button. Use the Tone control to set the root note, and use the Chord control to select the particular chord. Both controls have corresponding CV inputs that let you create intricate sequences or melodic randomness. Choose from 31 different types of scales that include Western, Arabic, Indian, Japanese, and even quarter tones.

Internally, a burst of noise gets generated to create the sound, however, if you want more control over your noise bursts, an external input is available for you to patch in whatever you'd like. Use the String control to adjust how many virtual strings remain resonant after the trigger—up to 6 strings can resonate at a time allowing for soaring expanses of ambience and gorgeous clusters of notes. Sculpt the sound right on the module with a built-in filter, including resonance and cutoff, along with a Contour control that moves from short percussive bursts to long swells of washed texture.

Of course, no resonator would be complete without a stereo output, and the Arplus doesn't disappoint. Choose from three different stereo spreads: Ping Pong, which alternates voices between left and right, Root, which sends the Root to the Left and everything else to the Right, and Haas, which creates a stereo spread using the psychoacoustic Haas effect. The Arplus from Zlosynth is more than just your typical resonator, with an easy-to-read scale selector and a lovely sound that's sure to win over your heart and ears.

ARPLUS FEATURES

6 Voice Karplus-Strong resonator
External audio input for custom excitation sources
31 Different scales
Customizable chords up to 8 notes
CV-Controllable arpeggiator patterns

4/9/26 Metasonix RK7 RK2 RK8 + Beers Melakarta & DAC + ALM Pamela’s New Workout + Alesis MIDIVERB II


video upload by Cfpp0

This is the first post to feature the Beers Melakarta.

"Feeding the Beers DAC and Beers Melakarta several triggers from ALM Pamela’s New Workout, and then modulating the pitches of the two Metasonix RK7 VCOs and the CV on the Metasonix RK8 Filterwall. Gated reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II."



"The idea for this module came from my friend Rodrigo Kendrick. He was a bit burned out on western tonal structures, and had recently missed out on an electronic lehra machine in a facebook marketplace deal which fell through. These machines are a kind of practice tool for carnatic musicians that plays a wide variety of different raga. Think that 'casio auto-chord' function on old casio keyboards, but for carnatic music.

Unwilling to wait for another one to come up on the used market, he did some cursory research, and sent me an early-morning design document, expanding the functionality of DAC with a scheme of two rotary switches and one toggle switch to select the pitch sets for all 72 Melakarta ragas and specified a clock input that would run up and down the selected raga in ascending then descending order, with the ability to turn around or reset on command. In theory this would allow the complex rhythmic and sequence rules of the raga to be implemented with external logic and sequencers, but still give the module enough sequencing functionality to explore the pitch sets of these raga on it's own.

I got excited and went a bit silly 'helping' until we had shoehorned in a pile of other features like binary addressability of the selected swara (interval), gate outputs for each swara, an 'inhibit' input that mutes the transposition voltage while the clock continues in the background, CV controlled halving of the clock frequency, extra +1oct input, and the logic-inverting toggle switches from the DAC on several inputs.

This design is all analogue using discrete MOSFETs and 0.1% tolerance resistors in a weighted DAC driven by a 4000-series CMOS based sequencer.

Yes, it might have been simpler to use a microcontroller."

Déjà vu: Flexible Fader Control for Audio & CV│Bastl Instruments


video upload by Bastl Instruments

"Bastl Déjà vu is a Swiss knife for your Eurorack System that adds fader control to your modular system for many scenarios. It stands out as a simple yet powerful utility module that can do crossfading, mixing, signal boosting, voltage processing, attenuation or attenuversion. All that in 4HP and with the possibility to chain several of them to mix even more signals."



Powerful Voltage Utility module for voltage processing, attenuation, signal boosting, crossfading, and mixing

Déjà vu adds fader control to your modular system and it stands out as a simple yet powerful utility module that can do voltage processing, mixing, attenuation, attenuversion, signal boosting, crossfading and mixing.

All that in 4HP and with the possibility of chaining several units to mix even more signals.

SWISS KNIFE FOR YOUR RACK

Déjà vu has two almost identical channels A and B. Each channel has the FADER input and the ADD input and an output with light indication. The FADER MODE switch alters the behavior of the module, either attentuating or attenuverting the FADER input where the ADD input will be added to the processed FADER input. The last option is crossfading between the FADER Input and the ADD input which is great for creating performance oriented macro controls.
