"Burg is a great way to start with modular synthesis and plugging in patchcables ;) It provides you with all necessary tools to start your modular journey now. It is a standalone synth voice, complex multi FX processor, controller for external gear or all at once. The perfect companion to any setup, if you already have modular stuff, wanna connect with instruments or other gear. It can work for many different musical approaches and creative processes, it bridges between the analog modular world and external gear. The unique combination of circuits let you customize your desired sound in all analogue ways.
18 individual and characterful modules allow you to explore beautiful and weird interactions. You can easily create dynamic melodies, harmonic drones, weird noises and outer space sound effects. If you plug-in an instrument, a microphone, your favorite tunes or the internal sounds, it is easy to modulate any signal with a crispy filter (wasp-style), a wavefolder, some heavy distortion and a double delay to glitch your mind away. With 55 patching points in total, possible combinations are almost endless. The intuitive touchpad interface gives easy control over multiple CV and gate signals at the same time and is the main modulation source of the Burg system.
Two light dependent controllers guarantee a unique behavior and can be modified easily according to your needs or for experiments. Also other modules can be modified by exchanging components on the back plate, so customizing the frequency range of the oscillators/LFOs or shaping your individual clipping distortion with different types of diodes is possible.
There are two power bus connectors on the backplate so Burg can be used as a power supply for other eurorack modules as well. The internal power supply can be powered with USB-C (barrel jack) from 9V to 18V (center positive) and can work as a power supply for small modular racks using a flying bus cable."

"This is your official introduction to the Neutral Labs Luna - a new lunetta-style “groovebox” desktop & eurorack compatible synth. It’s patch programmable, letting you both create tones and rhythms from 5 oscillators (2 with step sequencers inside), logic and pattern generators, all at the same time. Three 'LPG's take the raw tones and let you gate and filter them. 13 effects in 2 blocks effect and shape sounds further.
Enormous thanks to Martin at Neutral Labs for commissioning me to make a vid of this. The world needs more shift registers. Note: I used my own red Tiptop Audio Stackcables in the video, but the desktop module comes with 12 braided patch cables."
Neutral Labs Luna – the first serious Lunetta synthesizer
"Join us for an exploration of what Lunetta Synthesizers are, what the new Luna from Neutral Labs is and why you should care.
The short answer is that it’s an interesting series of raw digital building blocks from a sonic sculptor (Stanley Lunetta) with lots of modern quality of life features that allow you to approach timbre as rhythm, rhythm as timbre then round that out with low pass gates and FX.

"Logic, Unbound. Meet Luna. The first serious Lunetta synthesizer.
Look beyond clean waveforms and predictable polyphony. Luna will take you back to a time when digital didn’t mean perfect. It meant raw. Inspired by the subterranean DIY culture of the 70s and 80s, Luna is a love letter to the Lunetta machines of old: Living, breathing organisms built from CMOS logic chips. But where those machines were fragile experiments, Luna is a weaponized instrument of sonic confusion.
The Nervous System Exposed. True to the Neutral Labs philosophy, we don’t believe in hiding the magic behind an opaque face plate. Luna features exposed CMOS inputs and outputs right on the front panel. You're not just patching cables, you are rewiring the brain of the synthesizer itself. Combine signals, bend logic, and physically intervene in the computation to create sounds that shouldn't exist.
Rhythm is Timbre. Timbre is Rhythm. In the world of Luna, there is no difference between a sequencer and an oscillator. The same digital pulse that drives a bass line can be accelerated into a screeching lead or folded into a metallic drone.
5 oscillators provide the raw material. A chaotic array of logic blocks (XOR, NOT, AND, shift registers, counters, multiplexer) will chew up those signals and spit out complex, evolving mathematical noise.
Taming the Digital Mess. Raw logic can be harsh. To turn this binary chaos into music, Luna feeds its digital soul through 3 organic low-pass gates. These analog circuits impart a natural decay and percussive punch to the madness, transforming mathematical errors into bongos, plucks, and thumping basslines.
Drench it in Atmosphere. Once you’ve constructed your signal, destroy it again. Luna comes equipped with a suite of effects — distortion, delay, reverb, chorus, bitcrusher, phaser and more — to smear your logic into a wash of ambient bliss or gritty industrial texture.
5 oscillators logic gates (2 XOR, 2 NOT, 2 AND) 5 logic blocks (5-step ring counter,4-bit binary counter, 2 shift registers, 4-channel multiplexer) 3 touchpads that generate logic signals 3 channels for audio manipulation (low-pass gates with adjustable decay and switchable trigger mode, gain, tilt EQ) 13 audio effects that can be freely assigned to 2 effect slots running in series (drive, delay, reverb, 6 filter types, bitcrusher, phaser, chorus, comb filter) CV control for effects and 2 oscillators MIDI control over 2 oscillators, all 3 low-pass gates, and 3 logic outputs (MIDI TRS A socket) 2 sequencers with up to 64 steps, syncable to clock or MIDI audio output is headphone compatible available as a desktop synth or 42 HP Eurorack module (desktop version comes with a 12-pack of black/gold braided patch cables) See more videos and photos on Instagram.
Note: For sustainability reasons, the desktop version does not come with a USB power supply, just a USB-A to USB-C cable. You will need a 5V supply, such as a phone charger, power bank or laptop.
Note: The desktop version has a Eurorack power header and can be placed into a Eurorack. The desktop case however has 5V USB power and no Eurorack rails, you cannot use it as a 42 HP rack without modifications."

"The ADDAC320 Servo Control by ADDAC System, a module that converts incoming CV into physical movement, allowing you to automate any knob that doesn’t have a CV input by mechanically turning it!"
0:00 Intro
0:22 How to set it up
1:30 Minimum and Maximum angle
1:48 Patch example
"At ADDAC we always admired the geniality of Neil Young’s Whizzer, way ahead of it’s time, a great example how great ingenuity and engineering can come together to make something great. Inspired by it’s motor controlled method we created a 4HP solution to control any knob that doesn’t have a CV input, while also possible to use for other gear as well (within certain distance constraints).
We use a Servo motor which is a specific type of motor that can be digitally controlled to go to a precise angle. This motor is controlled by a microcontroller that also receives an incoming CV voltage from 0 to +5v and lineary converts this voltage range to the 270 degree Servo motor range.
Using a spring wire and metal couplers the motor shaft is then attached to the target knob to be controlled which will turn as the Servo turns.
Two other knobs [MAXIMUM ANGLE] & [MINIMUM ANGLE] further allow to control the “sweet spot” of the target knob, setting a smaller Servo range.
Raising the [MIN ANGLE] knob above the [MAX ANGLE] knob inverts the Servo range.
We can't stress enough how important it is to read the whole User's Guide thoroughly for this one!"

Micro Dozer LOMP – Eurorack Sound Source (Limited Edition) The Micro Dozer is a raw and expressive Eurorack sound source designed for drums, noise textures, and experimental oscillator work. Compact but powerful, it invites hands-on interaction and unconventional patching. 🔊 Sound Engine At its core, Micro Dozer features a unique noise-based engine with fine micro-sparkle textures. It can range from aggressive, gritty noise to ultra-sensitive, ASMR-like sonic detail. Perfect for percussion, glitches, textures, and unstable oscillator tones. 🥁 Built-in Lo-Pass Gate The integrated lo-pass gate allows you to shape percussive sounds instantly. • Use a trigger for tight drum hits • Use a gate for longer, evolving tones This makes Micro Dozer equally at home as a drum voice or experimental sound generator. ✋ Interactive Control Micro Dozer is designed to be touched and played: • Two switches activate light-sensitive sensors that control oscillator offset • Touch interaction under the switches alters the sound in organic ways • Patch directly into the touch points for external influence • Fully CV controllable The large knobs are extremely sensitive — even the smallest movement creates significant sonic changes. The parameters are interdependent, encouraging exploration and performance-based tweaking. For even more interaction, you can stretch an elastic band between the knobs to manipulate multiple parameters at once, creating complex evolving modulations. 🎛 Performance-Oriented Design • Highly responsive controls • CV control over key parameters • Designed for live experimentation • Raw, unpredictable character 🎥 Demo Check out the demonstration video to hear the full range of textures and performance possibilities.
"Scale Snap generates random but scale-accurate note patterns of up to 16 steps. You choose the key/scale, root note, number of steps, and how “jumpy” the pattern feels. It also includes a chord/'Strainer' mode that locks notes to triad tones (random-only, ascending, or descending).
Connections include clock in, 1V/Oct CV out (0–5V), reset to step 1, and a random trigger/button. Controls let you set root, select from multiple scales (chromatic, major, minor modes, pentatonics, etc.), and adjust a parameter that switches between probability of change, octave range, and step count. The display shows step progress, current parameter values, root/scale name, and a scale grid with the active note highlighted."

"BOUNCE One-Shot Event Generator
This is a compact event generator built for percussive envelopes, bouncing modulations and rhythmic control signals.
Bounce creates trigger-driven one-shots with a set of 8 distinct waveforms selectable via the large control knob. From sharp, click-like hits to softer, rounded contours. This offers fast access to clearly different envelope characters.
Repeat function with a ”bouncing ball” effect, making the bounces naturally fade within the cycle.
The length control sets the length of the waveform while repeats add repetitions of the wave, and delay sets the time between those waves.
These features in combination makes it easy to move from single tight envelopes to rolls, flams, clustered impacts and creative rhythmic patterns.
All main parameters got CV-inputs. A dedicated inverted output adds instant polarity flip.
Background
We like techno. For us its about solid kicks with defined transients and a fundamental low end that moves air without collapsing the mix.
Bounce is built to be performative and work at the source. By shaping events, accents and repetitions already at the control stage – it lets the mix breathe and leaves space where it matters most. Perfect for basslines, drums and transients."

"Djupviks Elektronik's Bunker Archaeology II is a Eurorack "bunker simulator" - an overdriven digital reverb feeding a frequency-driven tremolo circuit. Inspired by Paul Virilio's photographic documentation of the abandoned Atlantic Wall fortifications, it's lo-fi, grainy, and full of character.
The MkII addresses the rough edges of the original: a proper wasp-style filter with resonance and CV control, CV over feedback, a rebuilt static circuit that actually responds across its full range, and a clock output for those irregular rhythms.
This isn't your pristine shimmer reverb. If you want transmissions from a crumbling concrete structure on the Normandy coast, this is the territory.

According to guyd2, the Model 416.3 Meta Expander is:
"A sophisticated, stand-alone expansion unit for the Buchla Music Easel.
Contains several dedicated modules : Comparators, Dividers, Boolean, VC Slew Limiter, S/H & Noise, analog ultrastable VCO/LFO, advanced Mixer w/ Comparator, and an 8-step Sequencer.
Also expands on the 208 CV I/O's, pulses I/O and Switch inputs."
The electronics for this module were conceived by the brilliant mind of Yves Usson. It is a new kind of module, quite different from what one usually finds in a modular synthesizer.
The Animator (temporary name, we need to find a better one) will generate a modulated mix of four waveforms of different pitches and types from a simple external sawtooth wave.
This module is a real achievement because it is 100% analog. It will be available in the next SynTesla 5U systems."
"I'm a sucker for anything with lots of cross modulation. The Iguanamente has that in spades, plus it's got a unique delay built into the audio path that makes for even more craziness.
They say: 'Iguanamente is a chaotic oscillator designed to provide a Eurorack modular synthesizer with a unique and creative sound source that is suitable for percussion, noise, leads, basses, drones, and everything in between.'
Sounds about right.
This is pretty much all just the module. There is some reverb there for space, but that's it.

This is the first post to feature the Iguanamente!
The Iguanamente from System Lizard is a chaotic dual oscillator built around a cross modulating oscillator and delay network. Thanks to a keen and comprehensive array of timbre and modulation controls, Iguanamente readily stretches across musical terrain, wagging its reptilian tail between percussion, texture, and melodic applications alike. At the top of the panel, Coarse frequency control sets the fundamental frequency of the system, with dedicated 1V/octave and FM inputs for adjusting frequency via CV. The Radius control manipulates the spread of auxiliary oscillators, allowing for a wide range of inharmonic and harmonic timbral expansion. Shape controls the waveshape of all oscillators, hard clipping into a square wave to the left of center and wavefolding to the right.
These oscillators are then processed through a delay network, with controls for Feedback, delay time or Frequency, and a Mix control. At the bottom of the module, cross modulation controls and CV inputs for oscillator frequency modulation, oscillator amplitude modulation, and delay time allow you to introduce nonlinear modulations into Iguanamente, sparking unique and chaotic changes in timbre. At the top right corner of the module, independent outputs for the Main and Auxiliary oscillators offer independent post processing potential or serve as a pseudo-stereo output. If you're looking for a flexible oscillator with unique character and a taste for chaos, Iguanamente from System Lizard is a righteously fun reptile for any rack.

"The Fieldtone Weaver is a two-second sampler with a single knob, no undo, and no going back. Now it's in eurorack.
Weaver captures two seconds of audio - via the built-in microphone or audio input - and instantly randomises it into evolving loops, rhythms, and textures. Every turn of the knob generates a completely new variation. Nothing saves, nothing recalls. It's the ultimate happy accidents machine.
The modular version adds individual level control for three loop elements, trigger outputs that double as a random rhythm generator, a pitch switch, clock sync, and CV control - which works differently to what you might expect. I go into detail on all of this.

A few pics and details on Weaver Eurorack:
Weaver Modular from Fieldtone is a Eurorack format version of the highly in demand Weaver handheld sampler that featured in music tech tastemaker Andrew Huang’s year round up as his Favourite Desktop FX module of 2024. The modular edition builds on the functionality of the original by adding a variety of additional control.
The Weaver is no ordinary audio sampler, it is a meditation on impermanence and chance. With a single, enigmatic knob, it embraces randomness as an artistic principle, reconfiguring two-second sound bites into hypnotic loops and evolving textures. There is no undo button, no way back once a sound is captured; the Weaver insists that you move forward, shaping the unpredictable into rhythm or texture with nothing more than a twist of the wrist or control voltage change.
New functionality on the device includes separate level controls of different elements of the loop, as well as 3 x trigger outputs which turns the device into a random rhythm generator for which you don't even need to be using the sampling capabilities. You can trigger the Recording start via CV, allowing you to keep replacing the sample whilst the loop continuously plays - something that works beautifully with acoustic sound sources such as guitar or voice, as well as electronics. A switch has also been added to select between Random or Root note sympathetic pitch playback.
Features:
Single-knob audio sampler focussed on randomness and exploration
Capture sound via built-in microphone or input jack
Fixed two-second sample time
No undo function, every knob movement generates a new loop
External sync via Clock input
Stereo output on separate L&R sockets with rich spatial movement
Separate level controls for 3 different elements of the loop
3 x gate outputs for triggering other sources
Toggle to switch between Texture and Rhythm modes
Toggle to switch between Root or Random pitch
Gate/trigger input to control Recording start
Gate/trigger input to control Weaver knob
Can be used as random rhythm generator without needing to use the sampler
"Tom takes a look at Smear, the debut module from Smoothie Audio. It’s a dual stereo 98-pole allpass filter, and it’s capable of some pretty mind-bending spectral effects.
"We say... It's not often that we come across something genuinely new and innovative in Eurorack these days, but Smear is just that - a pair of stereo 98-pole all-pass filters that open up all sorts of strange sonic territory. Brilliant!
Manufacturer's description Smear is Smoothie Audio’s first Eurorack module - a dual stereo 98-pole allpass filter unlike anything else in your rack.
At its core, Smear takes a deceptively simple concept - the allpass filter, usually buried deep inside reverb algorithms — and refines it into a playable, sculptural processor. A single allpass subtly shifts the phase of incoming audio while passing the entire signal unfiltered. Stack 98 poles in series, and the effect becomes striking: frequencies across the spectrum are delayed by different amounts, creating a rich spectral delay that can smear, morph, and transform sound.
Smear can be become different effects, according to how you set the parameters:
Transient Smearing & Spectral Delay that reshapes transients, can add punch Resonator & Percussion Voice for metallic, physical-modeling tones when pushed into feedback territory Morphing filter & Phasor for animated timbral movement Interface & Controls
The panel is laid out symmetrically, with two identical sections (Left and Right). By default, stereo audio flows left → right → out, but a dedicated Split Mode allows each side to process audio independently.
Each section offers three core parameters — Frequency, Resonance, and Stages — each with dedicated CV inputs. Frequency and Resonance have attenuverters for precise modulation. A global Feedback control (with CV) unlocks resonant, flanger-like, and physical-modeling behaviors.
The Stage sliders reveal Smear’s hidden depth: with LEDs indicating crossfade modes between filter poles, you can dive into complex notch filtering, animated flams, and evolving timbral movement. Modulate them, and the module comes alive with unpredictable, dynamic filtering effects.
Built on the Daisy platform by Electrosmith CV inputs -5V to 5V 48kHZ sampling rate"
