Tangible Waves Introduces WAEVE82 - Polyphonic Wavetable Oscillator in PPG Blue

"The WAEVE82 is not only a polyphonic wavetable oscillator, but actually a complete 8-voice polysynth! It combines the unmistakable charm of early digital wavetable instruments with a modern, performance-oriented workflow and a clear, page-based interface that invites exploration.

Its conceptual DNA is inspired by the PPG Wave 2 synthesizers of the 1980s — iconic instruments known for glassy timbres, animated spectra, and futuristic character.

Yet, the WAEVE82 is far from being a clone.

It draws inspiration from that lineage but follows its own path, with a unique audio engine, expanded modulation options, modern randomization tools, and a streamlined interface tailored for the AE modular format.

At its core, WAEVE82 provides:
· Two independent wavetable oscillators, with 64 internal wavetables plus support for external tables loaded from micro-SD card.
· Three envelopes and four LFOs, each with defined primary and secondary roles; LFOs can be free-running or tempo-synced
· An extensive modulation matrix, enabling both traditional and experimental routing.
· Dual operating modes:

Flame Maander-M Desktop Eurorack Wavetable Synth

A few pics via CONTROL

New version demo here, previous version in white here.

Details:

"A Streamlined Classic! Mäander-M Wavetable Synth with Analog Filterbank & Sequencer

The Flame MÄANDER-M is a compact reimagining of a well-regarded classic from the Flame lineup — now more affordable and streamlined, but still packed with the same sonic depth. At its core is a wavetable synth engine, fed into the 12-channel analog bandpass filter bank, controlled by the internal pattern sequencer.

Sound sources include a polyphonic wavetable and FM oscillator, an analog white noise generator and an external audio input. The internal sequencer offers one polyphonic note track (up to 4-voice chords) and 14 mono tracks. The latter are dedicated to the filter channels, the audio input, and the noise source. Each track has its own VCA with individual envelope control and is accessible via MIDI notes.

Patterns can be created and saved as patches, and played live with ease. The built-in arpeggiator and keyboard scaler make the MÄANDER a powerful tool for live jamming and generative sequencing. Updates, patch management, and wavetable loading are handled conveniently via MIDI SysEx.

New in this version: direct oscillator output, stereo noise output, and stereo audio input. Mäander comes fully mounted in a powered 56HP wooden skiff to get started right away.

The Mäander module comes with a custom-made 56HP Eurorack case. Consisting of black anodised aluminium half-shells with wooden side panels, the case has a desk-style design. It includes a built-in power supply (+5V, +12V and -12V, each with an output current of 500 mA) and a plug-in power supply (9–18 V, 18 W), and can therefore also be used as a separate Eurorack case with other modules. The case is manufactured entirely in Germany, and the elegant wooden side panels are crafted from locally sourced wood, including cherry and elm."

Introducing Granulita Versio: Granular chord resynthesizer and shimmer reverb

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Meet Noise Engineering’s chord machine, Granulita Versio.

LIMITED QUANTITIES AVAILABLE: Get your Granulita here: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

This granular chord resynthesizer takes your audio, slices it into grains, and reconstructs it into chords, clusters, and shifting harmonies. Paired with a shimmering reverb that adds glowing tails and angelic overtones, Granulita can turn even a single oscillator into something lush, cinematic, or beautifully haunted.

Granulita is part of the Versio platform, so once you’ve got your hands on this module, you can swap the firmware with any other Versio effect for free. Unpower the module, plug in the USB, and visit noiseengineering.us to make the swap.

Press release follows:

Noise Engineering announces Granulita Versio, a granular chord resynthesizer and shimmering reverb.

Contact: kris@noiseengineering.us

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their innovative platform modules, has released Granulita Versio, a granular chord resynthesizer and shimmering reverb.

Granulita Versio offers a simple solution to a complex modular problem. Chords, while beautiful, are difficult and resource-heavy to patch in a Eurorack system. Granulita solves this by generating harmonies for any input signal using a unique granular process. The Chord and Voice parameters allow the user to choose a chord and the note that follows the input signal.

The unquantized Pitch parameter adds an extra layer of harmonic options via transposition, detuning or vibrato.

For fans of granular processing, the Count and Length parameters will be familiar, Granulita can generate any number of grains from zero to 32, and grains can be 16 milliseconds to four seconds long. A modal trigger input and manual button add to the granular fun: freeze grains, sync their playback to an external clock or tap tempo, or use a trigger sequence to manually fire off grain playback.

No granular module would be complete without some atmospheric effects, so Granulita also adds the simple Verb parameter to add in some space. Below noon, small echoes put a patch in a realistic space – but turn up the parameter to add in shimmering octave overtones and feedback into infinity.

Part of the flexible Versio platform, Granulita will be available as an alternate firmware for all Versio owners, completely free, at the Noise Engineering firmware app. However, Granulita breaks the mold with a limited-edition hardware release: only 100 Granulita Versios with exclusive art will be produced, the perfect purchase for collectors or, perhaps, as a holiday gift for the granular enthusiast in your life.

Granulita Versio’s limited run starts December 11th at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.

Features
● Turn a monophonic signal into a full chord with ease
● Easily create gentle or ominous timbres from any input
● Modulate between 16 resynthesized chord shapes using the CV-controllable Chord and Voice parameters
● Use Count and Length to change the number and size of grains
● Add subtle atmosphere or shimmering, infinite reverb with the Verb parameter
● Create massive soundscapes or use external triggers to fire or freeze grains
● Play grains forwards, backwards, or in random directions

Availability and pricing:
Granulita Versio: Limited run in stock. Shipping from Noise Engineering and retailers starting December 11th, 2025; MSRP US$393

Ear Modular Introduces 暮秋 The End of Fall

video uploads by Ear Modular



"The End Of Fall is a feedback-filled effects unit in a 40hp Eurorack format.

By adding two expansion boards and replacing the front panel, it can be reconfigured as a standalone device.

The core of The End Of Fall consists of two ladder filters and two echo effects. The signal chain routes Filter A to Echo 1 and Filter B to Echo 2, with their outputs mixed together for the final output. Each filter features a CV control input for cutoff frequency, while each echo has a CV control input for delay time.

At first glance, this may seem like a basic setup, but The End Of Fall offers much more. It is filled with various feedback pathways:
​
1. Internal feedback within each filter, from output back to input, creates a resonator capable of self-oscillation.
​
2. The internal feedback within each echo is essential for creating the echo effect; excessive feedback results in endlessly decaying echoes.
​
3. The output of Filter A is fed back into the input of Filter B, and vice versa. This design was inspired by experiments during the creation of Solar Card Type VII, where it produced unexpectedly complex and intriguing sounds on the card. This concept has been adapted for The End Of Fall.
​
4. The output of Echo 1 is fed back into the inputs of both Filter A and Filter B, and similarly, the output of Echo 2 is fed back into the inputs of both filters. These two global feedback loops transform The End Of Fall into a circular structure without a clear front or back end, allowing sounds to intertwine within this loop.
​
Additional design features:
​
1. Each filter and each echo has its own dedicated input. When feedback is not utilized, the feedback pathways serve as internal bridges, enabling various signal routing configurations such as echo to filter, filter to echo, echo to echo (for multi-tap delays), or filter to filter (for multi-stage filtering). With expansions, outputs can be taken from the end of any effect, allowing the unit to be used as a stereo effects processor.
​
2. The End Of Fall includes a noise source with two functions: it supplies audio to the inputs of both filters, and it serves as an oscillation source for generating internal CV signals.
​
The unit features four internal CV sources, each assigned to one of the four effects. When no external CV is present, these internal CVs provide randomly varying control voltages. If an external CV is connected, the corresponding internal CV is disconnected. These four internal CV signals are generated by sample-and-hold circuits sampling the noise source. Four knobs in the upper-right corner independently control the sample intervals of these circuits, introducing chaotic and unpredictable modulation. A CLK input can interfere with these four sample-and-hold circuits, partially synchronizing them while maintaining an underlying chaos.

There is a slight background noise from The End Of Fall when there is no output, but it does not affect normal use.​​​​​​​​​​"

Zebra 3 Modulation Graph WIP

video upload by Urs Heckmann

"Here's a visualisation of Zebra 3 modulation graph. (This is not gonna be in the final UI, certainly not like it is now...)

So there are 24 modules (4 LFOs, 4 envs, 4 MSEGs...) which have parameters that themselves are subject to modulations. These modulations can be directly assigned modulators, e.g. triggers in the envelope, or assignments via the Mod Matrix.

Now the problem: Whatever gets modulated by something else needs to be processed after. So first the source, then the target. Cool. But sometimes modules can modulate each other, or create circular structures. Circular routings create latency, and that needs to be minimised.

In order to solve that issue we implemented and modified classic dependency graphs so that circular sections have a minimum of circularity. What you see in this video is a visualisation of such a minimised circular structure with as minimal latency as possible."
