"88Emu emulates the hardware inside most Sound Canvas modules and related earlier sound generators, used for retro gaming and DTM. It runs the original firmware on emulated CPUs and sound chips, including the firmware’s instrument selection, voice allocation, effects, MIDI handling and front-panel behavior. You supply the ROM images; they are not included.

88EmuPlayer is NOT a DAW-compatible plugin, but instead a standalone application for playing MIDI files and using those devices from a MIDI keyboard, sequencer or game. 88EmuCli uses the same emulation to render files to WAV offline using a command line interface, without having to wait for the song to play in real time."

Meet RAVIK — 8 Voices, 24 Engines & Generative Drum Sequencing

video upload by Våld Labs

"RAVIK is an eight-voice drum synthesizer from Våld Labs, built for everything from focused electronic drums to metallic, resonant and unpredictable percussion.

Every channel has its own synthesis engine, VEKTE-based algorithmic sequencer, pitch settings, modulation and effects. Build a kit, give each voice a rhythm, then explore how the parts interact.

Its 24 engines cover familiar drum sounds alongside FM, physical models, and uncoventional engines such as resonators, SID, bytebeat, GENDYN, VOSIM and more.

SEM and proprietary Polivoks-inspired filters provide another way to shape each voice, while SNAP controls the impact at the start of a hit.

The Far Reaches of the Envelope／Hikari Instruments Triple AD #modularsynth #モジュラーシンセ

video upload by MY FIRST SYNTH TOKYO

"I made some beats and generated noise using only the Hikari Instruments Triple AD.

The Triple AD features standard envelope mode and cycling mode, and can also be controlled by incoming trigger (voltage) timing.

By combining its LFO and envelope functions, you can enjoy a full performance with just this single module.

It’s easily the worst—and coolest—way to use an envelope module imaginable!
#eurorack #eurorackmodular #envelope"

Triple AD from Hikari Instruments provides three independent Attack/Decay envelope generators in an uncommonly tiny Eurorack footprint. Each of the envelopes has a dedicated trigger input and an output.

All envelopes can be set to self-cycling mode either manually via a switch or using control voltage or gate signals sent into the cycle input jack, extending the module's utility into LFO-like territory. Additionally, above each of the outputs, there is a 3-position range switch, enabling access to envelope times from 0.2 ms to eight seconds in length.

Triple AD Features

Three AD envelopes

Per-channel cycle mode may be activated manually or momentarily set via CV/Gate

Definable envelope duration from 0.2ms - 8s

Gator Legio: Stereo supersaw PM oscillator on the Legio platform

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Gator Legio is a stereo supersaw oscillator inspired by the Manis Iteritas Alia core, with piles of detuned saws, phase modulation, and plenty of stereo movement.

Get a Legio module and swap to this firmware today:
https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Let's start with Detune. This spreads the saw voices apart in pitch, taking your sound from a tight unison to a huge, dense, swarm of saws.

Saw Mod changes the character of those waves, giving you another way to push the harmonics with that classic Noise Engineering sound.

Then there's Saw Count. This switch changes the number of saw waves in the swarm.

And since Gator is stereo, the Stereoness switch spreads those voices across the stereo field for an even wider sound.

The inputs are for phase modulation. Feed in another oscillator and you can take that supersaw into much stranger territory.

And send a gate to the 8vA input and Gator instantly jumps up an octave, giving you another fun way to animate a sequence.

Gator is one of several synth voices available for Legio. You'll also find AT, Plus, Unda, Reso, and plenty of completely different percussion voices and effects to swap in over USB.

23 Firmwares.One Legio.

VAEMI Releases Its First Plug-in: R2R Ladder for VCV Rack

Press release follows:

"The hardware R2R Ladder Eurorack module is now available as a free virtual module, marking the first release in VAEMI’s expanding software line.

Istanbul, Türkiye – September 2026 – Istanbul-based electronic musical instrument manufacturer VAEMI – Volt Age Electronic Musical Instruments has released its first plug-in and first software product: R2R Ladder for VCV Rack. The new virtual module is a software adaptation of VAEMI’s physical R2R Ladder Eurorack module, preserving the original hardware’s bidirectional architecture and core musical concept. The plug-in is available free of charge through the official VCV Library.

Inspired by the fundamental architecture of an R-2R digital-to-analog converter, R2R Ladder uses eight weighted connections representing eight binary bits. Together, these provide 256 possible binary combinations, opening up a wide range of applications for audio, CV, gates, modulation and waveform processing.

The module can operate in two directions.

Clave Euclidian Drum Machine by Oficina de Sonido

CLAVE. Euclidean Drum Machine - Quick Start

video upload by Oficina de Sonido

via Kickstarter

"Clave, Ecuclidean Drum Machine lets you intuitively play rhythmic patterns that complement and syncopate with one another. Prepare your compositions across 16 steps and 8 sample tracks by saving different versions or parts, and refine your performance with the included effects and filter. All in a single, lightweight, and portable unit. It comes with 5 factory-installed drum kits and has space for you to add your own.

It’s based on what’s known as Euclidean Rhythms, which describes the distribution of beat intervals. It sounds complicated, but that’s exactly what makes the system simple. The best part is that you’re not limited to using the automatic distribution system, you can also program it step-by-step, 'XOX' just like any other drum machine.

In our musical quest to create a hybrid sound that blends electronic music with organic rhythms, we have collaborated with percussionists, designed our own synths and drum machines, programmed digital instruments, and even built electromechanical percussions!

This campaign is to introduce our new drum machine to the world; we already have a couple of working prototypes. We need your support to be able to produce the first batch of machines. This is already our fourth project on Kickstarter—we hope we can crowdfund this one, too!"

DevOcean Modular | MIDI Effects Chord Generator and Arpeggiator Chain #modularsynth #sounddesign

video upload by Ocean Swift / Faxi Nadu

Press release follows:

"Ocean Swift has released version 1.2 of DevOcean Modular, its modular synthesis and sound design platform. The update adds thirty-five modules, headed by a complete MIDI effects section - Chord Generator, Scale Enforcer, Strummer, Random Notes, MIDI Delay, Velocity Processor and Humanizer - which operate on note data rather than audio.

A second group unbundles functionality that previously lived inside larger multimode modules. Compressor and Limiter, Bracket EQ, RBJ Multimode Filter, the AD, AHD and ADSR envelopes and the Display family are now also available as single-purpose modules, carrying fewer controls to wire and to expose.

The Capsule Manager, which lets a builder give any patch a custom front panel and compile it into a shareable .osmodule file, gains sprite and font skinning, hyperlink labels, styled input and output labels, and exposable XY and sample views that can act as drop targets. The release also includes performance work across undo, the browser and canvas polling, plus new tutorials and factory content.

DevOcean Modular 1.2 is available now for 35% off at €129.99

The demo is the full instrument - every module and preset, no time limit, saving disabled."
