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

Tight industrial jam by Stephen McCaul of Noise Engineering


video upload by Noise Engineering

"Here's a tight industrial jam by Noise Engineering's Chief Noisemaker Stephen McCaul.

The bottom case is a six voice case with Incus Iteritas Alia (2), Debel Iteritas Alia, Tymp Legio, Manis Iteritas Alia, Virt Iter Legio + Ampla Legio.

There is a Librae Legio for the percussion submix (paralleling the main mix) and an Electus Versio on a send. The rhythm sequencing is from an experimental prototype that isn't really product worthy.

Pitch sequencing comes from Opp Ned. And the Xer Mixa mixer ties it all together.

The top case is an effects rig for another project but i used a Fala Versio and a Yester Versio in that case for some additional effects.

Using Stuff Wrong: Patching with Mimetic Digitwolis


video upload by Noise Engineering

0:14 Setting up steps
0:28 Sample and Hold
1:40 Clock Division and Generation
2:55 Random Pitch Generator

In this walkthrough, we’re “using stuff wrong” in the best way possible, taking Mimetic Digitwolis far beyond sequencing. Today we explore three creative patches that didn’t make the manual, but absolutely deserve a place in your rack.

You’ll learn how to turn MD2 into:
• A sample and hold, using external CV and triggers
• A clock divider or MIDI-to-analog clock converter
• A random pitch generator, inspired by classic Source of Uncertainty tricks

We’ll walk through setup, mappings, and patching step-by-step, with screen views and module closeups.

Whether you’re using MD2 as your main sequencer or as a multifunction utility, these techniques open up a new world of modulation, randomness, and timing tricks.

More MD2 resources:
• Generative sequencing
• Configuration & workflow
• MIDI integration
• Firmware updates

Aggression Therapy | Looking for mean and vicious sounds in Eurorack


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"The word 'aggression' is used in this video to express a certain quality of sound and music. It's not indended and should not be associated with any form of violence. In music, it can emphasize the emotion or reveal what's happening in an actor's mind. It's an element of storytelling. Use it wisely.

For some reason, people love aggressive sounds and we wouldn't be having heavy metal, noise muisic and industrial grunge without it. Some brands, not calling names, specialize in it. So I've been thinking. Does an 'aggressive' VCO exist? Modules like Three-Body, Plasma Voice, Loquelic Iteritas Percido and WaveRazor came to mind, but the level of rudeness completely depends on who's patching it. Not calling any names again. I think 'aggression' - it's a bad word, I know - is a recipe where you'd drive your gear into distortion, self oscillation and cross modulation. However, it's often about grit, dirt, filth and grunge. You don't need violence to enjoy it, it's just 'colors' and many of these colors are all over mother nature.

The ultimate showcase would be Noise Music, but I think that noise doesn't tell a story and emotions need to develop. So it needs some kind of storytelling. In this video, I'll explore some VCO's and combos that will balance the edge of noise, and then try to manage it. Even the most brutal noise becomes percussion when you sculpt it, and even the most civilized module can reap havoc and bring chaos."

Looking Outside: Synthesizer and Eurorack Performance


video upload by MKustomAudio

"Three tracks created by using standalone synthesizers and eurorack modules. Sequenced from the Squarp Hermod+, I thought about recording everything simultaneously, but I decided to record it in groups to allow for more hands on manipulation of the equipment.

For drums, samples were loaded into the 1010music 'Bitbox Micro' with the following modules also used for processing the summed samples: Make Noise 'QPAS', Xaoc 'Koszalin', Qu Bit 'Mojave' and 'Nautilus', Erica Synths 'Blackhole DSP 2', Qu Bit 'Data Bender' (triggered/modulated using the Make Noise '0-CTRL'), and Noise Engineering 'Librae Legio'.

For synthesizers, the following hardware was used: Sonicware 'Evoke', Korg 'Arp 2600m' and 'Minilogue XD', Sequential 'OB-6 Desktop', Novation 'Peak' and 'Circuit Mono Station'.

Forward Momentum 0:00
Revival 3:59

Ruina Versio x BIA distortion performance on small NE case by POB


video upload by Noise Engineering and Patrick POB OBrien

"POB takes us on a distortion journey into ruin with this dark and cinematic performance with Noise Engineering modules. Patch inspired by my recent firmware video for Librae Legio. Librae is mostly a set-and-forget module for me, and I hardly ever use the CV inputs. I showed an example on the short video by throwing a gate signal into the Ceiling input, and the result was this pumping effect that occurs throughout the whole mix. Just left it activated. I'm really glad that CV input put the hook I needed.

Notes:
0:00 BIA into Ruina Versio
1:29 Introducing Debel Iteritas Alia with wide open attack, using Quantus Trajecta to create a more vocally shaped envelope in place of its own envelope.
2:13 Introducing Sinc Legio, pitched by Opp Ned's arepeggios, then distorting it through Roucha Legio.
3:07 Introducing Virt Iter Legio as the wobbly bassline using Mimetic Digitwolis' randomizing melody, being switched at times by Muta Jovis.
5:07 Switching the bypass on Roucha's filter while adjusting its frequency.
9:35 Using Desmodus Versio's built-in LFO to affect its reverb tail.
12:55 MOAR Distortion on the BIA using Ruina Versio, toggling in and out of gated Smoosh.
14:08 Using Desmodus Versio's Tone controls to filter the reverb tail.

Clocked by Horologic Solum. Mixed on Xer Dualis, then sent through Librae Legio with its Ceiling being CV-controlled by an LFO from Pons Asinorum.
