Press release follows:

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their fun and unique takes on Eurorack modular synthesizers, has released the highly requested Mimetic Digitwolis, a configurable performance sequencer, MIDI-controlled quantizer, and successor to the beloved Mimetic Digitalis.

The original Mimetic Digitalis has become a cult classic, thanks to its quick workflow and performative features. Noise Engineering has worked extensively to revamp and upgrade everything about the new version, while retaining the magic of the original. Fans of the first edition will enjoy familiar features like Shred randomization, extended cartesian sequencing abilities, and familiar editing workflows, all within the same 10 HP package.

Even with those similarities, Mimetic Digitwolis was redesigned from the ground up to be a great performance tool and sequencing utility. The new hardware features five trigger inputs and four CV inputs which can all be freely assigned to dozens of mappings within the module for complete flexibility. All editing and configuration can be done on the new color screen, making it easy to fit the module into your patch and view sequences at a glance. New to version two is the addition of MIDI in and out jacks, allowing a whole new level of connectivity with other studio gear – Digitwolis can be synchronized and controlled with other MIDI devices, and generates MIDI notes and CC modulation.

Mimetic Digitwolis also features a host of highly requested new features. The outputs can sequence four different types of signals – modulation CV, pitch CV, triggers, or gates – or can act as a quantizer on external CV signals. The quantizer can also be used internally on pitch CV lanes, and the scale can be edited within the module or with an external MIDI keyboard. Additionally, clock dividers can be applied to the four channels to change their advance rate, and each channel can have a different sequence length from one to 16 steps.

Despite its compact size and unintimidating interface, it’s clear that Mimetic Digitwolis is a flexible sequencing utility for any system, big or small. "Normally, we put a quote about the product in our press releases," says Kris, the Doer of Many Things at Noise Engineering. "But Mimetic Digitwolis does so much that it speaks for itself."

Mimetic Digitwolis is now open for preorders and starts shipping September 18th, 2025. Available at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.

5 Things you can do with the Sinc Pravus offset from Noise Engineering

video upload by Noise Engineering

"We're featuring 5 patch ideas using Sinc Pravus, the configurable quad offset in 4HP. If you find this helpful, let us know in the comments!

0:09 CV Layer Cake
1:02 Tame that Chaos
1:42 Polyrhythm Control
2:32 Detuned Drones
3:03 Handy Arp Machine

Sinc Pravus demo video: [posted here]

Sinc Pravus is available here: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Sometimes you have the perfect CV signal, but it’s just not in the right range. Enter Sinc Pravus, a Goldilocks of a quad offset. Whether you find your CV ranges are too high or too low, Sinc Pravus is just right.

Each of Sinc Pravus’s four channels are controlled by a dedicated potentiometer with an LED for monitoring signal outputs. The input jacks are normalled from top to bottom so it can offset the same signal by different amounts or simply act as a mult.

Use the back-panel switch to configure Sinc Pravus’s offset range to either ±5 or ±10 volts. With nothing patched to the inputs, the channels can be used as DC-voltage generators, especially useful for controlling multiple CV destinations with a single parameter. Sinc Pravus is a workhorse in 4 HP."

Summon the Darkness - Arp Of Darkness & Seventh Summoner eurorack performanceIMG 5565

video upload by FlatSix Modular

"A one take performance, pairing the Seventh Summoner with the Arp Of Darkness showing how the two used together can turn a small rig into a full featured performance case.

Patch Notes: All clicking duties are handled by Pam’s Pro Workout.

Voice 1 is sequenced by the Seventh Summoner and consists of the vowel patch on Braids through the Ensembles patch on the MFX and then into the retro patch on a Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio with the “MultiVersio” firmware flashed to it. The vowel patch is being modulated by Ebb & LFO patch on the Ornament & Crime running the Phaserville Suite

Voice 2 is a saw wave oscillator from the Disting MK4 processed through a Pittsburgh Modular low pass filter, and being sequenced by Sequence X on an Ornament & Crime module with the Phaserville Suite firmware running.

Voice 3 is being arpeggiated by the Arp Of Darkness, and is made up of a swarm & harm patch on the Neutron Sound Dust of Time running through a ping pong delay on another Disting MK4 by Expert Sleepers.

In-Case Drums are being handled by an Erica Synths Pico Drums module running through A low pass filter on another Disting MK4 and into Data Bender by Qu-Bit for glitching duties.

All outputs run through a Kombucha by WGD for delay send duties and then into a Befaco STMIX for mix down to an Intellijel Headphones output in the 1U row.

Additional drums provided by the K.O. II by Teenage Engineering running my own personal samples."

Nightmare ambience 7

video upload by Meska (Meska)

"This is how my nightmare sound like, quick patch on my modular system and Plinky

Bowed noise is Elements
Poly is plinky
"Windy" noise is paralel procesing of the bass line to ruina versio filter by ikary using the 2 even and odd output of the resonantFB
Bass is NLC fm op, to waveshaper to vacium tube with feedback to resonant FB filtered by centaur gate
Arp is NLC FM op, phase modulated, mixed with noise filtered by centaur gate
Arp is paralel pocesing to Typhoon using spectral madness algo, with manual modulation using Allflesh.

All this mixed with jumble henge to polydactul versio to Bib for effect

Ambient ghosts - Vhikk X, 4ms Ensemble and SMR, Elta TSC 12

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Two ambient songs performed live with a eurorack case.

Buy these songs on an album here: https://jayhosking.bandcamp.com/album...

This is why eurorack exists to me. I would never come to these sorts of results through any other workflow or gear, would never stumble on these harmonies or gently cascading notes, would never feel out the song progression on a computer or even with a more traditional hardware setup. There are many things eurorack doesn't do as well, but moments like this make me realize why it's so special.

Please go give the album a spin.

“Liar, Liar, 960 Denier!” 😅

video upload by John L Rice

"I’ve been getting a bit burnt out doing endless video editing lately so when my friend David (Kindred Lost) made a nice cover/demo of his Moog 960 style sequencer doing the bass sequence from Tangerine Dream’s 'Rubycon' and said 'nothing but the 960 can do this' so I fired up my trusty Moon 569 sequencer to see if I could do it too! 🤓 David’s demo sound much more 'Moogy' that mine and is closer to the original TD track, I mainly just wanted to see if I could recreate similar patterns. Check out David's video 👌😎: • Franke and Ruby [posted here]

I used the following modules:
Moon Modular: 569 sequencer
Oakley: Slim VCO B (as VC clock)
Marienberg: Envelope Generator A, VC Sine Phase Oscillator
Noise Engineering: Cursus Iteritas Magnus VCO
STG Soundlabs: Post-Lawsuit Lowpass Filter

"Here's an industrial dark modular synth performance by 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.
