"It was great to meet Julian from Sonic Potions and I was surprised to see 3 new assembled modules, there was seemingly no whisper of those coming. All three looked and sounded ace! As did the new DIY kit."
"Mal-2 is a random signal generator. It has 2 modes of operation to provide you with smooth random goodness.
In the first mode the CHANGE knob morphs from a cubic interpolated (sine like shape) random signal to a random walk function.
In the second mode the CHANGE knob sets the self similarity. On the minimum setting the signal is completely random. On the maximum setting the random sequence is locked to a repeating, identical 8 step sequence. In between the sequence slowly morphs to new shapes over time.
Specs:
6 HP
12 bit CV output
through hole components DIY kit
Random gate output
CV inputs with attenuverter for both knobs
super slow cycles times up to lower audio range"
It comes with 2 completely identical oscillator cores that can also be used independently.
Each oscillator is based on a sine core that is fed through different waveshapers to alter the waveform:
a saw shaper (achieved through self modulation)
a rectange shaper (hard clipper with adjustable gain and offset)
a wavefolder with adjustable gain and offset
Further each oscillator can modulate the phase of the other oscillator for yamaha style FM synthesis.
Specs:
28 HP
16 bit / ~80kHz
All parameters CV controllable

"Manifold is a versatile delay and reverb module that provides a great set of different algorithms.
Currently implemented are:
Basic delay without pitch changes during delay time changes
Granular pitch shifting delay
Tape delay with moving tape head and variable tape speed
Granular glitch delay
Multitap delay
Double delay (2 independent delays with separate IOs)
BBD delay
2 Reverb algorithms
Chorus/Ensemble/Flange delay
The delay times can be synced to external clock sources up to audio range (about 4kHz) or the clock can be synced using the tap tempo button. While the delay times are synced, the time knob acts as a clock multiplier and divider. Synced to an external oscillator the delay can be used for karplus strong synthesis.
Most algorithms provide a second audio IO to route the feedback through external modules, including the reverbs.
Instead of a range switch, there is a second knob to adjust the range of the time knob seamlessly from a few milliseconds up to several seconds of delay time.
Specs:
20 HP
16 bit / 48kHz
based on an STM32 ARM CPU with 8Mb of external SRAM"
Malaclypse is a sophisticated random signal generator inspired by the Perlin-Noise algorithm. Perlin Noise is used in procedural computer graphics to generate landscapes, so the module is capable of creating signals that resemble the flat grass hills of Ireland as well as the ragged shapes of the Swiss alps and everything in between and above.
At the core of the module is an analogue noise source that can be fed through an interpolator to gradually alter its shape. The modes implemented are:
No interpolation - results in S'n'H like staircase signals
linear interpolation with or without resonance
cubic interpolation
treshold mode - results in vinyl like cracks and pops
Up to 10 octaves of these random signals, each with double the frequency, can be stacked on top of each other with decreasing volume. The volume ratio can be set with the DECAY knob.
The SIMILARITY knob sets the self similarity of the signal. With similarity all cranked up, the same sequence will be repeated over and over again. The more you lower the similarity setting, the more all the values will slowly drift away from their position with each cycle. Great for slow evolving modulation sequences!
The module goes down to about half an hour cycle time between 2 values and reaches full audio rate as well. Thus the module can also be used as an oscillator (similarity all cranked up) or a noise source that provides different colours of noise.
External audio and CV signals can also be manipulated. As soon as you plug in an external signal to the input, the internal random signal generator is replaced with audio samples from the input. Now the FREQUENCY knob acts as a sample rate reducer and the interpolator can still filter and reshape the input signal.
The module is syncable to external clock sources up to audio range. In sync mode the frequency knob acts as a multiplier/divider and the divided/multiplied clock is available on the clock output.
"the classic thomas henry megapercussive synth- now made easier for synth diy!
the bundle includes the main pcb from thomas henry and electro-music.com, the new panel daughterboard pcb from barcode, and a beautiful panel design from papernoise!
euro panel 30hp; the panel pcb eliminates the need for flying wires to pots, jacks and switches
"You might remember that I started to work on a panel design for the Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer (over a year ago). Unfortunately the project hit several road blocks and I never got around actually making the panel. I tried to get a control PCB made with 3 different people, but each time there were some problems and we had to put things on standby.
The waiting might be over though! Thanks to a guy who goes on the name Barcode on Muff Wiggler we’ll have a control PCB very soon!
Synthcube will be officially selling these and the control PCB:
to tie this all together, we are happy to say that we will be offering the MPS PCBs, kurodama will be designing an aluminum panel using barcode’s panel PCB layout, and we will offer those as well as barcode’s panel PCB and panel! So you’ll have a lot of choices in terms of how to build up your euro MPS!"
0:30 mutlimode VCF, the concertodrone features a LP/HP synthacon-style filter with basic voltage control. The filter is pretty overdriven and has a nice nasty resonance
1:00 555-timer-based LFO. I've added a simple oscillator based around a 555-timer-IC. This one can be used as a modulator with the VCF or patched into any other jack for some unpredictable effects
2:00 lo-fi echo effect. I've added a PT2399-based echo/delay effect. I don't use it very often, because it's a bit too lo-fi and I should have extended the control over the parameters a bit more. Also I didn't include a proper dry/wet control
2:45 the paching! this is the interesting part. most of the patch points are taken from reed ghazalas famous guide. I've added a bunch of new ones and including a proper pitch control (using an LTC1799 from circuitbenders.co.uk)."
Update via papernoise in the comments:
"Improvising with the loopper and my new Concertodrone Mk3 (circuit bent Casio SK-1).
All sounds are coming from the Casio, no FX have been added (except for a subtle bit of reverb)."
