Ali Modular enters Eurorack marketplace with Esu’s Trifecta available as powerful multi-effects module with Triple FX engine
WASHINGTON, DC, USA: deep joy-encouraging Eurorack module-maker Ali Modular is proud to announce availability of Esu’s Trifecta — readily representing its inaugural entry into the ever-expanding Eurorack marketplace as a powerful multi-effects module, albeit one which stands out from the sound of the crowd courtesy of an ability to run three different serial effects at the same time, thanks to the Triple FX engine driving its intuitive tools that unlock new ways to shape sound and manage the creative process — as of October 2…
As a powerful stereo multi-effects Eurorack module, Esu’s Trifecta is designed to be the ultimate tool for manipulating, shaping, and transforming sound, duly delivering creative possibilities for musicians, live performers, and sound designers alike — whether used as an all-round sound manipulator, end-of-chain effects processor, or sound design tool. Digging deeper, Esu’s Trifecta draws its essence from an orisha — orishas being divine spirits that play a key role in the Yoruba religion of West Africa and several religions of the African diaspora that derive from it — called Èṣù, the mischievous trickster and guardian of the crossroads, who works to promote balance, order, and harmony, ultimately, despite being known for bringing confusion and unpredictability. It is fair to say that this ethos is effectively embedded deeply into the module’s design. As a result, Esu’s Trifecta creates opportunities for unpredictable sonic exploration while providing the tools to mould sound into harmony and order. On the face of it, the module itself opens up limitless pathways for creativity and sound sculpting — just as Èṣù signifies infinite possibilities.
"On September 24, 2025, things got wild at SchneidersLaden’s showroom: William from WMD presented the brand-new Skorpion module – a powerful analog wavefolder developed over five years.
With 8-stage wavefolding and a strong vector core, Skorpion offers a direct and engaging way to shape sound without screens or menus. True to WMD’s reputation for quality, this may very well be the last wavefolder you’ll ever need.
The workshop provided a deep dive into the art of wavefolding, modular sound design techniques, and featured a live performance showcasing Skorpion in action.
For everyone interested in exploring wavefolding further – here’s the full recording of the evening."

PoliMATHS [MSRP: $459] is an eight-channel CV and Audio event generator for the New Universal Synthesizer System or any Eurorack modular synthesizer. It uses a single set of controls to generate complex functions at eight independent channel outputs. PoliMATHS’ functions are made up of two components: first, the well-known Rise-Fall envelope with variable Curve (familiar from the original MATHS and Function and 0-Coast Slope); and second, a variable-Shape Oscillation whose amplitude is controlled over time by the Rise-Fall envelopes. This oscillation can be either low frequency for the creation of complex control functions, or audio frequency for native generation of audio events/notes with optional tuned pitch control via 1v/oct control voltage. PoliMATHS also includes output headers for creating pre-patched connections to the control inputs of QXG.
PoliMATHS Part of the New Universal Synthesizer System Eight channel function generator with a single set of controls Create simple or complex functions Activate channels in many possible patterns using Channel Index, Round, and Parallel Modes Modulate parameters across channels with Spread or Modulation Dissemination Designed to work with MultiMod and QXG and future NUSS modules Chain to QXG for immediate eight channel amplitude control
The Quad Stereo Gate (QXG) [MSRP: $239] music synthesizer module is a Four Channel Stereo Low Pass Gate and Mixer. Like the DXG before it, the QXG utilizes a new low pass gate circuit that does not use vactrols. This circuit is 100% analog and its response was arrived at after many months tailoring it to meet or exceed the expectations that have been set by all the vactrol low pass gates that Make Noise has created over the years. Additionally the QXG adds a Vactrol button to select between a Slow, low-pass-gate-like response emulating the decay time of a vactrol (Vactrol button ON), and a Fast precision response that still maintains the gentle filtering characteristic (Vactrol button OFF). Fast response can be especially useful when patching QXG with complex and quickly-changing functions such as those generated by PoliMATHS with the OSC circuit in use. The QXG also includes a Stereo Sum Output with voltage controllable Stereo Spread to quickly route all four channels across the stereo field. Each channel also has an individual output that removes the channel from the Sum when patched. In addition, QXG includes signal and control input headers for creating pre-patched connections from the outputs of PoliMATHS and MultiMod.

PoliMaths & QXG | How does it sound when you know nothing?
"Today MakeNoise has introduced PoliMaths and QXG. My dealer already had them in stock (!) and allowed me to buy them - under the strict condition to keep it a secret until after the official launch video. So I had the opportunity to make a video in one day, without access to any help from the manual or the MakeNoise launch video. Normally I'd do my homework first, but this opportunity is rare. Usually, I can intuitively figure out how a module works, but with PoliMaths, almost nothing is familiar, and what's familiar works differently. So I've probably been using a MonoMaths, but since I decided to get two, there's still a Poli vibe to it.
This is probably one of the worst videos I've made so far, but it's fun to patch in the blind with zero knowledge, and this was the only day I could record, edit and post it. So forgive me for being a MakeNoise groupie. I am biased, but I also think it's for a good reason. MakeNoise managed to make something extremely innovative. I'll make a proper video soon, and I'll figure out what to do with this one later."
TRI for Trigger or for Three (!) COMP for comparator.
It's a module that transforms any signal into triggers and gate signals.
The TRICOMP has 2 sections: - The first generates triggers (hence the name) - The second generates classic ON/OFF signals (GATE) combining the configuration of the 3 comparators.
The Triggers section: When the input signal exceeds the threshold set by the associated potentiometer, instead of switching from state 0 to state 1, it generates a pulse. The switch allows you to choose when a trigger is generated: either when the signal exceeds, or when it returns below the threshold, or both. There is also an output that sum the 3 circuits.
The second section is a combination of the 3 circuits, and generate GATE outputs.
Typical use: All typical use of the comparator function Trigger generation for complexe rhythmic composition Waveshaping tool, or complexe PWM.

1. MPE on Supercritical Synthesizer Redshift 6 - Bristonica 25
Now capable of MPE!
The latest Redshift update introduces MPE functionality.
This feature, which addresses frequent customer requests, enables compatibility with MPE-capable controllers, such as the LinnStrument.
New evolution of the Voltage Multistage, one of the first Verbos Modules.
The original Voltage Multistage has an analog sequencer core with several unique features that allow it to function as a sequencer with switchable slides on each step, multistage envelope of any length with sustain on any stage, any shape of LFO, voltage quantizer, and more.
The Voltage Multistage 16 is no longer based on a CMOS counter core, but is built around discrete transistor stages, which enables gate inputs on each stage. This allows external gates to jump it to any stage, multiple loops and sequences that start at one stage and then enter into a loop later.
3. Ohm Force Bohm - Bristronica 25
Explore uncharted kick territory. Choose from nine unique models (and counting) and let the randomizer surprise your creativity. Precision sound-shaping knobs with wide sweet spots make flawless tweaks effortless.
4. TouellSkouarn - Bristronica 25
Gael is revealing the modules that are currently housed in his suitcase. Including the Strakal Brulu and the one and only Germanium Mixer. If you check the prices of old Germanium mixers, such as the Siemens, you will see that this one is a real bargain. As always, there is a lovely sound at his booth; no sine is allowed to pass through this Eurorack system.
Mitja tells us the latest news about his module at this year's Machina Bristonica. The Triggerpad module converts your Launchpad into a standalone Eurorack. This allows you to repurpose an older Launchpad that might be gathering dust for your Eurorack system. The workflow is super simple and hands-on. You have features such as polymeter per track, swing and micro steps at your fingertips. The new features are BPM modulation and triplets.
We have just had the opportunity to take a first look at the new, innovative synth from UDO Audio: the DMNO.
Here's a short interview and sound demo from George!
Features:
8 voice polyphonic, with 4 ‘super’ voices when in Binaural mode. Binaural mode gives each channel (ear) a full synthesizer voice with independent detuning and modulation, creating an expansive, rich and texturally wide sound
2-Part Multitimbral, comprising 2 independent hybrid synthesizers, each with its own dedicated set of front-panel controls
8 selectable ‘Play Modes’ that immediately reconfigure DMNO’s signal flow, redefining how its two independent synth engines interact with one another
7. Teaching Machines FuzzBillon: Numerical Tone Switching – Bristronica 25
Instead of using potentiometers for the device's settings, Teaching Machines uses numerical switches. This offers the advantage of total recall. The effects range from subtle overdrive to screaming distortion and are based on a completely analogue circuit with amplification devices from Germanium to Silicon and light-emitting diodes.

"This is Not Rocket Science has pulled a reverb apart and spun it into space as a conversation between entities Bopp and Steve. It's a lovely thing. I've also featured the new Strymon SuperKar+ as my sound source - review on that coming soon."
"I wanted to create a dark sort of melancholy. A fall season sound.
This one started with a patch I built on the TEO 5, and very strange patch on the Taiga. I stole one of the oscillators from the taiga to build a dual oscillator patch on the Mother 32 and then got weird with percussion on the DFAM and the Bastle Drum.
Jim came in and nailed some atmospheric guitars - no easy task for a song that was all vibe no chord progression- Ram Das samples to keep it moving forward, and a @johnnybakecake mix to lock in the melancholy vibe and bring it all together.

"Playing around today with the Seventh Summoner and Arp Of Darkness in the small case. I like where this is headed so I thought I’d share.
https://www.flatsixmodular.com
Patch Notes: Clock is handled by Pam’s Pro Workout.
Voice 1 is sequenced by the Seventh Summoner and consists of the supersaw patch on Braids through the 2051 Bit Corrupter patch on the MFX and then into the delay patch on a Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio with the “MultiVersio” firmware flashed to it.
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. The filter is being modulated by the Shredder applet on the Ornament & Crime.
Voice 3 is being arpeggiated by the Arp Of Darkness, and is made up of a swarm & detune patch on the Neutron Sound Dust of Time running through a ping pong delay on another Disting MK4 by Expert Sleepers. I’m hand modulating the swarm to detune the swarmed notes giving it that dissonant contrast and the release of bring things back to unity.
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."
"Welcome to the instruōduction of the ceithir. This is the largest module I have designed to date. Measuring in at 58HP! It’s been a design project I’ve been tapping away at in the background since Christmas Eve 2024. (It was my holiday entertainment)
I’ve been keen for a while to do a design project reminiscent of my approach ~10 years ago when I was designing the troika. That was the original Instruō module and came about entirely because I wanted more oscillators in my rack! I actively Timelapse recorded the troika design process and scored it using that original troika to be an extremely nerdy music video! I did a similar video document project when I designed the tràigh filter later that year. I did actually record the harmonàig PCB design as well… but that never made a cut because I ended up getting too busy focussing more on the module development side of things more so than the documenting.
For ceithir I have gone a little bit further… I ran timelapse recording for the majority of the process, but also “vlogged” the process and did my best to record key milestones stages. Over the coming weeks I am going to be publishing these as focussed mini documentaries that focus in on particular design stages. Some of these include: • sketching the interface layout/hardware components and then designing the interface graphics • hardware layout considerations • troubleshooting initial prototypes • first power up and then calibration/testing of the first full hardware iterations
As Instruō has grown over the years I have enjoyed collaborating with this team of designers. Sharing ideas and learning from each other is a big part of how we create. I hope some of this series might serve as some form of reference to anyone interested in module design. I feel like it’s becoming more and more common for bands/artists to produce some behind the scenes content surrounding writing and production of new albums. I’m hoping the format translates to some module design bts content. It is perhaps not a step by step tutorial, but I have tried to capture the process quite comprehensively.
This module is a ridiculous one! I don’t know what the current next step is beyond a handful of them existing for my own personal rack(s). If there is interest, please let me know and I can see what’s possible. This thing is definitely not suited for large scale production! But I am very excited to see what people do with it.
Thanks for reading. Please feel free to join us on Discord and say hi! ~ Jason"
