Press release follows:

Make Noise is proud to announce: New Universal Skiff System, MultiWave MIDI Inlet Module, N.U.S.S Bundle and 2-Zone Skiff! More information below!

The New Universal Skiff System music synthesizer is a small system devoted to multi-channel modular synthesis, using control voltages to create poliphonic sound events. The MultiWAVE provides eight dual wavetable oscillators, the PoliMATHS provides eight complex function generators, and a pair of QXG modules combine for eight channels of low pass gate with stereo mix animation. Together, these three modules enable poliphonic patching from a simple set of controls. In addition to the 8 channels of Polimaths for modulation, the MultiMod creates eight time-shifted variants of a single control signal, for even deeper modulation capabilities within the New Universal Skiff System. QPAS provides Multi-Mode Multi-Peak Stereo Filtering, and the XOH provides a final stereo mix and line-level or headphone outputs for monitoring and/or performance. The system also includes a USB-C input that can be used for Activation of MultiWAVE channels via MIDI or MPE signals from a USB MIDI host (such as a computer running a DAW or MIDI sequencer).
The New Universal Synthesizer System modules come together in a unified system!

2-Zone Skiff
In 2009, Tony designed the first Skiff to complement the vertically oriented Doepfer P6 cases available at the time by providing an ergonomic enclosure for our René and Pressure Points touch controllers. These early skiffs were shallow, handcrafted wood designs. In 2015, a revised aluminum 3U Make Noise Skiff was released. This new design had enough depth to fit a wide range of modules, providing a smart way to build a small modular synthesizer.

Now, the Skiff has been updated again, this time to meet the more demanding power standards of today, with the 2-Zone Bus Board providing nearly double the power of its predecessor, plus the multi-zone design making it easy to isolate noise-susceptible or noise-causing modules from each other. The low-profile power headers are shrouded for easy and efficient module installation.
As before, the Skiff’s powder-coated aluminum construction is extremely durable. The clean, simple lines and matte black color place visual emphasis where the action is; the patch the artist has created.
Ships ready to use. Just add modules, patch cables, and inspiration.
Black Powder Coated Aluminum
2-Zone Bus Board provides ample power and module isolation

Smart Wavesplicing for Creative & Unique Tones & Modulation // 3 Patches with SW3 Splice from DPW

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the new SW3 Splice module from DPW Design. It's a smart zero crossing and zero difference dual switch module ... a mouthful maybe, but it's two channels of intelligent switching for audio or CV with simple to use options for anything from making mutes, manual gates, click free audio switching, modulation waveform chaining and a whole host more.

This is a '3 Patches' series video, where we distill things down to just 3 patches, but I've added in some bonus bits where I wanted to change up something in the patch to explore how the module performs with other sources. Check out the patches below."

"Wavesplicing made simple. It works both with audio and control signals or a mix of those.

The SW3 is a module to splice (switch) any signal together with something else click free at up to high audio rate. A tool for audio and CV experiments. A way to expand what you already have into new sonic and control roams.

It can be dual mono, stereo coupled or switching mono into stereo for big stereo fields."

Splice made its first appearance on the site last October.

Press release follows:

Noise Engineering announces Multi Repetitor, an algorithmic percussion sequencer designed for performance.

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their unique and compact utilities, has released Multi Repetitor, an algorithmic trigger sequencer and sequel to their classic Numeric and Zularic Repetitor trigger generators.

Multi Repetitor has been completely rethought from the originals, and takes the core features of the version one designs into a whole new realm. Rhythm generation starts with the three rhythm banks: choose from Zularic, Numeric, or the newly developed Euclidean-derived linear rhythms, then use the Prime fader to scroll through base rhythms on the fly. Like its predecessors, it features four trigger outputs, now with dedicated performance faders that modify the rhythm output.

The newly rethought – and reversible – interface based adds extra parameters for more control of all four outputs. While it keeps the clock and reset inputs, Multi Repetitor also features an internal tap-tempo clock for standalone sequencing. Finally, this version adds four accent gate outputs to the interface. The impetus for these changes, according to the team, was to make the module fit better into compact percussion systems while still being a fun generative sequencer for larger systems.

While it’s possible to get deep into rhythmic modification with the extensive patterns, modification algorithms, and accent options, Multi Repetitor is designed to be a plug-and-play rhythm sequencer. Noise Engineering said that one of their goals was to make it easy to tweak parameters by ear and jam with no preparation required.


Multi Repetitor begins shipping on January 22nd at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.

Features
• Standalone play: tap in a tempo, patch up the outputs, and you’ve got a groove
• Sequence triggers and accents for up to four voices in your systems
• Choose from Zularic, Numeric, or Euclidean-derived base rhythm banks
• Select different base rhythms from the banks using the Prime fader
• Use three different algorithms to modify each output’s rhythm with the performance faders
• Modulate your rhythms with full CV control over faders and banks, and keep things in sync with external clock and reset inputs
• Plug-and-play operation: simple interface designed for performance is easy to use out of the box


Availability and pricing:

Multi Repetitor: In stock. Shipping from Noise Engineering and retailers starting January 22nd, 2026; MSRP US$320

3. Hello Alchemist ! Bastl Citadel synth engine rave to experimental - Stazma and Bastl Instruments

Alchemist is now EURORACK... into the CITADEL!!!!!
So here we go checking out how this synth engine will play out with his other citadel friend the Wave Bard in breakbeat torture mode.
Also a cool oportunity to play around the Diktaat from Mzourack to trigger both units in a performative way.

Citadel Alchemist is a patchable hybrid-synthesis based eurorack module that empowers you in discovering melodies and even harmonies despite being monophonic.
Patch programmable sequencing via the control signals into the two PITCH MOD inputs opens up a world of melodic inspiration beyond classic arpeggios while staying in your preferred SCALE.

5 synthesis modes
The Alchemist has a carefully tuned wide timbral range spanning across 5 synthesis modes (FILTER, FM, HYPERSINE, SUPERSAW and GLITCHNOISE) accessed by main TIMBRE sweep that is refined by the RATIO control.

The ENV macro knob affects different parts of the synth and sequencing engine to maximize musicality and it even lets you continually morph between the synthesis modes and access truly unique sounds.
The timbral palette is further extended by the dual FX section which offers either a wide delay that will smear the arpeggios into echoed harmonies or a chorus-flanger-distortion-combfilter macro custom tuned for each synth mode.
You can also access gliding rubber textures with the PITCH SLIDE macro that applies pitch envelope and portamento.
You can customize its rhythms and scales with the web-based editor.
Modulate anything
All main parameters can be modulated and tightly sequenced by the surprisingly powerful CV and GATE pattern generator. Create groovy off-grid beats using the built-in LFO, which can be synced, reset, or left to run freely.

Testing de nieuw Indian resonator 4 Bansuri eurorack

video upload by errorinstruments paul tas



Indian Resonator 4

is a special Eurorack module designed to generate the warm, deep sound of an Indian bamboo flute — the Bansuri. Rather than being a simple oscillator, it behaves like a resonant physical model that responds very organically to control and performance gestures. The sound can be shaped in two main ways: 1. Control Voltage (CV) All core parameters can be controlled with CV, allowing the module to integrate fully into a Eurorack system. This makes it possible to modulate pitch, tone, and expression dynamically using sequencers, envelopes, LFOs, or other modules. 2. Light-Sensitive Sensors What makes the Indian Resonator 4 truly unique is the inclusion of three light-sensitive sensors. These sensors react to changes in light and shadow and directly influence the flute sound. By moving your hands over the sensors, you can subtly or dramatically alter the tone, airflow character, and resonance — much like the finger and breath control of a real flute player. A dedicated switch allows you to turn the sensors on or off, so you can choose between: •

Pure CV control • Sensor-based performance control •

Or a combination of both Playing Experience The module rewards exploration. You typically start by finding a sweet spot in the sound — a resonant, expressive tone that feels alive. From there, you bring the sound to life using CV modulation or by performing with your hands over the sensors. There are many beautiful and unexpected sounds inside the Indian Resonator 4, but they don’t all reveal themselves immediately. It’s an instrument that invites patience and experimentation — the more time you spend with it, the more expressive it becomes. sice 15 HP

Tembra Modular PH LFO - Phase Shifting Wavetable LFO

video upload by Braintree56

"The Tembra Modular PH LFO is a powerful Eurorack modulation source that focuses on phase shifting and uses wavetable LFOs. I love using Phase Shift for wide stereo images and complex movement.

In this video, I demonstrate the PH LFO’s core functions and build a practical Eurorack patch that uses phase-shifted LFOs to create a wide, animated stereo field—without relying on chorus, delay, or other stereo effects.

Tembra Modular:

/ tembra.modular

https://www.tembra-modular.com/phlfo/"

LFO module provides 4 outputs, 3 with phase shift.
The PH S knob controls phase:
center = no shift,
up = maximum shift (45° / 90° / 180° depending on output),
down = the same amount but in the opposite direction.
RATE controls LFO speed.
WAVE smoothly morphs between waveforms inside the selected bank.
BANK button:
Short press: switch between waveform banks (5 banks + 1 bonus).
Hold: enter rate range selection mode.
In this mode, short press cycles rate ranges:
0.05–10 Hz, 0.05–5 Hz, 0.05–3 Hz.
Hold again to exit back to bank mode.
There are CV inputs with attenuators for WAVE, RATE, and PHASE.
Range switch selects output voltage range:
0 to +10 V or –5 to +5 V.

Serendipity L-Thing vs D-Thing+: Upgrades for Moog DFAM & Labyrinth

video upload by Noisegate and Sam Stosuur

"We patch both modules together, sync them via Mother-32, and explore how they interact with DFAM, Labyrinth, and Teenage Engineering Rhythm for a wild semi-modular jam.

The D-Thing+ transforms the Moog DFAM, adding reset, swing, step control, micro-timing, shuffle, reverse, random modes, and MIDI/CV clocking — turning a brilliant but limited sequencer into a powerful performance instrument.

The L-Thing is built to pair with Moog’s Labyrinth, providing dual clocks, polymeter and polyrhythm modes, Euclidean rhythm options, and generative sequencing that pushes Labyrinth far beyond its stock behavior — while still working with any CV-capable synth.

The D-Thing is a device that adds significant capabilities to the DFAM (or Edge) sequencer, such as:

MIDI integration — clocking and individual step play,
Reset — manual, via CV or via MIDI,
Variations in the step order — Forward, Reverse, Bounce, Odds & Evens, Shuffle, Random and Custom,
Changing the sequence length — 1 to 8 steps (up to 16 steps for a custom step order),
Step repeat — assign a play count of up to 8 times to any step,
Off-grid timing — swing beat as well as arbitrary shifts away from the beat.

Details on the New Knif Audio BBD

You might remember the quick demo of the Knif Audio 5U BBD Delay Demo posted back in September. New details are in:

BBD The analog delay to rule all analog delays

-Stereophonic analog bucket brigade delay with
-precision analog clock generators,
-variable frequency anti-alias and reconstruction filters for wide frequency response and -advanced companders and careful clock signal handling for high signal-to-noise ratio
-Superb-sounding tube distortion stage for the delay path with four NOS SQ pentode tubes
-Six 4096-step BBD ICs for 20ms-600ms (1200ms in mono) delay time
-Seven different operational modes, including X-fed feedback signals
-Versatile LFO
-Tempo divisions
-Tap tempo and external sync
-Beautiful, solid walnut housing and engraved and color-filled panels

Overview

Knif BBD is a stereophonic analog bucket brigade device (BBD) delay. It is a no-compromise device rich in features. What sets it far apart from any other device in the market are the unique self-adapting anti-aliasing and reconstruction filters which provide the widest possible frequency response for any given delay time setting without any aliasing.

The unit features in total six 4096-step BBD ICs which results in maximum delay time of 600 ms for a stereo signal and 1200 ms for a mono source. The device has got seven operational modes for different effects and comes with a wide range of control signal inputs and internal control possibilities. The unit features a microcontroller for relay switching and timing tasks such as tap tempo and time division. However the signal chain and clock generation are fully analog and built using state-of-the-art components.

The other very unique feature to the device is a vacuum tube distortion stage located before BBD circuits. It consists of four NOS Special quality pentodes in total. The amount of distortion is continuously adjustable without affecting the overall signal level. In addition to this, the spectrum of the distortion can be selected.
