From the creator: "My name is Dani and I am about to release my first Eurorack module, which I have been working on for the last few years: it is called zerua nahasi, and it is a 4-voice granulator with multiple internal and external modulation options, various ways to combine and synchronize the 4 voices, multiple grain engine types (varispeed, (paul)stretching...), and an integrated convolution reverb with custom impulse responses. You can learn more about it at sbrkdevices.com.
The module will be released in automn this year, but in a few days I will be showing it at Superbooth in Berlin. If you plan to be there, you are more than welcome to come visit us, we are in the headphones only area, at booth W241."
zerua nahasi is a polyphonic granular synthesizer for the eurorack modular format, with a wide range of granulation possibilities. it features 4 stereo granular engines that can be used independently or in combination, opening a whole palette of possibilities. samples can be loaded from an SD card, or recorded via the stereo audio input. each granulation engine can use the same or different samples as sources for granulation. a live mode is also available, where the device works as a granular delay. zerua nahasi aims to work as a granulation l a b # r & t @ @ !.
furthermore, this device also includes a stereo convolution reverb, with some built-in impulse responses with barcelona's most iconic spaces, and the possibility to load custom IRs from the SD card.

FRONT DISASTER is my project for live improvised modular techno. No preprogrammed patterns or loops - everything is created on the fly on my modular synthesizer. I just like to improvise!"
"I've been preparing to sell my 296T this week, because it's too big, I rarely use it and I do not like the nasal and harsh resonant character too much. Sure it's personal, because the 296T is a faithful recreation of the original classic model (and it also sounds like the more modern LED version 296e). I've explored the module in many videos, but best results were achieved when I patched my Mellotron in it (see 207T video in playlist).
I've been browsing youtube for patch examples, to do a final check on true Buchla versions, because maybe I overlooked something. I did not, it is what it is and I can either accept it, or sell it. In either case I need to stop whining about it. But then I found a cool video from the Sonny Downs Quartet channel, where a simple dual VCO in a 'chord' setting was spectrally transferred into beautiful textures. And then I realized the 296T is eurorack and every I/O can be used. Anyway, I decided to keep the 296T after all, and this video may help to explain why."
"Two remarkable soul mates riffing in their voltages and bleeping into the cosmos. OTTer from Otter Mods generates unexpected repeating patterns around 8 notes while Trilling's MC2VQ dual voice quantizer generates two melody lines from the same input to the same scale while you push the distance between them. From here on in this is going to be the middle 5 minutes of any future live set. Full reviews to come."
"Today I'm happy to show you two (and a half?) modules from Xaoc Devices:
Kamieniec II and Oradea and its expander Arad.
We are going to explore each module and make some fun patches so you can get an idea of what they do.
Have fun!!!"

Drum Farm is a Eurorack module dedicated to the cultivation and un-ethical treatment of drum sounds. It combines real-time drum synthesis, effect processes and sampling into a hands-on, multi-engine instrument, delivering up to four simultaneous voices and three effects at once."
Press release follows:
Knobula cultivates new ground in drum voice design with Drum Farm performance-focused Eurorack module
LONDON, UK: advanced modular synthesiser developer Knobula is poised to cultivate new ground with its upcoming Drum Farm Eurorack module — merging synthesis, sampling, and real-time effects into a single, hands-on instrument built for fast, intuitive sound design, empowering users to relentlessly sculpt, process, sample, and re-sample sounds grown from its wide range of virtual analogue and physically modelled drum and effects algorithms — readily representing the latest addition to its growing lineup of control-centric instruments embodying a no-screen, no-preset philosophy, as of April 21…
As an appropriate appellation, Drum Farm was inspired by Knobula Technical Director Jason Mayo’s background in computer animation, where vast ‘render farms’ generated thousands of realistic images with minimal human input; as a performance-focused Eurorack drum module occupying 24HP of rack space, it is organised into three core sections: a Drum Synth with 16 virtual analogue and physically modelled drum algorithms, an Effects engine offering 16 different realtime processes, and a digital Sampler with up to three playback voices — capturing the combined output of everything a creative user could conceivably do with it. By bringing all the essential building blocks together, Drum Farm allows for the creation of original sounds quickly and intuitively — whether shaping punchy kicks, layered snares, tuned percussion loops, cymbals, CV/Gate-controlled samples, or physically modelled drum membranes.
Moreover, Drum Farm’s onboard sampler can run automatically in the background, sampling into one of 16 sequential audio buffers. Ultimately, users can capture the drum synthesiser on its own or record hybrid combinations of synthesis, effects, and samples, which can themselves be resampled into richly layered percussion structures or loops. Additionally, an EXT (external) input opens the gate to the world of field recording or sampling directly from elsewhere in a Eurorack system and a row of CV and trigger inputs allows further influence to any assignable control, including the ability to switch samples, drum algorithms, or effect types on the fly.
Duly designed for fast, intuitive sound creation, Drum Farm positively encourages an immediate, iterative workflow — simply select a drum model, sculpt it, process it live through the effects, sample the result, blend it with another model, and repeat. As a result, complex and evolving sounds quickly emerge.
Embodying Knobula’s philosophy of promoting experimentation and tactile control reminiscent of classic real-world instruments, Drum Farm features no screens and no sub-menus. Instead, it is a performance-focused module that rewards hands-on exploration, invites happy accidents, and provides a fertile environment for sounds to flourish and grow.
It is possible to create fully hands-free generative patches, self-building sample libraries, or access to round-robin multi-samples since all controls are CV- or trigger-assignable via five CV/Gate inputs. Sensibly, sounds can be saved to a microSD card alongside a complete snapshot of the module itself, whereby buffers, knob positions, samples, and settings are stored together as a session — with up to 32 sessions per card — allowing users to return to their work, exactly where they left off. It is fair to say, therefore, that Drum Farm is always ready for both studio experimentation and live recall.
Thanks to Knobula cultivating new ground with Drum Synth, the relentless creation of drum parts in Eurorack has never been more immediate or rewarding. Attendees at London Synth & Pedal Expo 2026 may recognise the farm-themed product tease, with ‘alien cow abduction’ subsequently forming the core of Drum Farm’s promotional campaign video.
Shipping scheduled for June 2026, Drum Farm will be available to purchase — priced at £449.00 GBP (including VAT), with a choice of two faceplate colourways on offer — directly through the Knobula shop (https://www.knobula.com/shop), as well as via Knobula’s growing global network of resellers.

"Hey there!
Today I'll show you how to use to turn the Three Body into a weird three voices polyphonic oscillator with help from the Boundary Layer and Eddy.
Have fun!!!"

Tunegirl is no stranger to the modular synth scene and has been on our Electronic Beats radar for quite some time. For this video, we visited her at home in Melle, Germany, to talk about her journey, her love for techno and Eurorack, and her passion for Detroit techno.
In recent years, Tunegirl has become a familiar face at Superbooth and is now performing at larger festivals like Awakenings. With heart and soul devoted to techno, she continues to carve out her own path while balancing music with a regular job.
Tunegirl proves that it’s never too late to break through.
Special thanks to Superbooth for the live video footage.
