Playing with Parting - Old Blood Noise Endeavors & Emily Hopkins


video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Running a simple bass line through the stunning Parting glitch/ambient machine and exploring the sounds. It's a very touchy feely pedal that's wasted on guitarists and really should be a Eurorack module. Full review coming soon from a synth perspective.
I bought this pedal myself."



"Parting is a box of pleasant surprises. Moments of chance will give bursts of a glitch delay that can smear into a reverb, modulated by tremolo or vibrato, filtered, and, most importantly, dissolved into lofi aliasing or stretched out reverse. All of this may jump around in halves and octaves of itself - it’s up to you and Parting, together.
Controls

Dissolve has two functions. Below noon, it reduces sample rate, creating an increasingly degraded version of the signal. Above noon, it reverses the signal, and repeatedly cuts the reverse clock in half as the knob is turned, creating an increasingly long and degraded reverse.

Rate sets the rate of the modulation LFO, which is also the frequency of triggers for moments of chance.

Depth sets the depth of the LFO.

Shape sets the LFO shape: Sine, Square, Reverse Saw, Saw, Random Sine, Random Square, Envelope

Chance allows random bits of signal to enter the delay/reverb buffer during an LFO cycle.

Smear adds diffusion and feedback to the delay lines, turning them into a lush reverb as the knob is turned up.

Glitch creates various clock subdivisions.

Time sets the timing of the delay/reverb, as well as the reverse.

Filter sets the cutoff point of the post-dissolve filter.

Mix sets the blend of dry and wet signal.

Aux switch for tap tempo, half speed, or preset switching.

Soft-touch On/Off footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise"

video upload by Gaz Williams

"Here are a few sound examples of the latest BlaknBlu modules that will be featuring on my upcoming livestream on Tuesday 14th April 2026 8pm UK.

The modules are the mk2 versions of the Oscar Tria, Oscar DSF, Alpha Duo and the Foxtrot Duo. Lil' old Doug may make an appearance too!

These modules are both musically and sonically very satisfying. Join me on my show to explore them further."

The best use of Eurorack 1U?


video upload by mylarmelodies

"This is a demo of Tubbutec's Drummertime - a full-size 8-track drum sequencer that fits in 1U. I'll explain why that's significant, then show you what the four editions of it are, how to make patterns and chain them, do performance mutes, tap in manual rhythms and more - this is the core functionality on demo.

Tubbutec hired me to make this explainer & demo - thanks to them for having me do this. It is, as I hoped, a very cool module."

Let 3 Modules Do The Talking | Rings, Beads & Marbles


video upload by Dots

"Lost my voice. So this week’s video is a little different — no talking, just patching.

Three modules. That’s it. Mutable Instruments Rings, Beads, and Marbles in a self-contained ambient patch.

Marbles outputs random pitch CV. Rings voices them. Beads processes the output. The result is something slow, spacious, and completely unscripted.

Modules used:
Mutable Instruments Marbles (random sampler)
Mutable Instruments Rings (resonator)
Mutable Instruments Beads (granular processor)"

B:art Instruments & Strymon Starlab // From melody to chaos


video upload by Dexba

"The power of modular is flexibility, but I've never been a fan of having to buy a lot of utilities just to get going! The cost of a little setup skyrockets as soon as you start adding the basics, so I honestly love the fact that getting a b:ond (here in the v2, the new version) just gets you going as soon as you put it in the case.
Two oscillators, 4 VCAs, suboscillators, waveform morphing, FM (through zero!), PM, sync, mixing... everything is just ready to play and enjoy.
The natural companion is the b:righten, a gentle (in the cutoff) and gnarly (in the resonance) filter.
The rest is history and... Starlab :D"

4/9/26 Metasonix RK7 RK2 RK8 + Beers Melakarta & DAC + ALM Pamela’s New Workout + Alesis MIDIVERB II


video upload by Cfpp0

This is the first post to feature the Beers Melakarta.

"Feeding the Beers DAC and Beers Melakarta several triggers from ALM Pamela’s New Workout, and then modulating the pitches of the two Metasonix RK7 VCOs and the CV on the Metasonix RK8 Filterwall. Gated reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II."



"The idea for this module came from my friend Rodrigo Kendrick. He was a bit burned out on western tonal structures, and had recently missed out on an electronic lehra machine in a facebook marketplace deal which fell through. These machines are a kind of practice tool for carnatic musicians that plays a wide variety of different raga. Think that 'casio auto-chord' function on old casio keyboards, but for carnatic music.

Unwilling to wait for another one to come up on the used market, he did some cursory research, and sent me an early-morning design document, expanding the functionality of DAC with a scheme of two rotary switches and one toggle switch to select the pitch sets for all 72 Melakarta ragas and specified a clock input that would run up and down the selected raga in ascending then descending order, with the ability to turn around or reset on command. In theory this would allow the complex rhythmic and sequence rules of the raga to be implemented with external logic and sequencers, but still give the module enough sequencing functionality to explore the pitch sets of these raga on it's own.

I got excited and went a bit silly 'helping' until we had shoehorned in a pile of other features like binary addressability of the selected swara (interval), gate outputs for each swara, an 'inhibit' input that mutes the transposition voltage while the clock continues in the background, CV controlled halving of the clock frequency, extra +1oct input, and the logic-inverting toggle switches from the DAC on several inputs.

This design is all analogue using discrete MOSFETs and 0.1% tolerance resistors in a weighted DAC driven by a 4000-series CMOS based sequencer.

Yes, it might have been simpler to use a microcontroller."

XenoMorph II - MakeNoise Polymorphism with NUSS and Morphagene


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Five years ago, I already played with the idea of expanding the Morphagene into a shapeshifting creature. I used two Phonogenes to process the Morph's L and R outputs, inspired by a lo-fi Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus. It was a fun experiment. This Xenomorph is different, a worthy V2. It's a custom 104 HP system I designed as a synth I did not know how to make:

Morphagene
Mult
MultiMod
PoliMaths
QXG x 2
X-PAN
Mimeophon

When used in a skiff, X-PAN is replaced by X-OH (output) and a mult. If you have stackables, you can even use the new GTE. The idea is to bring the stereo Morphagene OUTS together with the QXG outs, so you'll need to stack/mult one Morph out into MultiMod.

The 7U case obviously has the CV bus and - can / could - contain the regular NUSS layout AND the Xenomorph Granular NUSS system. Together they could hold two universes which makes it Multiversal (NMSS) which logically brought me to the name 'Nemesis'. We often assiciate that name with something bad, but after a bit of research it translates to 'the force that reveals your limitations'. So when we meet our Nemesis, the only thing we need to do is grab another patchcable and say 'why stop here?' bla, bla, bla.
Seriously. This is an amazing layout.

Even though MultiMod was never intended for audio, again it's my favorite way to use it, and now it's the core of this setup. It will take the L[mono[ channel of Morphagene as an input so it will create eight roughly independent tentacles. MultiMod has a NUSS header on the back, so without any cable clutter it connects to QXG's audio in and PoliMaths will do the envelopes. So I am basically replacing the MultiWAVE for Morph + Mod as the new sound engine.

I did not realize I'd be getting a genuine granular synth on steroids. A workstation."

Intellijel Swells | Four synth explorations

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Four mostly ambient pieces with Intellijel's new reverb and other hardware.

Fair warning: Intellijel sent me the Swells and Jellymix. Take that as you will. Considering how much other Intellijel stuff I use, and considering how much I'm a sucker for reverb, I was excited to try this one out.

00:00 - Omnichord ambient
03:49 - SubH Replay ambient
08:22 - S-4 OVUM ambient
12:35 - Hexdrums jam

Undoubtedly, we're living in a golden era of reverb hardware. I've got more reverb than one human needs, but I love it so much. One thing that means, though, is that I'm looking for reverb that does new things, that isn't just good but different and textural and interesting in and of itself.

In that respect I've been very happy with Swells, and am planning to use it a bunch after this. Swells can play it straight, but the combination of self-generated modulation and great colouration options means Swells can draw attention, add unique character, and fill a role more than simply adding space. I've particularly liked pairing it with Jellymix, using Swells as a send and then using varying amounts of wet/dry across multiple instruments, creating a shared reverb environment that feels pretty glued. It's a great combo.

So do you need another reverb? Probably not. You don't need anything in hardware, honestly. But if you're looking for a hardware reverb that makes you think differently about time-based effects, and if you're looking for a reverb that sounds good in new ways, I think Swells is worth checking out.

Thanks for listening.

Déjà vu: Flexible Fader Control for Audio & CV│Bastl Instruments


video upload by Bastl Instruments

"Bastl Déjà vu is a Swiss knife for your Eurorack System that adds fader control to your modular system for many scenarios. It stands out as a simple yet powerful utility module that can do crossfading, mixing, signal boosting, voltage processing, attenuation or attenuversion. All that in 4HP and with the possibility to chain several of them to mix even more signals."



Powerful Voltage Utility module for voltage processing, attenuation, signal boosting, crossfading, and mixing

Déjà vu adds fader control to your modular system and it stands out as a simple yet powerful utility module that can do voltage processing, mixing, attenuation, attenuversion, signal boosting, crossfading and mixing.

All that in 4HP and with the possibility of chaining several units to mix even more signals.

SWISS KNIFE FOR YOUR RACK

Déjà vu has two almost identical channels A and B. Each channel has the FADER input and the ADD input and an output with light indication. The FADER MODE switch alters the behavior of the module, either attentuating or attenuverting the FADER input where the ADD input will be added to the processed FADER input. The last option is crossfading between the FADER Input and the ADD input which is great for creating performance oriented macro controls.

Q DRM - 4 – Four Analog Drum Voices for Eurorack Modular


video upload by HOX808



"Q DRM - 4 is an analog Eurorack module with four independent drum voices. Its Twin-T resonator design delivers 808-inspired bass, tom, and percussion sounds when triggered — from claves and rimshots to bongo- and conga-like tones. The color-coded controls let you dial in each voice’s fundamental range, while separate outputs per voice provide maximum flexibility for patching, mixing, and further sound shaping.
