Noise Engineering announces Case of Steel, a 64 HP Eurorack Skiff with Integrated Busboard Power and Mults

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their versatile Eurorack modules, has released Case of Steel, a skiff designed to house and power 64 HP of Eurorack modules.

While Noise Engineering has spent the last decade creating innovative modules, this is their first time releasing a standalone case. And while the market for cases large and small has grown significantly, Noise Engineering’s design still stands out with some innovative design choices and unique construction.

As the name implies, the case is made entirely of steel, with mounting holes tapped directly into the steel frame. This ensures that modules stay put, and the weight of the case keeps it in place while in use, despite its compact size. A pair of passive mults installed on the bottom of the case aids in patching, and saves HP in a small system. And while some skiffs are particularly shallow, Case of Steel offers over 2” of depth for modules, housing all but the deepest Eurorack designs for unmatched flexibility.

Case of Steel also features an integrated power supply. A power switch on the back of the case turns on the system, and power is delivered via a real busboard installed under the row of mults – no flying bus cables here. Despite the case’s compact size, the power specs are no joke: two zones of +12V offering 850mA each, plus 750mA of -12V and 1A of +5V. In a 64 HP system, it’ll be difficult to reach those limits. Case of Steel has a built-in power switch, and ships with a power brick, too.

For the production of Case of Steel, Noise Engineering worked with a metal fabricator near their headquarters, showing off the awesome capabilities of the Los Angeles maker community.

Due to the complexity of distribution, coupled with its unique materials and design, a limited run of just 90 cases has been produced, and will be sold exclusively through Noise Engineering’s web shop.

Case of Steel is a robust and powerful solution for Eurorack synthesists, no matter where they are in their journey.

Case of Steel begins shipping on February 19th only at https://noiseengineering.us.

Features
• Black powder coated steel design: solid case stays put while you patch
• Two sets of passive mults make patching easy
• Integrated busboard power supply with switch
• Bespoke Noise Engineering power supply with two zones of +12V offering 850mA each, plus 750mA of -12V and 1A of +5V

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).

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.

Flame Maander-M Desktop Eurorack Wavetable Synth

A few pics via CONTROL

New version demo here, previous version in white here.

Details:

"A Streamlined Classic! Mäander-M Wavetable Synth with Analog Filterbank & Sequencer

The Flame MÄANDER-M is a compact reimagining of a well-regarded classic from the Flame lineup — now more affordable and streamlined, but still packed with the same sonic depth. At its core is a wavetable synth engine, fed into the 12-channel analog bandpass filter bank, controlled by the internal pattern sequencer.

Sound sources include a polyphonic wavetable and FM oscillator, an analog white noise generator and an external audio input. The internal sequencer offers one polyphonic note track (up to 4-voice chords) and 14 mono tracks. The latter are dedicated to the filter channels, the audio input, and the noise source. Each track has its own VCA with individual envelope control and is accessible via MIDI notes.

Patterns can be created and saved as patches, and played live with ease. The built-in arpeggiator and keyboard scaler make the MÄANDER a powerful tool for live jamming and generative sequencing. Updates, patch management, and wavetable loading are handled conveniently via MIDI SysEx.

New in this version: direct oscillator output, stereo noise output, and stereo audio input. Mäander comes fully mounted in a powered 56HP wooden skiff to get started right away.

The Mäander module comes with a custom-made 56HP Eurorack case. Consisting of black anodised aluminium half-shells with wooden side panels, the case has a desk-style design. It includes a built-in power supply (+5V, +12V and -12V, each with an output current of 500 mA) and a plug-in power supply (9–18 V, 18 W), and can therefore also be used as a separate Eurorack case with other modules. The case is manufactured entirely in Germany, and the elegant wooden side panels are crafted from locally sourced wood, including cherry and elm."

PlantsSystem-BlackPoint

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem 'BlackPoint' is a techno sound imbued with a pitch-black texture, constructed using Cyan/n and Rebirth. Swelling low frequencies, inorganic particles of noise, and sharp, cutting synth lines intertwine beneath the minimalist beat, creating a dark groove that draws you into the depths of darkness.
The simple yet powerfully propulsive rhythm creates a profound and tense soundscape, exquisitely blending the transparent texture of Cyan/n with the hard-edged analog feel of Rebirth. The unique atmosphere, a blend of cold and heat, paints a profound worldview throughout the track.

Antonus 2600 - Test Drive 2

video upload by Tumeni Knobs

Part 1 here

"This is an extended version of the patch I created for the Antonus 'Patch Challenge'. The 90 second version was featured on their social media sites. :-) I really enjoyed listening to this patch and messing around with it, so thought I should record a longer version. This is a combination of generative and performance patching in that I could let it run for hours and it would be dynamic enough to listen to in the background, but it also was good fun to actively mess around with.

The hardware is the Antonus 2600 DIY version, with the Antonus SidecARP Eurorack expansion case, the Arturia KeyStep Pro and Fractal Audio VP4.

SidecARP modules are, from left to right:
ALM - Pamela's New Workout
Stochastic Instruments - Stochastic Inspiration Generator
Qu-Bit - Surface
Addac - Swell Physics
Molten Modular - Motion MTR
Black Corporation - Deckard's Voice
Make Noise - Mimeophon
Qu-Bit - Nautilus,
ALM - S.B.G Pro
Roland - 531 Mixer

KSP provides a clock signal to PNW and the five step "anchor" arpeggio to the 2600 Osc 1. SIG provides three separate sequences to ARP Osc 3, Surface and Deckard's Voice. The notes are based on the Dm scale. 2600 Osc 2 is LFOing the Cutoff. 2600 Noise is randomly mixed in for added texture. VP4 is used for some subtle flanger and reverb on the 2600 (through the S.B.G. Pro), but I also mix in some clock-sync'd panning and some delay. Surface goes into Nautilus and Deckard goes into Mimeophon. All mixed together in the Roland 531 mixer. Recorded on iPhone 12 Max through an iRig Pro from 531 line outs."

Black Corp Kijimi MK2 sound exploration no talking

video upload by Ken Flux Pierce Fluxwithit

"Kijimi MK2 has landed in the studio and I am enjoying exploring its capabilities, quirks and raw analog sounds. This video is a no talking pretty raw exploration. exploring modulation and creating custom presets. All sounds were created from INIT to give a fresh slate.

Kijimi MK 2 is an 8 voice analog synth inspired by the RSF Polykobal from Black Corp's website

DEEP 8-VOICE ARCHITECTURE
Each of KIJIMI ’s 8 voices features 2 analog oscillators each with a square sub-bass oscillator, for buttery timbres with extensive sound design options. The sub-oscillator produces an octave lower than the combined VCO1 and VCO2 outputs, meaning you can tune two sub-pitches. Hard sync is available in VCO sync and VCO1-2 and 2-1 configurations for maximum flexibility. There’s also a noise source for adding bite and percussion components. A rich lowpass filter is built around the legendary 2140 chip and the ability to frequency-modulate it via VCO2, creates a full range of sounds from metallic and aggressive to subtle. Both filter cutoff and resonance are available as modulation destinations."

Morphor ECHON 6 BBD Resonator Synth Now Open for Pre-Orders

Morphor's ECHON 6 pre-orders are now open at Perfect Circuit

Press release follows:

Morphor marks upcoming availability of ECHON 6 as world’s first polysynth based around analogue BBD resonators by announcing opening of pre-orders

GHENT, BELGIUM: having twice turned heads and opened ears thanks to show-stealing showcases at SUPERBOOTH25, May 8-10, FEZ-Berlin, Germany and Machina Bristronica 2025, September 27-28, Bristol, UK, Morphor marks upcoming availability of its eagerly-awaited ECHON 6 — being billed as the world’s first polyphonic synthesizer based around BBD (Bucket-Brigade Delay) resonators, building upon the Belgium-based collective of artists, engineers, and musicians with a passion for creative sound experience and radical acoustic ideas’ illustrious Eurorack expertise in that area as its inaugural standalone (rack-mountable) desktop design — by announcing the opening of pre-orders as of October 23…

As an ANALOGUE POLYPHONIC MULTI-TIMBRAL BBD SYNTHESIZER — helpfully highlighted by the on point wording worked tastefully into its fitting front panel design’s execution, ECHON 6 brings the principals of modal synthesis into the analogue domain. Far from reimagining a digital concept with modern analogue circuitry, it readily redefines how resonance and excitation can interact. And as the world’s first polyphonic synthesizer based around BBD resonators, no less, each of its six voices features a discrete BBD RESONATOR that tracks the keyboard, producing organic overtones and complex harmonic depth. Duly allowing its users to excite those resonators in creative ways, ECHON 6 can generate anything from plucked and bowed strings over leads and basses to big pads and evolving soundscapes. Combining comprehensive multi-timbral capabilities, a 9 x 32 modulation matrix, a full analogue signal path, and a one-knob-per-function approach, ECHON 6 ultimately unites experimental sound design with classic polyphony. Indeed, its architecture invites exploration at every stage of that analogue signal path.

Make Noise Black & Gold Shared System ++

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"The Black and Gold Shared System is the latest revision of MakeNoise's early flagship. The star of the system is undoubtedly the DPO; a rich implementation of the West Coast complex oscillator pioneered by Don Buchla. Capable of wide range of tones with multiple outputs available simultaneously. It can also be used as 2 completely independent oscillators. The interaction of the 2 oscillators is high dynamic via the integrated mod bus and enhanced by a unique 'follow' circuit.

VCA, mixing and 'gate' functionality is provided by the Optomix and Moddemix, the latter of which also includes a unique ring mod implementation.

The DPO is ably supported by a wide variety of control options including a highly interactive touch interface as well as sophisticated and dynamic rhythmic control.

This unit was originally purchased with the mk1 version of Rene. It has been upgraded with the mk2 and an additional Brains module was added to the Pressure Points module to enhance the rhythmic potential of the interface.

I am including the original mk1 to enable it to be reset to original condition of if you want to explore a slightly simpler sequencing option.

The system is arguably a richer more up-to-date example Buchla's Music Easel that trades richer sequencing potential for the larger keyboard of the Buchla instrument."

An incredible collection of more than 450 artifacts from the life and career of Florian Schneider, co-founder of the pioneer electronic band Kraftwerk."

Pics and videos featuring some of the gear below, and his Lederhosen for good measure (thanks greg!).

Update: the post has been fully updated with all the synth related gear. This may just well be the longest post to be featured on the site. I wanted to capture all the pics for all of the details including notes, scuffs, and of course serial numbers. It's an interesting look into what he used, the condition he keped his gear, in some cases, how he actually used his gear. Note the phonetics on the keys of the Casio CZ-101 and DX-100. Note the Midi Switch Box with a built-in speaker? What's that about? Note the camouflage key strap on the Korg RK-100 Remote Keyboard. Did he pick it out himself or did the keytar just come with it? Note the repeat midi controllers and the MIDI saxaphones. Wind was his primary instrument. You'll find a ton of the acoustic gear he used in the other listings. This is a fascinating insight into both what and how he used his gear.

Rack Mount Sennheiser VSM-201 Vocoder

Starting Bid $5,000

Estimate $20,000 - $40,000 USD

A late 1970s Sennheiser VSM 201 Vocoder with no serial number from the personal studio and collection of Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk (see images). While it’s said that only a few dozen of these Vocoders were produced, a few examples made it into the hands of forward-thinking musical artists including Herbie Hancock, Daft Punk, and of course, Kraftwerk, who used a VSM-201 like this on their albums Man Machine (1978) and Computerworld (1981). The VSM-201 has an intelligible sound that has not yet been bested by modern gear. Includes power cable. This VSM-201 has been removed from its wooden enclosure (which bears the serial number plate) and modified with a metal rack mount casing, presumably for live use. Requires 240v, IEC power cable not included.

Dimensions: 19 x 9 x 9 inches
