Introducing Granulita Versio: Granular chord resynthesizer and shimmer reverb

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Meet Noise Engineering’s chord machine, Granulita Versio.

LIMITED QUANTITIES AVAILABLE: Get your Granulita here: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

This granular chord resynthesizer takes your audio, slices it into grains, and reconstructs it into chords, clusters, and shifting harmonies. Paired with a shimmering reverb that adds glowing tails and angelic overtones, Granulita can turn even a single oscillator into something lush, cinematic, or beautifully haunted.

Granulita is part of the Versio platform, so once you’ve got your hands on this module, you can swap the firmware with any other Versio effect for free. Unpower the module, plug in the USB, and visit noiseengineering.us to make the swap.

Press release follows:

Noise Engineering announces Granulita Versio, a granular chord resynthesizer and shimmering reverb.

Contact: kris@noiseengineering.us

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their innovative platform modules, has released Granulita Versio, a granular chord resynthesizer and shimmering reverb.

Granulita Versio offers a simple solution to a complex modular problem. Chords, while beautiful, are difficult and resource-heavy to patch in a Eurorack system. Granulita solves this by generating harmonies for any input signal using a unique granular process. The Chord and Voice parameters allow the user to choose a chord and the note that follows the input signal.

The unquantized Pitch parameter adds an extra layer of harmonic options via transposition, detuning or vibrato.

For fans of granular processing, the Count and Length parameters will be familiar, Granulita can generate any number of grains from zero to 32, and grains can be 16 milliseconds to four seconds long. A modal trigger input and manual button add to the granular fun: freeze grains, sync their playback to an external clock or tap tempo, or use a trigger sequence to manually fire off grain playback.

No granular module would be complete without some atmospheric effects, so Granulita also adds the simple Verb parameter to add in some space. Below noon, small echoes put a patch in a realistic space – but turn up the parameter to add in shimmering octave overtones and feedback into infinity.

Part of the flexible Versio platform, Granulita will be available as an alternate firmware for all Versio owners, completely free, at the Noise Engineering firmware app. However, Granulita breaks the mold with a limited-edition hardware release: only 100 Granulita Versios with exclusive art will be produced, the perfect purchase for collectors or, perhaps, as a holiday gift for the granular enthusiast in your life.

Granulita Versio’s limited run starts December 11th at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.

Features
● Turn a monophonic signal into a full chord with ease
● Easily create gentle or ominous timbres from any input
● Modulate between 16 resynthesized chord shapes using the CV-controllable Chord and Voice parameters
● Use Count and Length to change the number and size of grains
● Add subtle atmosphere or shimmering, infinite reverb with the Verb parameter
● Create massive soundscapes or use external triggers to fire or freeze grains
● Play grains forwards, backwards, or in random directions

Availability and pricing:
Granulita Versio: Limited run in stock. Shipping from Noise Engineering and retailers starting December 11th, 2025; MSRP US$393

Feedback Fight! Umbra Takes on Dark Matter

"In this video we compare Isobar’s Umbra, a powerful stereo feedback accumulator, with Bastl’s Dark Matter, the cult-favorite feedback and distortion module, to see how each shapes sound in a Eurorack system. This head-to-head demo explores their strengths and differences. This comparison will help you decide which feedback module is right for your setup."

Discover the POWER of Feedback with Isobar's Umbra

video upload by Metamyther

"Discover Umbra, the cutting-edge stereo feedback accumulator designed for adventurous sound designers, new from Isobar. With its unique approach to feedback through a send and return effect loop, Umbra opens up massive sonic possibilities, delivering everything from subtle textures to chaotic walls of sound."

04:46 - Drum Example
06:49 - Saturation
07:35 - Multigrain
08:17 - Cursus Melody

"Umbra is a dual channel feedback processor with three discrete transistor core VCA pairs. Route any eurorack-level effects, compressors or filters through its send/return paths to create feedback loops ranging from subtle textured echoes to howling walls of sound. The input level VCA is positioned before the feedback circuit, allowing time based sounds to fade naturally when the VCA is closed. A soft clipping stage after all feedback keeps levels controlled while adding nonlinearities and character. The left-right channel normalling allows for both mono-to-stereo or true stereo operation.

Features:
- Discrete transistor core VCAs for input gain (L and R), VCA pair for return gain, and VCA pair for feedback amount.
- Switchable between stereo operation and serial mono operation, where the output of the left channel enters the input on the right channel, doubling up on feedback and processing, indicated by the color of the LEDs. Orange L and R channels = Stereo operation, Orange L channel, Blue R channel = Serial operation
- Asymmetric diode soft clipping distortion at output.
Level LEDs for input level and return level, to keep feedback, drive and gain under control.

Uses:
- Adding a filter, filter bank, delay, reverb, waveshaper, or any other effect into the feedback loop.
- Heavy soft clipping distortion.
- No input feedback mixing.
- 3 stage VCA with distortion"

The Head Banger is Pure Sonic Destruction

video upload by Metamyther

"The Head Banger Eurorack distortion module is a raw, aggressive tool designed for pushing sounds to their absolute limit. This brutal distortion module delivers crushing overdrive and a send/return that can feedback, ensuring explosive walls of sound. The Head Banger adds a unique, high-voltage character that cuts through any mix. Perfect for any system that needs to hit hard."

via Setonix Synth

"The HEAD BANGER Heavy Metal Distortion brings the authentic “chainsaw” sound made famous by the Swedish Death Metal scene to your Eurorack synthesizer! This tonal monster conjures an unholy union between high-quality VCA circuitry and the most legendary distortion circuit in Heavy Metal!

The HEAD BANGER (a collaboration between SetonixSynth and Robots Are Red) gives the modular-based metalhead total control over a wide range of tone parameters: a three-band EQ with 20dB of boost/cut per band, Distortion amount, plus bass boost (Doom) and soft limiting (Crush) switches. These controls will faithfully recreate the classic compressed, grinding Gothenburg sound when fully “dimed,” but they can also provide a great range of saturation reminiscent of 4-track tape and vintage consumer mixers at other settings.

So, users pursuing more mellow sounds need not fret: despite its “heavy metal” tag, the Head Banger offers a fantastic range of distortion flavors perfect for subtly or un-subtly “"warming up” just about any sound that dares approach its input.

But if you thought Jack (Setonix) and Brian (RAR) would simply emulate a famous pedal and call it a day, you would be gravely mistaken! The Head Banger is fully optimized for use with your drums, oscillators, filters and other modular audio effects. It offers full CV control over Input Gain, Feedback amount with Send/Return loop, and Dry/Wet mix. This allows the user to create a dense web of sound and selectively re-integrate it with the original input signal in a number of interesting ways.

With the arrival of the Head Banger, Eurorack users finally have access to the most highly regarded distortion circuit in aggressive music. And now it has more CV control and synth-friendliness than ever! For anyone with a love of harsh, heavy, and/or distorted sounds, the Head Banger is a must-have!"
