MiniBrute 2 has evolved from the legendary monosynth that revolutionized the analog scene with its mixable waveforms, Steiner-Parker filter, and Brute Factor. Now with semi-modular architecture, you can splice its genome and expand its raw power into the world of Eurorack modular. From the earliest electronic instruments, synthesizers have expanded and enhanced the possibilities available to musicians. We decided not only to apply this mantra to the sound of our new instrument, but to synthesizer itself. MiniBrute 2 was born! A synthesizer that would sound huge and yet be compact, self-contained and versatile. An instrument that would be both comprehensive and evolving.
The MiniBrute 2 has nothing to hide. Take a look at its front panel, get yourself acquainted. You’ll notice the now-iconic Brute oscillators, the acidic Steiner-Parker filter, and the mayhem-inducing Brute Factor knob that has become the signature Arturia synth element for many fans.
Looking a bit further, beyond the usual modulation sources and controls, you’ll notice some exciting, unexpected features: a second VCO; a second LFO; new VCO and Filter frequency modulation possibilities; modifier-related modulation destinations; a brand new, loopable AD envelope. Once tamed, this little beast will reveal the full range of its vocalizations, including raging leads and piercing sequences, as well as smooth pads and purring bass."

"Now available as a double CD with an 8-page booklet & download
Tone Science sub-label, from DiN records, concludes it’s exploration of the world of modular synth music.
Since the first volume in the Tone Science series was released in 2018, seventy-two musicians in total have joined in with this celebration of the musical possibilities of modular synthesis. These artists have been from a huge range of backgrounds but have all shared the unifying purpose of showcasing the incredible variety of sonic possibilities these instruments can offer.

Since the first volume in the Tone Science series was released in 2018, seventy-two musicians in total have joined in with this celebration of the musical possibilities of modular synthesis. These artists have been from a huge range of backgrounds but have all shared the unifying purpose of showcasing the incredible variety of sonic possibilities these instruments can offer.
The intervening seven years have seen the modular synth world expanding at an exponential rate and whilst one wouldn’t go so far as to say these synths are mainstream, they are certainly far more prevalent than in the past. It’s especially gratifying to see so many musicians now either play solo sets with them or to include them in their onstage arsenal.
Thus we come to this, the final instalment in the Tone Science series. Nothing lasts forever and certainly stopping at this nice round number of ten seems like a good way to not only end the series but to release the Final Patch, a real celebration of what has gone before and perhaps to hint at what is possible for the future. A beautifully packaged double CD featuring twenty artists who have appeared on previous iterations of the series, it really is a who’s who of modular synth musicians. The release is accompanied by an eight-page booklet with an essay by Neil Mason and some final words from the guiding force behind the whole project, Ian Boddy, label boss at DiN. And as Boddy so succinctly puts it in his liner notes, “for me, despite the technological nature of the equipment, the emotional quality of the music is the single most important factor”. The Final Patch certainly delivers on that ethos.
"Today we are going to check out the new module from the Tiptop & Buchla 200t serie: the Triple Envelope Follower Model 230t.
It's a fantastic addition to the 200t echosystem, that will let you control dynamic or timing with external audio such as, microphone, samples, drum pads, electric instruments, field recording or anything in that spirit.
It can also be used as an decay envelope in the system or in compression / expansion patches."
TipTop Buchla 230t – Triple Envelope Follower // Interact with your patches!
"The Buchla 230 is here, and while it might not be the shiniest module (I know you're lusting after the tenth granular effect or the twelfth tape-inspired contraption), it's quite a useful and FUN one!
Not only does it stop the modular from being this separated entity, and it gives it back the ability to listen and interact with the real world, but analysing the internal signals can be a productive endeavour too.
In this video, I'll show you some cool patches, and I will introduce the concept of sidechain in the Buchla system, which in this case was used in the most common way we associate with the term, but it can also be a powerful tool to swell reverbs, make multiple voices arise in a sea of notes, and, in general, make more lively patches :)"

from Dani: "When I take inventory on why modular synths remain compelling to me, it is because the format puts one in direct conversation with _voltage_. As mentioned in other videos, every signal in a modular synth is voltage -- some of it moves quickly enough to hear, some of it moves slowly and is excellent for modulation, but pushing this common denominator to its edges often leads me to make choices that a computer or desktop synth simply cannot facilitate with the same improvisational ease. But I also love working with computers as an end-of-chain glue -- not just for editing or effects, but to bring a new set of possibilities to the playground.
This video is a supercut of two processes:
a. The core is a conversation between Cold Mac and Just Friends. Just Friends provides cycling envelopes and pulses, which run through a self-patched Cold Mac. Though Cold Mac is primarily known as a utility module, cross-patching its wavefolders and slews creates gnarly delights out of simple input signals. Adding the inherent rhythmic interrelation of envelopes from different channels of Just Friends to the mix can quickly create a fuzzed-out chaotic drum machine with low subs and bursts of noise. Modulating SURVEY, both by hand and voltage, reveals a world of timbral shapes.
b. While (a.) was exciting and revelatory, it was missing something. Whenever I sequence drums, I love to layer percussive hits with additional samples -- so I took to @kriista's Data Knot, which packages FluCoMa's real-time descriptor analysis tools into an army of useful Max/MSP objects. Data Knot allowed me to use audio from my 'utility drum machine' to crawl through slices of @natesmithdrumsofficial's Pocket Change and a Bonnie Raitt isolated vocal track, which filled things out in a really fun way.
Both the original modular-only recording and the responses of Data Knot are layered to create this hybrid result which, to me, feels really organic and fluid."
"I know that sounds over the top - but it’s true.
It taught me to listen more deeply.
To embrace imperfection.
To find creative flow again, and more importantly… to find JOY in my music-making again.
Rediscovering the joy of experimenting, exploring, and making weird sounds just for fun. 🙂
I’m teaching a free online class next week – it’s equal parts about getting started with modular synths, AND about simply giving yourself permission to experiment and play.
Permission to try something new.
Permission to follow your curiosity and see where it leads.
If you’ve been curious about the world of synths but not sure where to begin, this class was made for YOU.
It’s free, it’s beginner-friendly, and you don’t need any special gear.
Go to the link in my bio if you’d like the link to register."
"When I was first learning modular synths, people would tell me that the best way to learn was to “just plug cables in, turn knobs, see what happens—you’ll figure it out!” Even today I sometimes get messages when I share my online modular synthesis course, saying “Who needs a course to learn this? Just plug cables in!” On the one hand, I completely agree that exploration, experimentation, & play are super valuable parts of learning any new instrument, & you CAN get really far with modular just by listening, turning knobs, & seeing what emerges. But—I also remember how I personally felt when I was told that as a beginner. I’m sure their intentions were for me to feel inspired, lighter, & less concerned with “getting it right.” But instead? I felt paralyzed. “What do you mean, just plug things in!? Where do I even begin? What if I break something?” I’m sure this works for some; but for me the lack of guidance made me lock up & get super nervous. Instead of experimenting, I felt overwhelmed & stupid for not “getting it” right away. I’m sharing this because I’ve realized over the years that this isn’t unique to me. Some folks work well with exploring & others thrive in a more structured environment. I create all my synthesis classes for folks in both worlds, who want to get deeper into their music-making AND want support to help them get there. The amazing thing is that for SO many of the ppl who initially feel overwhelmed, as soon as they’re given step-by-step structure & support they immediately feel more empowered to experiment—& from there? They take off 🔥🚀 PS: If you haven't heard yet, I'm running a free live workshop (online) next week, all about getting started with modular synths—with clarity and confidence, instead of overwhelm and doubt. I'll share the first steps to getting started, a simple process for building synth patches, how to develop your sound design skills, and we'll have an open Q+A to address any of your questions live!

New Motif, Rhythm and Modulation Features for The NDLR Rev2 are here!
Conductive Labs is proud to announce Release 3 firmware for The NDLR Rev2. This significant feature update enables deeper rhythmic and melodic exploration for its flagship MIDI Groove Box. The Update is available now at ConductiveLabs.com along with an updated User Manual.
Release 3 unlocks advanced creative tools for live performance and studio production, including:
● Euclidean Rhythm Mode for the Motif Rhythm Editor – Users can now generate rhythms using the Euclidean Algorithm by setting the length (4-32), number of beats and rotation (offset), ideal for complex and world beat style rhythms and evolving patterns. ● Motif Pattern Step Modulation – Enables dynamic modulation of individual steps in a motif pattern, perfect for creating evolving basslines and more varied melodic sequences. ● Perlin Noise Pattern Generator – Creates organic, evolving note patterns for The NDLR’s two Motif parts. ● Motif Gate Length Control – Offers fine-tuned control over gate length for each motif part. ● Global Patch Save Slots Increased from 8 to 20 – More onboard storage devoted to global patches and settings. ● New Mod Matrix Destinations – Expanded modulation capabilities for Perlin Noise parameters, Motif Gate, PAD Strum, Spread and more. ● Save/Load Perlin Noise Pattern Generator Parameters – In addition to saving in global patches, users can now store and recall custom Perlin Noise settings separately. ● Drone part note velocity is now configurable. ● Additional MIDI CCs for new features. ● And various usability and MIDI synchronization enhancements. See the updated User Manual in the downloads section.
Released in September 2023, The NDLR Rev2 is easily identifiable by its signature red powder-coated base and continues to be a favorite among synth enthusiasts and modular synthesists for its deep integration of rhythm, harmony, and modulation. The NDLR Rev2 is available now at ConductiveLabs.com and through select music equipment retailers worldwide. Release 3 firmware is a free update for all The NDLR Rev2 owners, and those who participated in the NDLR Rev1 upgrade kit crowdfunding. If you missed the crowdfunding, a limited number of upgrade kits will be made available at ConductiveLabs.com in September 2025.
What is The NDLR? The NDLR (pronounced “The Noodler”) is a multi-part, polyphonic, sequenced arpeggiator. Or it could be described as an Interval Sequencer MIDI Groove Box, if you like. Programming a traditional sequencer gets you a melody, but when it comes to changing the Key or Chord it becomes a challenging production. The NDLR solves this problem by playing all of the parts out of a common note pool, so when you change the Chord all the parts change with it. Little effort, big results! Get your synths playing in time, in key and make great electronic music without being a master at the keyboard.
"In this video, we take another look at UTF-8 SAMPLIFIED – the fully open-source 8-bit Eurorack drum module I released with ASCII Synth. It’s made its way into racks all over the world, and even into DIY workshops like the one run by mzourack at Noise Kitchen in Prague.
Now it’s getting even better:
Thanks to a pull request by community member poetaster, three new kits have been added: 808, Jungle, and Beatbox – plus a handy wav2c.py script that lets you convert your own samples into custom kits!

Following the SUPERBOOTH25 in May of this year, the SUPERBOOTH BERLIN is excited to be able to confirm the date for the next edition of the world’s largest trade fair and festival for electronic musical instruments:
The SUPERBOOTH26 will be happening from the 7th to the 9th of May 2026 at the FEZ-Berlin.
The 2026 date will also mark the ten year anniversary of the SUPERBOOTH as an independent festival and trade fair for electronic musical instruments — all the more reason to celebrate!
Reflecting back on this year’s SUPERBOOTH25, the SUPERBOOTH is happy to report that this year’s edition was again a big success overall that brought together more guests and exhibitors than any previous SuperBooth, with over 8800 attendees, as well as 301 exhibitors from 31 countries celebrating the practice and culture of electronic musical instruments across three days.
With overwhelmingly positive feedback across the board from visitors, exhibitors and the press, the SUPERBOOTH’s singular combination of a trade fair and festival has once again proved its unique appeal and staying power, even beyond the world of hardware synthesizers, since software and pro audio — with 38 exhibitors from 9 countries in the pro audio area — have now also firmly established themselves at the SUPERBOOTH.
"Modular synths are more than tools, they're reality itself. This video explores why digital music can never truly be real, and why analog gear remains the only way to feel sound at the source.
The world is in transit, like it or not. Music evolved from the stage into the box, from real media to streams, and now from streams into learning models, weights, and rewards. We can endlessly debate whether AI is OK or not, but we can’t put the demons back into their bottles.
It’s a non-religious blessing to patch a real machine with real voltage. Every sound I make is Karma: cause and effect, wrapped in a false sense of choice and control. I love it. It’s a sanctuary.
And the VHIKK? Everything I say about it will only give you GAS. It’s one of the finest modules Eurorack has to offer, and currently my #1 module. So maybe don’t watch this video if you’re on a tight budget. Or… maybe watch it very carefully. Because you might just build the ultimate tiny case with it.
All you need is VHIKK and Pam Pro. Don’t forget power, but you won’t even need an output module. VHIKK X can run on USB power. Build a tiny wooden case. Maybe I will too.
We modular people are still a niche. A tiny community moving upstream and uphill — while the world flows downward. And it’s an honor to be part of it."

"I was doubtful whether sensors would be fun tools to create music with - beta-testing the Koma Elektronik Field Kit sensors taught me otherwise. They are ideal creative tools in that they make you think differently and far out of the box. Perfect for breaking writer's block or pure musical enjoyment."
Press release for the new Sensei module follows:
"Berlin-based synth makers KOMA Elektronik introduce Sensei, a new Eurorack module designed to connect your modular system with the world around you. Whether it's light, movement, heat, or touch, Sensei lets you patch your environment. "Originally based on the Sensor Interface from the KOMA Field Kit, Sensei is a standalone Eurorack module built for artists, experimental musicians, and installation creators who want to go „beyond the knob“. Two sensor inputs (one for continuous signals, one for triggers and switches) allow for expressive, non-traditional control over CV and gate signals. From subtle environmental fluctuations like heat or wind to pulsing club energy fired by strobe lights, Sensei makes your surroundings part of the music.
Users can choose from KOMA's established lineup of Field Kit Sensors currently available:
- Light - Temperature - Sound - Touch - Movement (Accelerometer) - A Micro Sequencer with three modes - Softpotentiometer - Ball Switch - Button / Jack Input or plug in their own Arduino / DIY sensors with standard three-pin connectors. And even without sensors, Sensei offers creative functionality: it doubles as a re-triggerable saw/triangle envelope, voltage processor with gain and offset, or a simple CV source. Key features:
2 sensor channels: one continuous, one switch/gate style Built-in analog processing (offset & gain) Re-triggerable envelope mode (saw & inverse saw, gate & inverse gate) Works with KOMA and standard 3-pin sensors Perfect for installations, generative patches & sound experiments
With Sensei, modular becomes tactile, responsive, and alive. Your modular just grew a few more senses! KOMA is currently running an introductory sale on their Sensors that you should grab if you are interested!

from Dani:
"One of my favorite aspects of modular synthesis is that signals we can hear are made of the same basic building block as signals which provide control and modulation -- they're all just voltage moving at different rates!
When we use an audio signal in the place of control voltage, we're touching into a technique broadly known as audio-rate modulation. Using audio-rate modulation in the Whimsical Raps ecosystem is incredibly rewarding, as it can unlock unexpected behaviors in familiar and new modules alike.
Here, Mangrove (our formant oscillator) modulates Silhouette's (our new 'signal combiner') SPOT, which is mixing six audio channels from Just Friends (our six-voice digital oscillator). I noticed that sending Mangrove into SPOT bleeds Mangrove's audio signal into the mix, so I tuned Mangrove to harmonize with Just Friends. This endowed FORMANT changes with new power, adding harmonic depth to the chaotic modulation -- notice the sizzle around 0:30 as FORMANT is cranked up.
Once INTONE adds distance between the ratios of Just Friends' oscillations, I reduce FORMANT to a low-frequency grumble -- I particularly enjoyed Silhouette's delayed vocalizations of these changes across the stereo field. Manually scanning SPOT offsets the input channels we're highlighting, which reveals the new INTONE-spread pitches. Increasing FORMANT introduces audible discontinuities as Mangrove regains its pitch, which are unique in the left and right channels. A final INTONE adjustment is added for performative spice, which is caught by the bucket-brigade device for a muted splash of stereo color."
