New SEOK Eurorack Modules - DRIPS, AT, M22, & ROTARIES

SEOK - DRIPS – Voltage Controlled Analog Filter [DEMO no talk]

video upload by SEOK synthesizers

via SEOK Eurorack Modules

DRIPS

A warm and bubbly 12 dB/oct analog Eurorack filter with dual voltage control of frequency. Low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass outputs in one compact 8 hp module.

With external signals, the filter stays soft, clean, and precise. Adding resonance gives a liquid acid tone (like a good filter coffee). When driven into self-oscillation, it produces sine waves perfect for deep bass, kicks, and percussive sounds.

An integrated VCA placed after the filter lets you shape both tone and dynamics in a single path – precise when clean, saturated and raw when pushed.

Raise the offset to move seamlessly from rhythmic sequences to heavy drones.

Background:
We wanted to build a versatile Eurorack VCF/VCA with a balanced function-to-HP ratio. For us, ergonomics are as important as function – it should feel intuitive and spacious around the core controls.

And since we’re from Sweden, we couldn’t resist adding a little warmth.

Olivella Modular Furia | Discrete transistor filter & VCA

video upload by Tom Churchill

"Olivella Modular's Furia is a 4-pole transistor ladder filter, based on the E-mu Modular 2100 LPF designed by Dave Rossum in the 1970s, paired with a discrete transistor VCA with tons of gain. There are no ICs anywhere in the audio path, so it has an authentically vintage sound, and it distorts in a really musical way. In this video, I give an overview of Furia’s signal path and controls and build a few patches to demonstrate how it sounds.

Chapters:
00:00 Intro & patch previews
01:42 Furia overview
07:41 Pinging the input
09:41 Overdriven acid
13:54 Furia as a low-pass gate
16:39 Dirty drum machine preamp
22:00 Audio-rate cutoff modulation"

"FURIA is a discrete 4-pole ladder filter and a transistor VCA with a variable response CV curve control. It isn't 'just' a filter, but an all-around vintage-sounding sculpting and performing tool.

The filter section is based on the venerable E-mu Modular 2100 LPF, but unlike it, there're no ICs in the audio path - even the output stage op-amps are transistor based, both in the VCF and VCA sections.

As its name suggests, FURIA has plenty of gain on tap: the INPUT LEVEL knob starts distorting around 9 o'clock and interacts with the resonance in interesting ways, while the VCA and its X10 input switch can transform the filtered sound into nasty acid basslines - no external distortion required.

You can use the filter and VCA independently or in series, with an AMP CV input that's normalled to the FREQ CV input to facilitate a LPG-like configuration.

The AMP IN allows you to mix a signal into the VCA after the filter - for example, a higher register FM'd or wavefolded sine wave with a bassier filtered sawtooth from the LPF stage.

Unlike most ladder filters, FURIA's LPF is fully DC-coupled, though internal offsets may produce slight clicks at the VCA stage.
To remedy that, the DIP switch on the back lets you selectively AC-couple the VCF and VCA inputs and outputs, reducing clicks and offsets for audio purposes. It also allows you to change the VCF -> VCA normalling for series, parallel or independent use."

Minimal electronic with glitched piano sound : Between the waves 2025-10-26 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with norns shield and modular synthesizer — an ambient electronica work where glitch-processed piano tones emerge within waves of sustained electronic sound.

On the norns shield, the barcode script is used to record and play back synth pad performances from the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10. The connected ‪@KorgOfficial‬ NTS-3 adds reverb and occasional tremolo effects.

In the modular synthesizer, a piano performance is recorded into Morphagene, which is then modulated with CV signals from Quad Function to create glitch variations. The modular output is split into two paths: the original signal from Morphagene, and another processed through a Clouds clone. The original path is further enhanced with ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, applying micro-loop effects for additional glitch textures."

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.

"While deep in its soul there’s a standard VCA with exponential response that can be used as such, in its heart pulses an AD envelope with a sharp attack and a variable decay internally connected to the VCA control input. When it opens its mouth it can whisper in your ear but don’t let this soft demeanor fool you, if driven to the extreme it will show its teeth and gnarly bite and chew on your cochleas with all its might.

The AD envelope has a fixed short Attack, just enough to avoid the typical “click” that happens when using a Gate signal to control a VCA, while the envelope Decay can be controlled via its knob or voltage controlled using the CV input and attenuverter.

We named it Percussion VCA as most percussion intruments have sharp attacks with variable decays just as its AD Envelope however it can be used for any purpose where a VCA is needed including for CV signals due to it’s DC coupled signal path.

Furthermore it also allows to be driven from a simple Gate signal while controlling its decay. This way it’s easy to plug a noise source, vco or any audio and turn that source into a percussive element."

Multimode Tube Filter, Saturator & Beyond! // VAMP from Apollo View Modular

video upload by DivKid

"With Vamp Apollo View modular took the early Korg MS-20 and MS-10 filter designs, which favoured non-linear character over stability and control, they added more character with a tube input saturation stage and tube resonance feedback path, further output clipping stage options and then designed in modern stability and control. I joke in the video the filter is so rubbery it might as well be wearing a gimp mask. Vamp is also multimode with low pass, band pass and high pass modes with routable pre/post VCA and gain option, smart normalled CV options and prevision circuitry to turn it into a full single module tube voice, killer kick drum and more.

VAMP
8HP Multi-Mode LP/BP/HP Sallen-Key Filter with Tube Saturation & Distortion

VAMP is a multi-mode analogue filter that gives you low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass responses in a compact 8HP design. At its heart lies a classic Sallen-Key topology supercharged with real vacuum tube (12AU7) saturation and multiple stages of clipping, letting you move seamlessly from smooth, hi-fi filtering to snarling, overdriven character.

One half of the tube is used to saturate the input, while the other half provide MS-20-inspired resonance limiting (tube, not diodes). With FLOW placing the VCA pre-tube or post-filter, and FANGS selecting Off / Soft / Hard output clipping, VAMP ranges from subtle warmth to ferocious harmonic destruction.

The First Synth with a Cause

GS Music leads with its synths in the fight for breast cancer prevention and early detection

After 11 years of dreaming, GS Music finally brings to life a project that speaks to the very heart of its team: supporting breast cancer awareness and early detection. The Argentinian brand — the first to manufacture polyphonic analog synthesizers in Latin America — launches a limited edition of the Pink E7, a synth that doesn’t just resonate sonically but vibrates with purpose.

“67% of our assembly team is made up of women. For us, it’s important that our actions align with the DNA of our team,”

says Elena Epuin, founder of GS Music and the main driving force behind this heartfelt campaign.

Breast cancer is a disease that can affect women at any moment in their lives. That emotional proximity to the cause is what led the team to finally bring an old idea to life — one that had been evolving for years.

A synth with soul (and heart)

“The idea of the pink synths has been in our heads for a long time,” Elena explains.

“For us, it’s vital to keep our synths connected to the human side of things. The E7 doesn’t just have a great sonic soul — it has a human soul too. I believe that’s why our clients stay in touch long after buying their synths.”

The result is a limited run of four Pink E7 units, in a soft baby pink tone with transparent iridescent knobs that perfectly blend tender visual design with raw sonic power. A true analog beast — seven voices of polyphony, multitimbral, with a fully analog signal path — now with a cause beyond the music.

All proceeds from the sale of these four special units will be donated in full to a leading oncological institution in Buenos Aires, reinforcing a campaign that goes far beyond sound.

A Batman, an idea, and a city

As a creative twist, Elena had an unexpected idea: she invited Buenos Aires’ own Batman influencer, with over 60,000 followers on Instagram, to join the campaign.

The result was an iconic and moving encounter that brought together synths, social awareness, and a local superhero who represents strength, visibility, and commitment to real-world causes.

And yes, here are the photos from that unforgettable moment — even Batman showed up for this.

Creative Eurorack Distortion & How To Use It // HEAD BANGER from Setonix Synth & Robots Are Red

video upload by DivKid

"Distortion has been an essential tool for my music making for most of my life, whether that was playing guitar, working with synths in amps, re amping synths and production stems through pedal FX or smashing mixers, tape machines and other gear I've always found it fascinating and with the options to CV control distortion in modular it's even better!

Head Banger from Setonix Synth & Robots Are Red takes the Swedish Death Metal sound of the Boss Heavy Metal pedal, heavily re vamps it for a wide range of input sources, adds CV control and a creative feedback path and presents itself in Eurorack form. While the name and styling lean on the metal heritage it's been interesting to find a subtler warmth and crunch, synths in tube amp like tones and blown out noisy cassette style grunge for more ambient music.

Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere Plugin

video upload by Nembrini Audio

Press release follows:

"Nembrini Audio Launches The Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere Plugin

Classic Rotary Sounds With Rich Tube Warmth And Easy Rotor Speed Control

3rd October 2025: Nembrini Audio is pleased to launch the Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere plugin, an authentic digital emulation of the acclaimed Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere MKII Rotary Speaker* simulator. Listen to it here and see it here.

In the 1960’s the Leslie Speaker System*, originally developed in the 1930’s for the Hammond Organ, began to be used for guitars by The Beatles, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour and more. In the 1990’s Hughes & Kettner, a highly respected manufacturer of instrument amplifiers, cabinets and effect boxes, created the Tube Rotosphere pedal, an extremely accurate, analog reproduction of the Leslie Speaker System.

More than thirty years later, Nembrini ‘s new plugin breathes fresh life into this cool sound with the introduction of a realistic digital simulation of the much admired Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere. Celebrated for its rich tube-driven character and highly musical rotary modulation, the original hardware was used keyboardists and guitarists seeking the iconic swirling depth of a classic rotary cabinet, with the warmth of real tube saturation. The new Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere plugin faithfully captures every nuance of its analog counterpart, offering everything from subtle to dramatic Doppler-infused motion, with can be seamlessly integrated into any rig.

Nembrini’s advanced modelling technology captures all of the lush swirl, warm tube saturation and authentic rotary motion of the original pedal. The key features of the new plugin include true to life emulation of the analog circuitry and tube preamp behaviour, independent rotor speed simulation with separate LF and HF controls allowing precise adjustment and a breaker switch for realistic ramp-up/down and rotor stop effect. There is also tube saturation modelling with visual feedback, rotor balance control for fine tuning the blend and a stereo signal path for wide, immersive rotary modulation.

The Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere plugin desktop version is available at the introductory price of $29.99 (normally $99) until the October 31st 2025.

GAMECHANGER Launches the MOTOR Pedal

You can find demos in previous posts here.

Check with dealers on the right on availability and price.

Press release follows:

"Gamechanger Audio Officially Releases the MOTOR Pedal

Electromechanical sound. A gas pedal for your guitar. The ultimate analog noise-machine.

Riga, Latvia – September 29, 2025

After years of development and anticipation, Gamechanger Audio is proud to announce that the MOTOR Pedal is finally available to the public. First teased as a wild experiment back in 2019 and reintroduced earlier this spring as a pre-order, the MOTOR Pedal is now shipping worldwide—bringing a completely new category in sound and performance machines to guitarists, producers, and sonic explorers everywhere.

At its core, the MOTOR Pedal is built on two groundbreaking technical achievements:
A fully controllable musical motor oscillator that transforms brushless DC motors into living, breathing sound sources.
An proprietary monophonic pitch-tracking engine that follows guitars and virtually any instrument with surgical accuracy.
These breakthroughs were forged over years of experimentation. From 2019 to 2022, Gamechanger Audio developed and released the MOTOR Synth MKI and MKII—the world’s first polyphonic synthesizers to use electric motors as vari-speed oscillators. More recently, the company perfected pitch tracking with its acclaimed AUTO Series pedals, released late 2024 The MOTOR Pedal builds directly on these innovations, fusing them into a compact stompbox—creating a powerful, unpredictable, and endlessly fun performance tool.

And in true Gamechanger style, it’s not just about the sound. The MOTOR Pedal introduces a completely new way to control it: a real acceleration foot pedal. This gas-pedal-style controller turns dynamics, pitch bends, and rhythmic sweeps into something you literally drive, delivering an adrenaline-fueled approach to expression that no other stompbox offers.

“Back in 2019, the original MOTOR Pedal was just a spark that set this whole journey in motion - what if we could play MOTORS as Oscillators!?” says Gamechanger Audio founder Ilya Krumins. “Since then, through the MOTOR Synth MKI and MKII and the AUTO Series, we’ve gone deeper and deeper into the world of electromechanical sound. At this point, we feel like we know pretty much everything there is to know about making music with motors and the MOTOR Pedal is the culmination of that knowledge, and the most fun, immediate and accessible way to experience it.”

Key Features:
● Real electromagnetic motor oscillator driven by precision pitch tracking
● Gas-pedal controller with five modes - for dynamic, physical expression
● Hybrid electromechanical + digital signal path for unique textures - five MOTOR engines - each with unique sound
● Compact form factor built for pedalboards, studios, and live rigs
● Replaceable motor block for extended lifetime and serviceability
● Powered by Gamechanger Audio’s MOTOR Synth (MKI & MKII) and AUTO Series technology

The MOTOR Pedal is now shipping worldwide from www.gamechangeraudio.com and with selected dealers world-wide.
The MOTOR Pedal is priced at 399 USD and 399 EUR (incl. VAT) respectively.

via this Reverb listing

"I got this unique synthesizer new, directly from Jürgen Michaelis (Jomox) in 2019 - Serial No. 58. I‘ve only used it a few times, because I haven’t had the time to dive fully into its features.

I still think it has a lot of potential:

- Fully analog signal path

- 6 neurons, which are like voices, combining an oscillator, a resonant filter, envelopes and a special mini-sequencer (see below)

- Each neuron has its own output and also the stereo mix, and can be triggered separately (via round robin notes, or different MIDI channels) or in unison

- Neurons can feedback into each other and themselves, FM each other and “genetically modify“ each other (see below)

- At the same time, neurons can play notes, via MIDI, with the relationships between them still in place - so as if the six voices of a polysynth were all connected to each other

- Each neuron has a mini byte sequencer, which can be used to sequence the filter cutoff, or the steps can be interpreted as a sample, or waveform of the oscillator!

- The sequences of each neuron can also interact with each other, combining in different defined ways to create new, evolved sequences as they run

- There are two external audio inputs, which can be used as the exciter of two of the neurons instead of the oscillator, so you can process external stereo sound as part of the craziness

- You can play it as a 6-voice polysynth if you want!

Perfect condition, comes with original box and individual power supplies for 100-120V and 220-240V."

Antonus 2600 DIY - Test Drive

video upload by Tumeni Knobs

"This is my Antonus 2600 - I just completed building it from the synthCube.com full DIY kit. It is a huge project! Working on it in my free time, it took six months for me to complete. But I'm sure a full-time builder could do it in a couple of weeks. I actually love that it took me this long. :-)

Anyway, since I first powered it up I have been testing, calibrating and starting to understand how it works, and yes, it deserves it's reputation as an awesome sounding and very flexible synthesizer.

This video is just me noodling on it using the Arturia KeyStep Pro with a sound/patch I really like. This is actually just one of its three oscillators, but I have the saw and square waves patched in. The other two oscillators are in LFO mode. The oscillator is using the ADSR envelope and the filter is using the AR envelope plus an LFO to modulate it - makes some interesting accents.

Effects are courtesy of the Fractal Audio VP4, which is an incredible pedal.

I thought adding some drums would give this more of a musical context, so I force-fit some patterns from EZ Drummer.

The opening groove is definitely reminiscent of Bluetech's Laika, from the Spacehop Chronicles album. It's intentional. :-) I really like his stuff! Go buy some at Bandcamp.

This signal path for this recording goes like this: 2600 into VP4 into iRig into iPhone. I then applied a little EQ in Studio One, just to trim out the extreme highs and lows - I did not use any compression on this.

Can't wait to make some "proper" music with this amazing synth.

Cheers!"

Explore the modular’s re-patching power

video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"With a modular you have full control over your signal path. This means you can combine modules and functions like oscillators, VCAs, and modulation sources in different ways, again and again. In this video I show how the ingredients for a ‘classic’ 2 oscillator voice can be expanded, and used to create a variety of interesting ‘simple’ dual voice setups."

Synthesizer-Wettbewerb, Beitrag "Ambient Jam"

video upload by KEYBOARDS

"Ambient Jam with Polyend/Dreadbox Medusa and a few iPad apps.

A total of only 6 tracks, a simple chord progression, but with Probability/Random Notes from the Medusa and a few effects. It's all very chilled out and only using my "desktop setup" in my office. Since I usually only make music with hardware, this is a nice change and a challenge for me.

To visualize the whole thing more appealingly, I used a freely available NASA video in the background, which can be used for non-commercial purposes. The video was created with Adobe Premiere Pro. Everything else in the video, and of course the music, is mine.

I use the Medusa with Probability for melodic to whiny synth sounds, mostly with the wavetable oscillators. During recording, I play around with the filters and oscillators. The Medusa sequencer is synced to AUM by Kymatica.

I also recorded the bass beforehand using the Medusa and its analog oscillators. This is played back via the Koala sampler.

The track begins with a synth pad from Synthscraper/Igor Vasiliev

and two tracks of 'synthetic' water (one via the Koala Sampler, the other via the Spacecraft granular sampler). I tinkered around until I managed to create something reminiscent of flowing water from the noise and other sounds.

Klevgrand's Hillman, a phaser-equipped organ synth, is used to give the track a bit of a retro flair.

To increase the dynamics, Klevgrand's REAMP, a tube amp simulation, is later used.

Reverb from Eventide (BlackHole) was used except on the bass.

The mastering was done with GrandFinale 2, which was already in the signal path during recording."
