"Entomo- is one of the first synths that I released. I recently came across some old stock and decide to reissue these.
Entomo- is a 6 oscillator drone synth that can be powered with a 9V source or a CV signal.
Entomo- creates a wide range of drone and noise sounds. Activate the oscillators using the patch bay and included jumper wires. Cross modulate signals to disrupt and dictate the sound. From drones to noise to rhythmic chatter and glitching.

"STIGMA is not just a module: it is a destructive, versatile analog sonic organism, powered by real vacuum tubes and designed to disrupt your Eurorack ecosystem.
Built with a flexible True Stereo and Dual Mono architecture, STIGMA offers total control over signal routing, allowing you to process independent sources or shape the stereophonic space with dense, harmonically rich tube saturation.
From Signal Processor to Pure Synthesizer While STIGMA is designed to filter, mangle, and brutally distort any external source (drum machines, oscillators, full mixes), it also hides an autonomous and unpredictable soul.
By driving the filter into self-oscillation, the module transforms into a fully-fledged solo synthesizer or a formidable percussive sound generator. By modulating the resonance and leveraging the lightning-fast response of its circuitry, STIGMA can sculpt devastating kicks, metallic toms, and thick, industrial percussive textures, saturated directly by the tube stage.
Key Features: True Stereo & Dual Mono: Two completely independent tube channels for maximum routing flexibility.
Warmth & Destruction: A tube saturation and distortion stage to go from subtle analog warmth to harsh, destructive clipping.
Advanced Filtering: Analog filters molded around the tube character, capable of cutting through the mix or screaming when pushed to the limit.
Self-Oscillation & Percussive Engine: Generate heavy kicks, industrial toms, and unique percussive sounds by using the circuit's self-oscillation as a sound source.
Eurorack Interface: Integrated CV controls for total, dynamic interaction with the rest of your modular system."

"Erica Synths Razornator is the 4th 112dB collaboration FX unit and it's a resonator like no other. In this hands-on walkthrough I build an entire track (strings, dubby stabs and thunderous bass) from nothing but short pulses of noise fed into its Karplus-Strong like resonators. If you want to know what the Razornator actually sounds like before you buy, this deep-dive demo is for you.
The Razornator packs 10 resonators (five stereo pairs), a resonant low-pass filter, +24dB of input gain, a built-in compressor and an envelope follower — all fully MIDI controllable. Originally a 1983 Karplus & Strong algorithm for plucked-string and percussive tones, Erica Synths and 112dB have turned it into a wildly flexible tone-generation and sound-mangling machine. I run through the signal path, the root/offset tuning, the gorgeous presets by Eraldo Bernocchi, and push it hard with synths, hi-hats and kicks. Resonator, but not as we know it."

"A unique stereo FX unit with an algorithm developed by Dutch company 112dB, the Razornator features 5 chromatically tuned resonating delay lines that can emulate the resonance of physical objects - bodies of instruments, rooms, structures. Chromatic tuning of the resonating delay lines makes the effect particularly musical, because it allows for aligning them in chord-like intervals, while the built-in envelope follower adds dynamics to the processed signal. Featuring 12 parameters for detailed sound design, save/recall functions for all parameters, MIDI control over all parameters and a sleek aluminium case to match our lineup of compact desktop units, the Razornator will let your setup take flight in any live show, studio or sonic experiment.
The Razornator combines several well considered and tuned “modules” for stereo audio processing with the aim of altering the harmonic content of the incoming signal. The signal path starts with an audio GAIN STAGE that boosts signals up to +24dB (it can effectively act as an analogue overdrive), then the signal is fed through the lowpass FILTER with a RESONANCE control and after filter treatment it passes through five chromatically tuned DELAY-BASED RESONATORS that can be manually tuned or controlled by the ENVELOPE FOLLOWER. After the resonators, the signal is summed and limited by the COMPRESSOR, then mixed with the dry signal and passed through the EQUALIZER and finally is sent to BALANCED OUTPUT stage. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS Product Features 5 chromatically tuned resonating delay lines Chromatic tuning Built-in envelope follower Save/recall functions for all 12 parameters Preset morphing Resonators tunings playable via MIDI Configurable footswitch input True stereo signal path Premium aluminum enclosure"

Jynth v2.0 update introduces two unique new feature: Preset Per Note & Preset Ribbon, inspired by the music of Aphex Twin.
Preset Per Note allows you to assign a different preset to each key of the piano keyboard, so that every note you play triggers not only a different pitch, but an entirely different sound — a new timbre, a new texture, a new character.
Preset Ribbon allows you to select a collection of presets and glide between them in real time, simply by sliding your finger across the ribbon.
Shape your sound with a full analog-style signal chain:
From the dual oscillators and resonant VCF filter to the ADSR envelope, LFO and built-in arpeggiator — every parameter has been carefully tuned to feel as musical as it sounds.
Go further with 5 studio-grade effects:
Tremolo, Flanger, Chorus, Delay & Reverb — stack them to build rich, evolving textures and cinematic soundscapes.

"It all works, all sliders, jacks, keys etc and sounds amazingly wicked. BUT there are a couple of sliders that have sputtered signal when moved at some point along the throw of the fader / knob… that said all sounds good without sputtered noise when set and left. This is pretty typical of a synth this age. Could use a detailed pot / slider cleaning / deoxit.
Also, while the keys trigger.. they could also benefit from a detailed contact cleaning. Again, this is a VERY common thing with roland synths of this era as we've had several SH5, SH3, SH7's etc… all had that issue. When we triggered this synth via external CV it played, responded and handled perfectly via another keyboard. BUT the keys do work."
"In this episode, Tom and Luke are joined by Fletcher from Forge-TME - the brains behind the highly sought-after Vhikk-X Eurorack module - for an extended chat at the Signal Sounds Glasgow HQ.
We cover the origin story of the brand, the development of the module and what owners can expect from the upcoming new algorithms, as well as reflecting on this year’s Superboth and the current modular landscape. Big thanks to Fletcher for coming up to hang out - this one was a lot of fun!
"I recently spent an evening exploring the Chompi Club running the Tempo firmware together with a few of my favorite effects pedals and recorded these three ambient sketches.
Rather than choosing one myself, I thought it would be interesting to share all three and hear your impressions.
Which sketch resonates with you the most: A, B, or C?
I'd love to know not only your favorite, but also why it connects with you.

The ellitone groov~e console is a new variant of the original groov~e device. The console version includes the same sounds as the original, but features several new additions including built-in stereo speaker system, battery-power, hardwood body/knobs, and individual volume control over each sound layer
The groov~e console is a fun and mysterious interactive drum-machine and polyphonic-synthesizer that automatically generates musical “grooves”. A “groove” consists of 3 individual sound layers: a drum-machine layer, an ambience-sample layer, and a polyphonic-synthesizer sequence layer. Each of these 3 sound layers can be individually tweaked or swapped out to find the right mixture of sounds to make you say “WHOAH, that’s funky!”.
