Introducing Crow 3, Double Helix Wavetable Processor, and Local Florist 2

Pittsburgh Modular Safari Series 9 is full of classic sounds, unique effects, and lo-fi digital chaos.

Crow 3 Filter
The latest iteration of the Crow pairs the destructive power of the original, Safari Series #1 module with the smoothest iteration yet of the Pittsburgh Filter sound. This module can sound beautiful or brutal or both.

Double Helix Wavetable Processor
Ten years ago we created a chaotic, low-fi, digital 9-bit wavetable oscillator module. After testing the prototypes, the limitations of our small company forced us to shelve the finished module before a full production run was realized. Recently, we made the mistake of gifting one of these ancient prototypes to our good friend who promptly posted a video and story on SonicState that caused our inbox to explode. So, due to popular demand, the Double Helix Wavetable Processor is finally here.

Local Florist 2
More feedback and a larger palette of options pushes the Local Florist 2 deeper into a unique world of experimentation. The Local Florist 2 offers a range of possibilities effects including flanging (kinda), chorus (yes), reverb (true), spring-y feedback sounds (all day), karplus strong (not really, but sorta), vibrato (yes), plucky percussive string sounds (yes), and general robot space sounds (often). Thank you for continuing to support your Local Florist!

Price, Availability, and More Information
The retail price for the Crow 3 and Local Florist 2 are $199 each. The retail price for the Double Helix is $299. Because these modules are considered experiments, production has been limited. The modules are available now through the Pittsburgh Modular web shop. More information regarding the Crow 3, Local Florist 2, and Double Helix Wavetable Processor Eurorack Modules is available at pittsburghmodular.com/safari.

Melbourne Instruments Roto-Control Review: Innovative MIDI Controller with Haptic Feedback

video upload by sonicstate

"We take a look at the Roto-control from ‪@melbourneinstruments‬ a new 8 knob MIDI controller, with unique rotary encoder technology using drone motors.

Introduced at NAMM, the controller's encoders provide a tactile haptic feedback, making them configurable in multiple ways. Traditional end stop knobs, rotary encoders, centre-dent, positive multi-position switches/

Connectivity options include USB-C ports for power management and standard MIDI in, out and through connections. Roto-control supports Ableton Live exclusively for now, but additional DAW support is expected in future updates. Melbourne Instruments hinted at imminent updates to enhance functionalities, including Bitwig support and MIDI merge.

"Literally just fired up the ‪@ELTAmusic‬ Solar42f and started experimenting with the arpeggiator and the too built in VCO’s and some infinity delay. I mean, the dynamic vibes of this so far is just 🤯. I haven’t even used any of the 6 drone voices, sequencer, LFO’s, light controllers, built in preamp, joystick and the rest! Looking forwards to bringing you a full demo of this on ‪@sonicstate‬ in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!"

A Track With: Collide 4 - Joranalogue and Hainbach's Test Equipment Module

In this video, our resident modular artist ‪@matthsmatthsmatths‬ uses Collide 4 as the sole sound source and puts together a piece using just that plus some additional processing. Using both the Filter and the Oscillator plus the 8 separate outputs, there's a lot of tonal variation."

GS Music Bree6 Synthesizer - LSPXPO 2025

video upload by sonicstate

"On a gentler Sunday morning at the show, Nick caught up with Paul who showed us the GS Music Bree6 synthesizer. Those familiar with the E7 will find the Bree6's layout and features familiar, though with some notable differences. This 6-voice polyphonic synthesizer houses one oscillator per voice, complemented by a sub-oscillator. Unlike its predecessor, it offers a more streamlined approach with one LFO instead of three. The Bree6 retains its analog roots but incorporates digital effects such as chorus and delay to enhance its sonic palette.

The Bree6 also features a 4-pole ladder filter with a 24dB/octave slope and two envelopes, offering you a broad range of sound sculpting options. It provides stereo voice panning, which adds depth, possibly enhanced by the delay. With eight banks of presets and a user-friendly interface, it's a straightforward option for those starting with polyphonic synthesis.

Emute uSeq - Live Coding & Modular Mashup - LSPXPO 2025

video upload by sonicstate

"Emute Lab Instruments is a new project, based at the University of Sussex, and coming out of the Experimental Music Technologies Lab research group.

Nick spoke to Dimitris about their first creation, the uSeq module, which bridges live coding and modular synthesis.

Rather than relying on laptops, uSeq uses a Raspberry Pi Pico to handle code expressions, translating them into control voltage (CV) and gate signals. Its design emphasizes accessibility, featuring an open-source platform that's DIY and budget-friendly.

The module has three CV and three gate outputs, coupled with a user-friendly coding language called *ModuLisp*. This setup allows you to manage multiple code patches and switch between them using onboard controls. Aiming to move beyond traditional code interaction, Dimitris is exploring vocal control methods, aligning with live coding's evolving narrative.

Available both as a DIY kit and a ready-made module"

via Emute Lab Instruments

"uSEQ is a eurorack module that brings livecoding into your modular system. Fundamentally, it’s an extremely flexible voltage generator and processor. It has a set of CV and pulse inputs and outputs, but instead of having a fixed set of controls and functions, you can choose how voltages are generated by livecoding them. This means that you can control uSEQ’s behaviour with the vast possibilities of creative coding, using a simplified programming language specialised for music. uSEQ is great for sequencing, waveform generation, and waveform processing. You can use it as a live performance tool, or configure it for specific functions.

To use uSEQ, hook up a computer via the USB port, load up the editor in your browser and start playing."

Emute Lab Instruments - Myriad multi-oscillator - LSPXPO 2025

video upload by sonicstate

"Emute Lab Instruments is a new project, based at the University of Sussex, and coming out of the Experimental Music Technologies Lab research group.

Chris showed Nick their latest creation, Myriad a new multi-oscillator module.

This prototype featured nine oscillators organized into three banks with a hybrid analog-digital synthesis design, aimed at creating dynamic sounds. Chris explained the module's CV-controllable parameters, including pitch, spread, and octave control, designed for rich tonal diversity. An integrated wave-shaping and overdrive circuit added depth and distortion, with LEDs indicating the overdrive status.

It should be available soon through Signal Sounds and Thonk.

Leaf Audio - Really Cool Audio Tools - LSPXPO 2025

video upload by sonicstate

"Nick met Manuel from Leaf Audio at the LSPXPO 2025, showing the *Microphonic Soundbox*, a fascinating device designed to capture intimate sounds using a pair of contact microphones. Built on the concept of body sound transmission, the sound box allows you to isolate detailed audio elements, making it particularly appealing for sound designers in film and gaming.

Leaf Audio also presented their innovative Geophone*, which excels at picking up low-frequency rumbles from 15Hz, ideal for adding cinematic impact to your soundscapes. Newly released *contact microphones boast advanced mounting options, engineered in collaboration with sound designer Robert Dudzic. These microphones provide incredible sensitivity for capturing subtle environmental sounds.

The conversation highlighted the importance of using matched preamps to achieve optimal audio quality. With reasonable pricing and a focus on utility, Leaf Audio's offerings ensure high-quality sound experimentation for creators."

LSPXPO 2025: Erica Synths Echolocator - first look

video upload by sonicstate

"There was an Erica Synths stand at the show, but no one available to demo the newly-released *Echolocator*, so Matt bravely took on the task himself. The Echolocator is similar in layout to the *NightVerb*, but as the name suggests, is a delay-focused unit.

We'll be having a more in-depth look soon, this was very much a quick first impressions taster, but it sounds promising."

"Chase Bliss make interesting pedals - some are creative takes on existing ideas, others are full-on out-there bonkers weird & wonderful - but boring they are not. We have some ourselves, and if Chase Bliss are at a show, we try to check out what they've been working on, so we asked Tyler to demo a couple of their newcomers; Onward and *Clean*."
