For those interested in packaging, fonts, marketing design.

Evol Audio Fucifier

http://evolaudio.com/
"The Evol Fucifier is a distortion synthesizer & sound shaper, designed to give you many colors with which to create and shape your palette of sounds. Everything in the signal chain, from the Mic Pre, the Vintage Germanium Preamp, the Filter, and the inductors in the Equalizer to the output transformer, is designed to be overdriven, saturated, overloaded or distorted in a pleasing way. Mix & match the Vintage Germanium Preamp for a little warmth or overdrive, the Tape Saturation overdrive for a little compression and limiting or a bit of saturation, the Filter/Crossover (which in itself sounds great overdriven or even pushed into self oscillation with a sufficient amount of resonance), the Dual Band Distortion which allows you to mix many different kinds of distortion, and the vintage-style inductor based equalizer to shape the overall tone and color of the sound."

MFOS Multi-Function Module Now Available

Full details here

"Features

* LED Voltage Level Meter Totally cool looking.
* Two 3 input DC voltage mixers with offset adjust and normal and inverted outputs.
* Linear Lag Processor (long and short time select).
* RC Lag Processor (long and short time select).

Introduction
If you find yourself saying man I wish I had two DC voltage mixers, a linear lag processor, an RC lag processor and a LED voltage level meter then this is the module for you. But seriously, this is a very nice assortment of tools for any synth. The voltage meter looks cool and lets you have a graphical idea of where that voltage level you like to use to modulate your filter or vca is so that later repeating it will be easier.

Although simple in nature the voltmeter is useful and has several input ranges (+/-1V, +/-5V and +/-10V). Whereas an analog or even a digital meter takes time to find the level this circuit lights the LED immediately giving you a rough idea of the voltage level you're looking at even when it is changing rapidly. The DC mixers let you mix LFO outputs or change the scale of your keyboard's voltage output to less than 1V per octave to achieve non-tempered scales. The lag processors both give plenty of range to go from almost immediate voltage following to delays lasting many seconds before the output voltage arrives at the level fed into the input.

While not as exciting as a VCO or a VCF this module is a staple and you will find yourself using it all the time."
