"This is more than just 8 cv and 8 gates as there is a great deal of customization and flexibility built in to what it can do.
8 tracks of mono cv, 1 track of 8 triggers and cvs, a couple of four voice, customized output voltages, etc. User installable with two screws and a snap in cable. $125US available from the company site.
Also coming new batch of the sold out Engine sequencer and also a new OS for teh engine, all to be released the same day, so stay tuned.

Unpaid endorsement from a happy owner who paid retail at the site. Lorne"
"Join us this Saturday for the first session of our next Basic Synthesis series - a set of recurring casual presentations usually held every-other Saturday, each an hour in length with ample time for questions. The purposs is to de-mystify the synthesizer piece-by-piece using the modular synth.
This session we'll learn the building blocks of how to make a patch. No matter what level you are, this is the beginning. Voltage controlled oscillators and frequency modulation.
Presented by Joseph Pailo.

PATCH NOTES:
In both parts a glockenspiel sample is played from the MusicThing RadioMusic into Mutable Instruments Clouds. Reset on the RadioMusic is triggered by a channel on the TipTop Circadian Rhythms. On a second RadioMusic a sample of water drops is played for background atmosphere. Clouds is triggered by an ALM Pamela’s Workout channel in Euclidean mode. Clouds’ Size parameter is being modulated by MakeNoise Maths channel 1, Texture on Clouds is being modulated by the QuBit Nano Rand. Evaton Technologies RF Nomad is used as a noise source for some clicky percussion through MakeNoise Optomix triggered by a CR channel.
In part 1 (“Breathe”) Braids in WTX4 mode is sequence by MakeNoise Pressure Points/Brains. The PP/Brains combo is clocked by a channel on the Circadian Rhythms. Presets on the CR are switched manually. The bass drum is the TipTop BD808 that’s triggered from the same channel as the clock for PP/Brains.
In part 2 (“The Little Things”) the bass line is sequenced by the second CV channel of the PP/Brains combo. The bass line is the MakeNoise STO variable shape output played through a Doepfer A-124 Wasp Filter. The lead melody is the Mutable Instruments Rings that is sequenced by the MakeNoise René in Snake Mode, which gets its clock from a CR channel. Some slight modulation for vibrato effects for Rings is provided by the four pressure outs on the second Pressure Points. The cymbal is the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteratis that is triggered by another CR channel.
Some reverb and delay added in the mixer with the EHX Cathedral and EHX Deluxe Memory Boy pedals.
Also, my new album "Feldrausch" is out today, and it sounds *nothing* like the tracks I posted recently on this channel. But if you're in noise and drone, check it out: https://sbarweiler.bandcamp.com/album..."
"The first official audio demo of the new module from WMD, the Aperture.
It was used to filter the signal coming from the Neutron Sound Orgone Accumulator. Sequence from the HexInverter SympleSeq.+ Bastl Knit Rider + WMD MME.
You'll find the petition here. The following is DSI's response from Carson Day of DSI:
"CARSON DAY'S POST:
The description in the campaign is interesting, though somewhat misleading. The vast majority of Tempest owners are happily making music with it. Most importantly, if anybody had contacted us directly at DSI support to ask whether we have quit development on the Tempest, we would have told them no. We do intend to continue, and finish, development of the Tempest.
Separately, the campaign appears to be an inaccurate representation of Tempest users since there’s no way to qualify who is an owner and who is not.
"The XODULAR ecoSYSTEM is a new modular synthesizer system in Pure Data. Where the first XODULAR system was a collection of simpler synthesis building blocks, the ecoSYSTEM is a much more personal instrument. The modules are more specific and complex. I wanted to create an instrument with a unique workflow and sound. For this reason, I do suspect that it might not be as easy to dive straight into as the previous XODULAR system, but the sonic possibilities are much, much wider. I hope you have some fun with it! I would also like to thank Joseph Beg for helping me realizing this project. His beta-testing helped shape this thing immensely."
