Envy Machine | Quad Function Generator | By RYK Modular


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Quad function generator? Isn't it a four channel ADSR or LFO or S&H or CV recorder? Indeed it is. But it also provides 'ghost hand recording' on all channels and it's great for cross patching. Sure it's designed for the awesome ALGO and Vector Wave and they make brilliant combos. It's missing the 'end-of-whatever' trigger/gates to make it a true complex function generator but it can surely help to make weird sounds too.

A typical modular case is about 70% or more utilities, so the 12 HP Envy Machine could save you a lot of space and modules. However, it's a utility module so the real magic still needs to come from your VCO."

BAF 2025: Black Corporation Expander MK2


video upload by sonicstate

"At NAMM 2025, we caught up with Roman from Black Corporation who walked us through their latest innovations. First up was the Monolith*, a signal generator not created by *Black Corporation*, but developed by *Black Corporation team members. Roman explained that the Monolith allows you to generate presets, LFOs, arpeggiators, and MIDI CC. This versatile device outputs via USB host, TRS MIDI, or USB-C to computer, providing an easy way to enhance your hardware synths with additional oscillators, LFOs, and envelopes.

Then we got a look at the *Expander MK2*, which represents Roman's dream multi-effect processor. Featuring classic delay models including the Lexicon PCM42 and a BBD delay, the Expander MK2 incorporates two types of reverbs - including one developed in collaboration with Maris - as well as a spring reverb with digital pre-delay and a Tilt EQ. With a rich array of modulation options, including a ring modulator and OTA-based phasers, the Expander MK2 is a comprehensive solution for integrating multiple effects. It boasts extensive connectivity options and total recall via MIDI CC. The Expander MK2 is set to ship at the end of spring 2025 at a starting price of $5,000, with pre-orders available for this reduced price before an anticipated increase."

"We caught up with Ricky Tinez at the Elektron booth, who introduced us to the *Digitone 2*. This updated iteration has seen a significant boost in capabilities compared to its predecessor with an expansion from four to 16 tracks and voices, and the inclusion of multiple machine types. Notable additions include FM Drum, Wavetone, and Swarmer machines, advancing its sonic versatility. The Wavetone offers wavetables with smooth interpolation between its two oscillators.

Ricky demonstrated the intuitive page navigation that streamlines access to different settings and highlighted features like the morphing filter and separate noise generator with its envelope and filter. The FM Drum, a new addition, supports creative synthesis beyond conventional drum sounds, showing potential for melodic applications.

Users can also access deeper modulation, with three LFOs providing enhanced control."

video upload by sonicstate

"At BAF 2025 we met up with Evan at New Systems Instruments who introduced us to Discrete Map, their new sequencer concept. Discrete Map takes external signals which can be modified by the relative position of the sliders on the front panel to set amounts and timings of triggers, step lengths and more.

The sequencer also runs at audio rate or in one shot mode making its application very versatile. Discrete* Map* is due for release in March 2025."

video upload by sonicstate

"At NAMM 2025, we caught up with Tom from Tobinsky, who presented the *Harmonic Timing Generator*. This innovative piece of gear creates harmonics of its basic signal, which can be utilized in either low frequency or audio modes. Tom demonstrated how the generator can control up to four tracks of a sequencer, showcasing its ability to maintain harmonic timing.

The generator features a master out section, along with selectable tracks, enabling complex modulation including ratcheting effects. The setup also incorporates a control panel with switches, allowing you to seamlessly connect and synchronize with other devices.

Furthermore, Tom highlighted its open architecture, which offers a scanner mixing function. This feature can transform waveforms into sine waves for mellow tones or pan signals for mixing. You can control it via CV inputs, offering a wide range of creative possibilities. The prototypes are in production, with an estimated price around $400.

The Harmonic Timing Generator is a versatile Eurorack module that blends advanced clock generation with harmonic waveform manipulation. Designed to seamlessly integrate with the Tobinski Sequencer and Interpolating Scanner, this module is an exceptional tool for rhythmic and tonal creativity in your modular system.

As a reference clock generator, the Harmonic Timing Generator produces a base frequency with analogue multipliers (x1 to x8) to generate complex timing signals. Three selectors provide manual or voltage-controlled frequency switching, offering flexibility for intricate sequencing patterns. An LFO mode enables slower clocking rates, ideal for driving sequencers or generating modulation sources.

When used with the Interpolating Scanner, the sawtooth outputs of the Harmonic Timing Generator are transformed into sine waves. This allows the module to function as a harmonic oscillator at audio rates or as a versatile modulation source in LFO mode. Its dual functionality ensures that it can adapt to a wide range of patching needs, from rhythm generation to rich harmonic exploration.

The Harmonic Timing Generator is a versatile and creative tool, offering rhythmic and harmonic possibilities that complement any modular synthesizer setup. Its integration with other Tobinski modules ensures a cohesive and expansive sonic palette.
