NOISE generator - pink, white and channel balancing.
FILTER 1 and FILTER 2 - CV controls.
LINK switches to control two filters and CV at the same time with one slice knob. SOFT/HARD cutoff control Technical specifications:
Input audio signal level: Max 1.5 V Modulation CV input: - 5 to +5 V or 0 to + 10V
Power supply: universal mains adapter 100-220V / 12V 1A out Filter weight: 0,7kg
Packed weight: 1 kg
Dimensions: 175x135x50mm
WARNING! Before using the device, turn it on for 5-7 minutes and let it stand. The control transistor should warm up. So that in SOFT mode there is no feedback when the FREQ knobs are in zero position. If you overdo it. The UD1208 chips used in the filter are very sensitive and are never the same. Therefore you will not mathematically get two identical filters. Which is an advantage when using the unit in stereo.
"The TSC-12 module, based on Solar-42 Ambient Machine keyboard is a performance oriented touch controller featuring 12 capacitively sensitive plates, equipped with highly accurate Volt/octave outputs, ready to connect to your modular setup also."

New maker. This is the first post to feature Koana Modular.
"While at Superbooth 2025 in Berlin, I had the pleasure of diving into the world of Kaona, a boutique modular synth company hailing from the south of France near Aix-en-Provence. Kaona is renowned for crafting ingenious Eurorack modules that blend algorithmic sequencing with creative sound design tools.
Here are some standout modules I explored:
Skippy: A 4-channel polyrhythmic trigger sequencer offering matrix and non-matrix patterns, perfect for generating complex rhythmic structures.
Skippy Live: An expander for Skippy, adding real-time performance controls like reset, play/stop, and live mode toggling, enhancing your live sequencing capabilities.
Zazou: An algorithmic pattern generator that produces MIDI and CV sequences based on various algorithms, including fractals and mathematical patterns, allowing for intricate melodic explorations.
Sisyphus: A stereo granular filter module that uniquely combines granular synthesis with custom filtering modes, enabling the creation of textures ranging from smooth to glitchy.
Mûmack: An analog VCO featuring three unique mixable shapers, allowing for the generation of sounds from classic to complex and organic.
Kaona's modules are a testament to innovative design, offering musicians and sound designers tools that inspire creativity and exploration. Their commitment to pushing the boundaries of modular synthesis is evident in each of their thoughtfully crafted modules.

"Oblivion Glow is a collection of 50 patches for the analog synthesizer Soma Lyra-8, dedicated to dark, deep, and atmospheric sound. 🎆 Lyra-8 is one of the most unique synthesizers of our time, both in terms of functionality and sonic character. It offers a radically different approach to sound design and performance. Its true power lies in its dynamics and expressiveness—the instrument, its parameters, and controllers are highly sensitive to settings and playing technique, making its sound incredibly alive and constantly evolving. 💎 This quality has made Lyra-8 a beloved and almost essential tool for genres like ambient, techno, cinematic, IDM, industrial, and beyond—anywhere a blend of liveliness and innovation is required.
🎛 Exploring this instrument was a truly inspiring experience, and in this soundset, I share the results of that journey. My goal was to extract the broadest possible palette of timbres: warm and cold, soft and harsh, harmonic and distorted, modern and vintage, clean and noisy, smooth and rhythmic. 🕹 I also explored different performance techniques, aiming to strike a balance between the experimental and the musical.
📦 This pack includes drones, pads, textures, leads, FXs, strings, rhythmic patterns, and soundscapes. 🎙 Some patches are designed to take the lead in a track or jam session, while others serve perfectly as supporting layers. While each sound is ready to use as-is, I highly recommend interacting with the controls during performance—modulating parameters in real-time reveals new sonic depths and greatly enhances expressiveness.
📔 The soundset is presented as a PDF document. Each page contains detailed notes explaining how the patch works, which parameters are key for real-time manipulation, and how to evolve the timbre while playing. Following these suggestions will not only expand your sound palette but also deepen your understanding of the instrument.
📀 Each patch comes with an audio example to guide you in understanding how it is intended to sound.
💾 The collection also includes 24/41000 WAV samples. These can be used directly in your projects, or freely resampled, edited, and processed—offering a versatile library of material for further experimentation."
