Hügelton Instruments Introduces K102E Digital Compound Oscillator

video upload by Hügelton Instruments

"The K102E is a digital compound oscillator rooted in our original “Island Synthesis” philosophy. 2 independent digital cores are blended via Phase-Modulation, Cross-Fade, or Additive Mix to create dense, animated harmonics—all in a compact Eurorack module.

The K102E is a digital compound oscillator module developed based on the unique "Island Synthesis" philosophy.

Features

3 independent oscillators for rich sound generation

Stable oscillation and diverse wavetable synthesis achieved through DSP processing by microcomputer

Two main oscillators (A/B) function similar to typical complex oscillators

Selection from 3 synthesis methods (phase modulation, multiplication, crossfade)

Hard sync and detune functions

8 types of waveforms following 80's wavetable synthesizers

Reading position controlled by harmonic specification index

Third oscillator (C) functions as an auxiliary oscillator

Selection of any frequency from low to high

Can be used as an LFO or cross-modulator

External control interfaces include standard CV inputs with octave/volt control, CV control for harmonics (wavetable read position), and CV input for alpha parameter of waveform synthesis

NEW 2025 Panoptigon Discs - PUMP ORGAN & FAST BOSSA NOVA

video upload by optigandotcom

"Now available from the Quilter Labs web store! https://www.quilterlabs.com/collectio...

PUMP ORGAN is the antique Estey Harmonium sound previously heard on the vintage Optigan "Gay 90s Waltz" disc, as well as our Orchestron "Harmonium" disc. We renamed the sound for this Panoptigon disc in order to avoid confusion with the Orchestron disc. Also, PUMP ORGAN utilizes the full 5-octave range of the sound as heard on the original master tape.

PUMP ORGAN can only be played on Panoptigon, and is not compatible with Optigan or Orchestron.

SSF Metalloid Goes Melodic: Turning Chaos into Harmony

video upload by Metamyther

"In this video, I push the Steady State Fate Metalloid Eurorack module far beyond its typical percussive use, transforming it into a beautiful, double timbre melodic voice. Perfect for fans of melodic modular music, this patch showcases how the Metalloid can deliver clean tonal sequences just as well as atonal drum hits. If you're looking for unconventional synth voices, this demo will inspire you to rethink how you use percussion modules in melodic contexts."
