Knives of Silence by Jay Wires






Knives of Silence is a new release from supporting member Jay Wires, available from various outlets here.

Details follow:

October 21, 2025

My song 'knives of silence' comes out at midnight tonight, and i can't say im excited about it. it spotlights several harmful textbook narcissist behaviors i experienced in a past relationship - reactive abuse, blame-shifting / victim-playing, the silent treatment / ghosting, and more. i put off releasing it because it's a painful reminder of a bad time, but im over it, and felt it might help others. at the very least, it will immortalize the robot voice of my 1979 roland vp-330 mk1 vocoder plus. the final chorus features 9 layers of this precious vintage synthesizer which was meticulously refurbished by tone tweakers. ive come a long way since singing funkytown through a fan as a child.

ps in case the lyrics cause any confusion, the pushing back / self defensive act I was referring to was verbally defending myself against my abuser. im not a violent guy. one of my mottos is give hugs, not slugs.

Morphor ECHON 6 BBD Resonator Synth Now Open for Pre-Orders



Morphor's ECHON 6 pre-orders are now open at Perfect Circuit

Press release follows:

Morphor marks upcoming availability of ECHON 6 as world’s first polysynth based around analogue BBD resonators by announcing opening of pre-orders

GHENT, BELGIUM: having twice turned heads and opened ears thanks to show-stealing showcases at SUPERBOOTH25, May 8-10, FEZ-Berlin, Germany and Machina Bristronica 2025, September 27-28, Bristol, UK, Morphor marks upcoming availability of its eagerly-awaited ECHON 6 — being billed as the world’s first polyphonic synthesizer based around BBD (Bucket-Brigade Delay) resonators, building upon the Belgium-based collective of artists, engineers, and musicians with a passion for creative sound experience and radical acoustic ideas’ illustrious Eurorack expertise in that area as its inaugural standalone (rack-mountable) desktop design — by announcing the opening of pre-orders as of October 23…

As an ANALOGUE POLYPHONIC MULTI-TIMBRAL BBD SYNTHESIZER — helpfully highlighted by the on point wording worked tastefully into its fitting front panel design’s execution, ECHON 6 brings the principals of modal synthesis into the analogue domain. Far from reimagining a digital concept with modern analogue circuitry, it readily redefines how resonance and excitation can interact. And as the world’s first polyphonic synthesizer based around BBD resonators, no less, each of its six voices features a discrete BBD RESONATOR that tracks the keyboard, producing organic overtones and complex harmonic depth. Duly allowing its users to excite those resonators in creative ways, ECHON 6 can generate anything from plucked and bowed strings over leads and basses to big pads and evolving soundscapes. Combining comprehensive multi-timbral capabilities, a 9 x 32 modulation matrix, a full analogue signal path, and a one-knob-per-function approach, ECHON 6 ultimately unites experimental sound design with classic polyphony. Indeed, its architecture invites exploration at every stage of that analogue signal path.

Check with dealers on the right for availability and price.

"Bastl CITADEL - Fortress of Modular Magic - is a Eurorack reimagination of the popular Kastle 2 semi-modular desktop device. The CITADEL comes with a full 3.5mm patch bay that offers the flexibility needed in the Eurorack format while maintaining the strengths of the Kastle 2 allowing it to stand on its own, and yet let it truly shine when patched with other modules. We’ve also added switches
for hands-on control of the pattern generator. The Citadel provides the basic infrastructure needed to integrate Eurorack systems within the context of electronic music making: headphone output, TRS MIDI input and sync, tempo generator with divider/multiplier, USB MIDI (from the back of the module), stereo mixing, integrated LFO and Pattern generator and effects. All that makes it the perfect module for smaller and beginner systems while the fun and unique creativity of the Kastle 2 firmwares:
the FX WIZARD multi-effect processor and WAVE BARD sample player will earn its place in
larger setups.

πŸ› ️ Get Wave Bard & FX Wizard at the same time πŸ”ƒ
The Citadel comes equipped with a reversible front panel with WAVE BARD on one side
and FX WIZARD on the other side. It also comes with our custom designed tool to make
the panel switching as seamless as possible. You can load and try different Citadel/Kastle 2
present and future firmwares and updates with a USB port (on the back).

The Citadel might break a few rules of standard Eurorack design, but it does so in the name
of instant musicality, fun, and effortless integration of Eurorack with other gear. The PITCH
inputs on the WAVE BARD track 1V/Oct, are factory-calibrated, and there’s even dedicated
calibration software to ensure a perfect match with your source."

FOUR SEAS // A Multi-Voice Mega Wavetable Oscillator Powerhouse from Ferry Island Modular


video upload by DivKid

"Here we have Ferry Island Modular's first release 'Four Seas', which is designed, engineered and manufactured in Finland. It's a real power house of a sound source, suiting to quickly grabbing some waves to patch with or for deep sound design tweaking. Everything is knob/button per function with no menus, making complex behaviours, modulations and sounds simple to access. There's LOTS of examples in this video, see the timing index below for all that's covered ... yet I'm sure there's lots left to uncover with all the options this presents."
