Instruō Introduces íre

Overview video upload by Instruō

"After an 8 year development cycle... Introducing the íre!

The Instruō íre is your gateway to bringing the outside world into your Eurorack system. Designed for seamless, plug-and-play integration, íre lets you connect microphones, electric instruments, and line-level sources directly into the modular synthesizer ecosystem with both colour and clarity.

At its core, íre features a high-quality preamp architecture, using a FET design for instrument- and line-level sources, and a transformer input design for microphones. Equipped with essentials such as phantom power, pad, and high-pass filtering, it ensures pristine gain staging and rumble elimination for any source. Additionally, its built-in envelope follower and comparator allow it to transform incoming audio into dynamic control signals, unlocking compelling ways to interact with your Eurorack synthesiser.

• Microphone and instrument preamp
• Phantom power
• Pad
• High pass filter
• Envelope follower
• Comparator"

The Instruō íre is your gateway to bringing the outside world into your Eurorack system. Designed for seamless, plug-and-play integration, íre lets you connect microphones, instruments, and even line-level sources directly into your modular ecosystem with both clarity and colour.

íre is both a high-quality transformer input preamp for microphones, equipped with essentials such as phantom power and -20dB pad, as well as a tube-like FET preamp for the instrument/line channel inputs. Individual gain and level controls and a 80Hz high-pass filter ensure pristine or characterful gain staging for any source. Additionally, with its built-in envelope follower and comparator, íre transforms incoming audio into dynamic control signals, unlocking interesting ways to interact with your modular system.

íre | noun (level) a stage within a process; a position within an unfolding flow of change.

New from 4ms Company, the Leveling EQ Amplifier!

"Announcing the Leveling EQ Amplifier: stereo widening, Neve 1073 style EQ, and LA-2A style optical compression in 14hp. $345 available June 30th from your favorite synth retailer."

The Leveling EQ Amplifier is an end-of-chain audio processor designed to polish individual elements of a patch, stereo bus, or full master bus.

Inspired by the simple interfaces and pleasing sounds of two cornerstones of mixing, the LA-2A optical compressor and the 1073 EQ, the LEQA combines a compressor, an equalizer, and a modern Stereo Width Processor in one 14HP package.

Rather than being fully parametric, pre-defined curves and frequency selections make the art of mixing intuitive. Very little effort is needed for great sounding mixes.

The compressor mimics optical compression, which is a beautifully simple concept that yields incredibly musical results.

The EQ section is built to help accentuate and excite your mix, clear up muddled sounds, and increase the overall headroom.

The Stereo Width Processor adjusts the stereo image, letting you dial back a wide image into a cohesive sound, or push a normal stereo signal into "super stereo" territory. When used with mono sources, it can widen mono sources into stereo using a combination of psychoacoustic techniques.

The Leveling EQ Amplifier excels in live performances, studio work, subtle utility tasks, extreme sonic sculpting, audio "glue" to hold a patch together, and as an effect in its own right.

Global release date: June 30th, 2026.

Punch, Feed, Play - Punchcard Music Box

video upload by Wee Noise Makers

Currently on Kickstarter

"Remember the magic of a hand-cranked music box? That simple, satisfying motion, turning a handle and hearing a melody come alive. Now imagine that crank isn’t just playing music… it’s powering your creativity. We are about to reinvent the classic paper strip music box. Blending tactile, hands-on music-making with a powerful digital engine.

A Physical Way to Compose
At its heart, it’s simple: you punch holes in paper to compose your own melodies, feed the strip into the box, and crank. Note by note. Idea by idea. There’s no undo button; just experimentation, happy accidents, and discovery. You’re carving music into existence. A melody you can hold, tweak, rewind, and reinvent."
