Check out the accompanying article on our blog, Signal."

"2024 is soon drawing to a close—so, we're taking a look back at the year, and taking account of all of the weird and wonderful instruments that gave us some inspiration this year. Synthesizers, drum machines, and Eurorack modules to samplers and effects, this year had no shortage of inspiring instruments.

So, we reached out to some of our friends and content creators to fill us in on their year, asking one simple question: what was the coolest piece of gear YOU got this year? For some, that meant brand-new releases, but for others, it meant sitting down and digging into classic instruments.

In this video, we hear from:
0:05 Emily Hopkins on the Expressive E Osmose + Vongon Replay
3:36 The Midlife Synthesist on the Arturia Polybrute 12
5:36 Son Wu on the Elektron Octatrack
10:38 Monotrail on the ADDAC507 Random Bézier Waves
13:32 Surco on the Shakmat Battering Ram + OXI Meta

1. Bristronica 24: MyVolts The Silent Alchemist Nears Shipping

We caught up with Caroline who gave us the latest update to the *Silent Alchemist*, a versatile power hub designed for musicians. Featuring five isolated USB-C outputs and a high-wattage sixth output capable of delivering 100 watts, the device can power a Mac with the remaining outputs providing 20 watts each. Its independent circuits ensure noise-free operation, catering to a variety of devices including the Dreadbox module and Sysmo slope generator.

The Silent Alchemist uses innovative step-up power tips to convert USB-C input to the correct voltage for various devices. There's also new feature: an uninterruptible power supply allowing seamless transition between wall and power bank sources. Also introduced were updated cables, such as silver candy cords and floating ring TRS to TS cables, expanding connection flexibility. The Silent Alchemist is expected to be available in December with a competitive pricing strategy.

2. Bristronica 24: Circuit Happy ML2M Clock Sync module updates

At Bristronica 2024, we caught up with the creator of the *ML2M*, who introduced us to the latest version. The ML2M is a compact Eurorack module with Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing seamless synchronization with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and iOS music apps using Ableton Link without the need for cables. It either connects to an existing network or creates its own, ensuring robust sync even in environments with unreliable Wi-Fi. The module, which retains its 2HP size, now features MIDI integration through TRS jacks. Users can access a web interface to configure each output for different clock divisions and reset triggers, making setup straightforward and flexible.

Alongside the ML2M, there's also the Missing Link Junior. This desktop version offers the same functionality but in a box format, complete with MIDI and CV clock outputs. Both products are now accessible, with a starting price of $250.

3. Bristronica 24: Archaea Exchange Patching Module

At Machina Bristronica 2024, we caught up with Arran from ‪@archaea_modular_synthesis‬ who presented the *Exchange Module*. This programmable patcher, a year in the making, evolved from its early prototype stage to a fully functional module. Arran explained how the Exchange can route synth voices via a beam controller and three exchange modules installed within the skiff, allowing for versatile patching. Operating like a matrix patchbay, it enables users to select inputs and outputs with the push of a button, create presets, and chain multiple modules for synchronized patching.

Communication between the modules occurs over the Eurorack power bus as well as over MIDI via the USB-C connection. The Exchange maintains analog integrity, ensuring there’s no conversion latency. The forthcoming release expected in late November 2024, includes a USB-driven editor for enhanced control capabilities.

Anyma Phi and Anyma Phi V physical modeling synth with Chase Bliss Mood mk2 and OXI One

video upload by Mike Laaksonen

"Anyma Phi from Aodyo Instruments is quite wonderful little monophonic physical modeling synth, that can do much more than just physical modeling. You can use 3 oscillators that you can choose from a long list, ranging from different wave forms, resonators, 2-op FM, wavetables etc.

You can use audio input as an oscillator, either external input or in-built contact microphone. So, Anyma Phi is not just a synth, but audio effect unit, too. However you use it , there are lots of configuration parameters and options.

Those 3 oscillators are routed to main and aux bus, where you can apply 5 effects, pan them in stereo field, add reverb, which is then put out as stereo audio.

Recently, Aodyo has launched as software version of Anyma Phi, called Anyma V. It is identical to hardware unit, except that Anyma V is polyphonic. Anyma V is a by-product of Aodyo's biggest development project, namely Anyma Omega, which is larger sibling of Anyma Phi. As a backer I have been eagerly waiting its launch, which may happen at end of year."

Eurorack Performance FX for Transitions & Beyond // META by OXI Instruments

video upload by DivKid

"META is the new 6HP Eurorack module from OXI Instruments. It’s a ‘transitions’ based FX module meant for live performance. But you’d be equally happy with it set up as small studio FX system too, with all it offers in the size. It’s stereo in and out with 6 FX scenes all of which offer macro multi FX control that stack and manipulate FX with the idea of transitions. Engage, blend, mix, modulate and animate the size and shape of FX under simple controls that respond well to CV as well as working playfully for manually knob wiggles. You’ll find reverbs, delays, noise risers, Shepard tones, snare rolls, filtering, beat repeat style looping, reverse FX, trance gates and more."
