video upload by Musical Miscellany (Poorness Studios)

"For the next Overlooked Module, I take a closer look at the Bell from 2HP. This tiny little module adds a modeling synth to your rack with a mere 2hp footprint. It is capable of some beautiful sounds and even has 6 voice polyphony."

Overlooked Module #12: Pluton Modular Envade

video upload by Poorness Studios

"This is the next video in my Overlooked Modules series. Today, I'm taking a closer look at the Envade from Pulton Modular. This fun module outputs a gate and a envelope with every press of the button. It can be purchased a DIY kit or a completed module.

You can find Pluton's Etsy page here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PlutonModular"

You can find Poorness Studios' overlooked module videos here.



Designed to have more utility than the usual Eurorack button module, Envade has a built in rise-fall slew output in addition to its gate out!

2022 UPDATE:
The panel is now 8HP, as opposed to 9 in the original design (The electronics are unchanged). We're learning more every day, so please stick with us as we improve!
If you bought Envade with the 9HP panel and would like us to send you an 8HP replacement panel, please get in touch through the contact seller option or via the e-mail address on our website.
--------------------------

So far we've found many fun ways to use it in patches:
+ Use the gate to step a sequencer while using the CV as the envelope
+ Control a filter with a slow envelope for beautiful, ambient input
+ Set the rise time to a low value to use it as a sensitive, expressive envelope that changes in intensity based on how long you press

But there are infinite other ways to use it!
It's especially great for use in live jamming, due to its expressive and tweakable nature.

This is the first module we've ever designed, but we're proud to present it to you all! It's spent about 4 months in careful development as I learned (and continue to learn) the best practices of analog design.

We've already begun work on more modules, and are excited to grow with you!

"This is the next video in my Overlooked Modules series and I'm taking a closer look at the DSM03 Feedback module from Dave Smith Modular.

"I recently realized haven't done one of these Overlooked Modules episodes in quite some time and I've got a perfect module to add. Today, I'm taking a closer look at the SARA VCF from Din Sync. This is a dual-filter with some really interesting features. I really like it."

"For the next Overlooked Module, I take a closer look at the 301 Floor Conrol from ADDAC. This nifty little component allows you to use damper and expression pedals with your Eurorack. It has some hidden features that are pretty darn cool.

Overlooked Module #7: Erica Fusion (Tube) Ring Modulator

poorness studios

"It's been a while since I did an episode of Overlooked Modules. This time, I take a closer look at the Erica Fusion Ring Modulator. This tube module is capable of simple ring mod tones or complete sonic insanity. It's definitely a cool module and one that probably doesn't get the credit it deserves."

Overlooked Module #5: WMD Pro Output

Published on Nov 23, 2019 poorness studios

"A lot of folks ignore output modules but I think this one is brilliant. It can take a modular level signal and instantly drop it to commercial line leve (-10db), professional line level (+4db), and headphone level all at once."

Overlooked Module #4: Erica MIDI to CLK

"This is another gem in the Eurorack world. The MIDI to CLK module from Erica allows your Eurorack system to sync with the outside world. It can both send and receive clock signals via MIDI."

Overlooked Module #3: Animodule Line_Amp

Published on Oct 29, 2019 poorness studios

"Here is another module many folks don't even think about. The Line_Amp is only 2hp and it functions as a buffered mult when its not amplifying signals. This simple module can easily boost a line level signal to modular level and so much more.

Overlooked Module: Pittsburgh Crush

Published on Oct 27, 2019 poorness studios

"I'm going to do a series on some of the Eurorack modules I feel are commonly overlooked. This is the first, and I showcase the Pittsburgh Modular Crush. It's a cool module and you can find them dirt cheap on the used market."

Definitely overlooked. The Pittsburgh Modular Crush appears to have only been mentioned once before on the site back in 2015.
