Ohio-based synthesizer builders Midiverse Modular are now shipping passive utility modules and 19in rack mountable frames for the Eurorack ecosystem.
MVM001 – Multiple: MVM001 is a 4HP passive multiple that is suitable for audio
or CV. Jack 1 is normalized to jack 5, allowing for a 1×6 or 2×3 configuration.
MVM002 – Switches: MVM002 is a dual bi-directional manual
switch in a 4HP module. The switches are conveniently located at
the bottom of the module, making hands on control over the
routing of your patch right at your fingertips.
MVM003 – Attenuators: MVM003 is a 6HP passive 3-channel attenuator module.
The inputs are normalized downward, allowing for a single input signal to be
distributed to all 3 attenuator channels.

Erica Synths’ Black Sequencer takes classical modular sequencing to a new level by adding tons of features required for contemporary modular synthesizersNovember 20, 2020 — Erica Synths announces the arrival of its long-anticipated Black Sequencer Eurorack module, which is shipping at the beginning of December. Sequencing power for a new generation of synthesistsThe Black Sequencer features four channels with CV, gate and modulation outputs, and up to 64 step sequences that can be chained into songs, independent track time divisions, multiplications and lengths. It ncludes a built-in quantizer, LFOs, envelope generators, parameter randomization, a MIDI in/out and many other features essential for composing and performing electronic and experimental music. Despite the Black Sequencer’s depth of features, it provides many programmable parameters per step. Further, it is intuitive, easy and straightforward to use, and can serve as a master controller for many modular setups.

BERLIN, GERMANY (August 18th, 2020) – Following a phenomenally successful Kickstarter campaign of the MOD Dwarf, funded in less than 24 hours, MOD Devices now releases the MOD Duo X audio processor to the global retail market. Its key development is the powerful Hexa-core 64 bit ARM CPU processor, a singular advantage in the audio processing landscape. The intuitively patchable standalone device sports solid user-friendly controls, including 8 new assignable potentiometer knobs, 4 freely-assignable push buttons, and 2 instant “snapshot” push buttons. The Duo X also comes with Control Voltage input and output, as well as new software features such as MIDI Slave Sync and Stereo Link. Featuring instant recall capabilities, the one of a kind box is geared towards hands-on use such as studio work, electronic music production & performance, and even DJing.
“The MOD Duo X presents itself as the perfect audio processing hub a musician could want. With its ability to connect to any musical equipment and its boundless internal patching capabilities, the Duo X fills a long-existing gap in the modern musicians’ rig.
The powerful Hexa-core CPU and our ever-growing plugin universe result in a system that enables musicians to obtain practically any desired sound all with a highly durable build and pleasurable design experience.” Says Gianfranco Ceccolini, MOD Chief Executive Officer and Founder.

A new Oscillator from 4ms seems ready to hit the streets with a ship date of May 18th.
The oscillator is the latest in a string of powerful oscillators from the Modular synth company that brought us the spectral wavetable navigator.
here is what their site has to say about it.
“The Ensemble Oscillator is a unified polyphonic voice of sixteen complex oscillators combining additive, FM, phase-distortion and wavefolding synthesis techniques in new unorthodox ways. By quantizing the oscillators to scales or series of harmonics, the Ensemble Oscillator allows you to explore the sonic boundary between musical chords and rich evolving textures. Easily create a wide variety of sounds ranging from aggregates of pure sine waves to pulsar synthesis or pristine harmonic tones and lush wide chords to rich dirty drones and rumbling glitches. Custom scales can quickly be “learned” and saved using a CV keyboard or by manually entering notes with the controls.
Features
16 sine-based oscillators bound to intervals of a selected Scale
30 factory-programmed, user-writeable scales organized in three groups:
12TET: all notes quantized to equal temperament, repeating over octaves
Octave: unquantized notes, repeating over octaves
Free: unquantized notes, repeating over the interval between the lowest and highest note
A simple method to program (“Learn”) your own scales manually or with a CV/Gate keyboard
Three Twist phase distortion effects
Three Warp wave distortion effects
Three algorithms of Cross FM for modulating the oscillators with each other
Mono or stereo output with selectable panning algorithm
Freeze button and jack to freeze the frequency of some of the oscillators, with selectable algorithm
Two 1V/oct inputs: Pitch (non-quantized), and Root (quantized)
High-accuracy, temperature-stable, eight octave range (-2V to +6V), can be calibrated to any keyboard
Six bi-polar CV inputs (-5V to +5V)
Two gate inputs for automated Learning and Freezing
ensemble oscillator designed by Matthias Puech
The Ensemble Oscillator is designed by Matthias Puech and 4ms Company”

Rossum Electro-Music has announced the release of Software Version 2.0 for their Assimil8or Phase Modulation Sampler Eurorack module. Designed to provide a powerful, flexible sampling engine for modular synthesis, the Assimil8or Multi-Timbral Phase Modulation Sampler module is the latest incarnation of Dave Rossum’s decades-long pioneering of affordable professional sampling technology. Assimil8or 2.0 software brings a host powerful new features and major workflow enhancements. Taken together, they result in Assimil8or’s evolution into an even more powerful and easy-to-use sampling module. Assimil8or 2.0 software is a free download for current Assimil8or owners. It can be downloaded at http://www.rossum-electro.com/products/assimil8or.
Key new Assimil8or 2.0 features includeNew Sound-on-Sound sampling modes: (100% feedback for limitless layering and -3dB feedback for gradual decaying). Explode Sample (at both the channel and zone level) to divide a sample into 2 to 8 equal regions and automatically assign them to sequential channels or zones. Chop Sample: Similar to Explode sample, but uses transients to determine the chop points. CV Control of Mix Levels: The ability to voltage control a channel’s level in the mix output without affecting its individual output. There are two control modes: Normal for regular modulation, and Fader for mix control. New Zone Selection types: – Advance – Each new trigger causes the next zone in numerical order to be selected. – Random – Each new trigger causes a random zone in numerical order to be selected. NewZone Voltage Balancing Options: 5V, 10V, Chromatic Keyboard, and Major Scale Zone Lock to temporarily lock a single zone for auditioning and editing Manual and Auto-Audition of card WAV files to streamline import operations. Gate Delay to compensate for sequencer gate/trigger/CV timing anomalies. Stereo Awareness: Graphic interface and editor improvements to make working with stereo channel pairs virtually automatic. Preset Selection via CV: The ability to use assignable CV inputs to step forward and backward through a folder’s preset list. Zone handling and editing improvements, especially with stereo samples Variable horizontal zoom on the Sample Start/End Page and Loop Start/Length/End Page. Sync Editing of sample and loop points (i.e, simultaneously set identical Loop Start and Sample Start or Loop End/Length and Sample End points). Selection of Sampling Destination Channel by pressing and holding the Sampling Setup button and then one of the eight channel buttons. New Sampling Setup Zone Destination parameter ”Empty Zone” assigns the new sample to the next empty zone on the destination channel. Load Folder Warning: The option to trigger a warning popup when loading a new folder to help avoid accidental overwriting of unsaved preset edits. The ability to cancel a folder load in progress. A Sampling Pre-roll of 10 msec (to avoid the possibility of cutting off the very beginning of a sample) Data Compatibility: Assimil8or V2.0 data is fully forward and backward compatible with Assimil8or V1.XX. (With the exception that the new zone selection types, if used, will load into V1.XX as type “Continuous’). More Assimil8or information can be found at the Rossum Electro-Music web site: http://www.rossum-electro.com/products/assimil8or
