New releases this week: Studio Equipment

Notes: Simple but effective approach to signal routing here from Jolin Rosa. The Morpher is a four-in/four-out crossfader, scanner and switcher, allowing you to shape, route and manipulate any signal with ease.

Supplier's Notes:
ROSA is a multi-mode crossfader, scanner, and switcher that allows seamless morphing between up to four inputs and outputs. With its three operating modes (Scan, Wave, and Pass), you can easily shape and route signals to fit any patch.

A quick overview:

Scan Mode: Morph between up to four inputs with adjustable curves using the KNEE control.
Wave Mode: Independently control the four VCAs for complex dynamic changes.
Pass Mode: Route a single input (or mix multiple inputs) to up to four outputs, perfect for quadraphonic setups or parallel processing.
Infinite Analogue Potentiometer: For smooth, continuous transitions.
Global SHUT Control: CV-controlled mute for immediate silence.

Notes: NANO modules are excited to introduce you to OCTA, the upcoming 4-channel Analog Drum module, inspired by the iconic TR-808 and redesigned with a modern twist.

OCTA delivers punchy and dynamic analogue drums, with individual outputs, mute switches, CV control over Drive, and a built-in Tilt EQ and Compressor for creative shaping. Nano stayed faithful to the original circuits, but added key controls to give each voice more range and modular versatility.

Notes: The Ultimate Output Expander For Hermod+

Introducing xp32, the perfect expander for unlocking 32 assignable CV or Gate outputs, amplifying the creative power of your Hermod+ sequencer.

Transform your Hermod+ into a 16-track CV/Gate powerhouse, an expansive MIDI/USB-to-CV interface, a preset manager, or customize your outputs to suit even the most intricate modular setups.

The xp32 opens a new world of possibilities for both live performances and studio setups, giving you the flexibility to realize your most complex musical ideas.

Seamless Integration.

Setting up the xp32 is as easy as connecting the included expander ribbon cable to the back of your Hermod+.

The xp32 integrates seamlessly: Hermod+ will automatically recognize it, and your 32 additional outputs are ready to use instantly.

With the xp32, Hermod+'s 8 CV/Gate tracks remain untouched. Instead, the xp32's 8 additional voices are internally mapped to Hermod+'s MIDI tracks, offering maximum expandability without altering your existing workflow.

Unmatched Precision & Flexibility.

Each of the 32 output jack is powered by a dedicated 16-bit industrial grade DAC, ensuring the best accuracy for all your control voltage signals, from pitch to fine modulations.

Easily configure each output as a Gate (for notes, triggers, or clocks) or as a CV (for pitch, velocity, aftertouch, modulation...).

High-precision.

Low noise.

At the heart of the xp32 are highly-precise digital-to-analogue conversion circuits, developed with meticulous attention to detail. Squarp have incorporated high-end components to guarantee reliable, low-noise, high-performance outputs that you can depend on for both small and large modular systems.

The 32 signal LEDs are driven by a fully analogue current-control circuit, guaranteeing zero digital noise.

Notes: The 2OSC R2 is a dual 1V/octave oscillator module. Another successor of a classic AE module, the 2OSC/d. The 2OSC is a dual oscillator module, digitally based, with a great feature set:

Oscillator 1:

- Sawtooth
- Multi-Sawtooth, detuned
- Pulse Wave
- Triangle waveform with wavefolder
- Sinewave
- Suboscillator output
- Mix output (primary wave plus suboscillator)


Oscillator 2 , Noise:

This oscillator is focused on square waves; additionally to a pulse width controlled and CV-controllable square wave, it offers also a "synced square wave" (sounds really nasty!) and synced to oscillator 1. A separate suboscillator out is here available too. Additionally, a separate noise output is included, whose sound depends of the frequency setting of oscilaltor 2. The octave range switches are the same like in 2OSC/d. On top of the usual 1V/octave pitch control, the module can be controlled also via IMDI, the internal, patchable MIDI! Oscillators 1 and 2 are separate via different MIDI channels.

Notes: The FADRMIX JACKOUT is an extension for the FADRMIX6 with two 1/4" (6.5mm) jack sockets for master left/right output and 4 stereo minijack sockets for the FX send and returns.

The module is connected via a small internal connection cable to the right of the FADRMIX6.

Notes: The FADRMIX6 module is a performance mixer for your AE system; if offers the following features:

6 mono input channels with two sockets per channel; these two inputs are mixed at equal level, so FADRMIX6 is in fact a 12-chnnel mixer (somehow)!

Click-free mute buttons per channels

Per channel: fader for level, knobs for pan and two FX-send channels

2 FX send-return sections (send mono, return stereo) to connect FX modules

FX sends can be individually configured as pre-fader / post-fader (switches on the back of the module)

FX returns can be switched mono/stereo

Master level faders; stereo minijack socket master out

Stereo headphone output as stereo minijack socket with separate level control.

An internal connector allows the extension of input channels and output / FX sends as jack sockets by the FADRMIX JACKOUT module

Module size: 6 units

Notes: FMOS R2 is a FM oscillator, and the successor of the discontinued FMOS module with a lot of new features!

FMOS R2 is basically a 2-operator FM synthesis sound generator, with the classic parameters MULTIPLIER for the modulating operator and MOD DEPTH for controlling the amount of FMing of the carrier operator.

Beyond this basic functionality, FMOS R2 offers following extra features:

- Additionally to the basic sinewave operator waveform, FMOS R2 has five additional waveform combinations for the carrier/modulator waveform, resulting in a more rich overtone spectrum

- The FEEDBACK control adds feedback the carrier/modulator chain, adding more variety to the sound spectrum

- The modulator can optionally be set to fixed frequency, especially useful for synthesizing metallic, inharmonic sounds

- A sub-oscillator output provides a square wave one octave lower

- The MIX output provides a mix between the FM sound and the sub-oscillator.

- Pitch is either controlled by a 1V/octave CV or IMDI, the "modular MIDI" introduced by tangible waves

- Modulation depth can be modulated by CV

- All parameters can also be controlled via IMDI, with a number of MIDI controllers.

All this with a nice portion of 8-bit charm!

Notes: The MASTER module is the base of an AE modular system if MIDI control has to be possible; it contains

- The voltage regulation (5V) for the power supply of the modules

- A MIDI input (minijack; Breakout cable to DIN-5 socket is available separately); the MIDI channel can be selected between 1, 14, 15,16 or OMNI

- In/out-sockets (3.5mm minijack) for audio out and/or interfacing with a Eurorack system

- All bus signals (CV, GATE, CTRL, MIDI clock/start/stop) as patch sockets

- IMDI output

Notes: The SEQ8 R2 s an 8-step sequencer for controlling oscillator pitch and triggering envelopes.

Compared to "classic" analogue sequencers it works a bit different: Instead of setting the CV for each step independently (which means in fact "tuning" each step which can be a bit tedious), the SEQ8 has 4 knobs for presetting different CV's (= notes); each of the 8 step knobs selects one of these CVs, plus 0V (=base note) plus Pause (no trigger output). So some CVs have to be fine-tuned once; with the step knobs you can focus entirely on the sequence itself and you can even modify it on the fly, still remaining in tune.

The IMDI input allows timing and start/stop control via IMDI, e.g. from teh IMDI HEART module or from the MASTER R6 and newer. The module can be configured to different time signatures, scaling the notes (minor, major, pentatonic, chromatic) and adding an octave offset. The IMDI out provides the notes as IMDI, parallel to the CV/GATE output.

Additionally to the selected CV presets, the "raw" value of the step knobs is also accessible at an extra output.

Notes: This module is best if you want a classic, analogue oscillator and prefer fully analogue sound generation. It offers:

- two CV inputs 1V/octave

- Modulation input with Level-knob, switchable to frequency or pulsewidth

- PWM input

- Coarse / Fine knob for frequency

- Pulsewidth knob for square wave

- Square / Triangle / Sawtooth output

The VCO R2 supersedes the VCO module which was part of the AE modular Kickstarter campaign in 2017; with the overall development of AE modular, the old one doesn't really meet the current quality level of AE any more. So Tangible Waves are happy to offer this completely redesigned module, that offers a really good volt/octave tracking over 5-6 octaves (using both CV inputs) and an amazing temperature stability.

Notes: Patterns is a 4 channe modular sequencer designed for deep flexibility and hands on performance.

Each channel supports up to 64 steps, with essential creative tools like randomisation, probability, gate length control, swing, clock divisions, and more, giving you everything you need to build evolving, dynamic rhythms.

Its 4×4 grid layout makes programming intuitive and performance friendly, letting you quickly visualize your sequences and punch in steps with ease.

But the real power of Patterns lies in its dedicated Pattern button, your instant gateway to 16 different pattern slots. Switch between them on the fly, program your custom pattern chains, or use CV to jump between patterns and create unexpected breaks, fills, and experimental grooves.

Whether you're building complex arrangements or just jamming, Patterns gives you the immediacy and depth to stay in the flow.
