Stay up to date with the newest synthesizers, drum machines, and modular gear hitting the market. Featuring original takes, innovative features, and standout designs in the world of hardware music production.
Elektron’s Tonverk represents something fundamentally different: a complete philosophical reimagining of what a performance sampler can be when polyphony, multisampling, and elaborate routing converge in a single instrument.
The Mimetic Digitwolis doesn’t just improve upon the classic Mimetic Digitalis from Noise Engineering; it reimagines what a 10HP sequencer can be when every input becomes configurable, every output becomes flexible, and every parameter becomes a gateway to new creative territories.
The S2 continues the Organelle’s mission of democratizing computer music creation through Pure Data programming, but with the computational headroom to tackle patches that would have strained its predecessor.
The Lost + Found arrives as the second pedal in Chase Bliss’s Small Batch Bliss collection—a made-to-order line that abandons artificial scarcity for genuine accessibility.
The 2HP Module That Brings the Outside World Inside Most Eurorack microphone modules are contact mics designed for capturing vibrations from solid objects. But Intellijel’s MEMS Mic takes a different approach—it uses the same omnidirectional MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) microphone found in smartphones and cameras, delivering flat frequency response from 6Hz to 20kHz in just 2HP … Read more
The Interface Modules That Actually Understand Audio Engineering Most Eurorack interface modules treat level conversion like a simple math problem—scale the voltage and call it done. But NANO Modules’ ST IN & ST OUT approach the challenge with the understanding that proper interfacing involves impedance matching, headroom management, and signal conditioning. These aren’t just voltage … Read more
The Sensei breaks down the separation between electronic music and physical experience, turning studios into living, breathing instruments where shadows shift melodies and temperature changes sculpt rhythms.
