AI Synthesis has introduced the AI024 X Filter, a new filter that they say is based on the ‘creamy four-pole low pass filtering of classic 80s synths’, in both pre-built and kit formats.
The module is available pre-built or as a DIY project.
The resonant filter can self oscillate and track 1/V per octave. They note that, with two AI024s and a stackable cable, you can create an “elegant stereo filter”.
The ad#AI024 X Filter uses the same topology found in classic synths like the Crumar Spirit, the Digisound-80 Modular System, Elka Synthex, Fairlight CMI II/IIx, LinnDrum, Oberheim, PPG Wave, Sequential Circuits synths and many more.
The AI024 X Filter is available as a DIY project, starting at $15, and pre-assembled for $140.

In this video, Mylar Melodies demonstrates unique Sinusoda Eurorack Modular case system.
This is a modular case system that can expand horizontally and vertically, so you can add on as needed, vs using a one-size-fits-all approach. Its modularity means that it is also possible to make unusually-shaped cases, such as T-shaped or L-shaped systems. You can even mount modules on the sides.
Minimal Audio is a developer known for its unique and creative effects plugins (Rift distortion) and also the Current soft synth and content platform, released late last year.
Minimal Audio’s latest plugin release is Swarm Reverb, a “fun and flexible” reverb plugin capable of producing everything from “expansive ambience” to “pumping spaces and lush creative effects”.
Swarm Reverb is a dual-stage reverb with separate algorithms and controls for both early and late reflections, meaning it can confidently handle the whole spectrum of reverbs from realistic spaces to stratospheric ambient decays.
Both the early and late reflections tabs are equipped with controls for attack, decay, reverb size and damping, in addition to width and diffusion. You’re able to blend between both types of reverb with a balance control.
Swarm is equipped with input filters (high and low-pass) and a diffusion filter for sculpting the frequencies of your reverb tail, alongside controls for tempo-synced predelay and a handy wet/dry mix slider at the bottom of the window to dial in the desired amount of reverb to your signal.
There is also a built-in ducker for that’ll carve out space in the reverb tail using the dry signal, along with a modulation section that adjusts time values across both reverb algorithms, with controls for depth and modulation rate. Swarm also has a soft clipper at the output stage for introducing limiting and saturation to the final product.
Swarm Reverb is available now for Windows and Mac in VST/AU/AAX formats and is priced at $49. Find out more on Minimal Audio website.
