Isla Instruments has introduced the S2400 DSP card, a user-installable hardware upgrade for their S2400 sampler.
The card adds the ability to run multiple FX plugins (VST, LV2, CLAP) inside the box.
The S2400 DSP Card is available to pre-order for $549.
Erica Synths, in collaboration with Moritz Klein, has introduced the latest in its DIY series, the EDU DIY Snare Drum.
The module joins their previously announced Kick, Hi-Hat and Compressor kits to create the core of a modular drum kit.
The mki x es.EDU kits are designed to let people with little-to-no prior experience learn how to design and build analog synthesizer circuits from scratch.

The EDU DIY Snare Drum is available now for €65.
BlaknBlu – UK-based Euro maker – has introduced two new Eurorack modules: Foxtrot, a quad VCF; and Alpha Pro, a quad VCA.
Foxtrot Quad Multimode VCF
Foxtrot is a quad Voltage Controlled Filter. Each of the four filter channels can be switched between three VA models – a Moog style ladder filter, a Sallen-and-Key filter like that used in the Korg MS-20, or a state variable filter as found in Oberheim synths.
Each filter can be continuously varied between band-pass, low-pass and high-pass, using a front panel control or CV. Additionally, it’s possible to link any or all of the filters together – great for ‘resonator’ style multiple band-pass filters, for instance.
Each filter has a two input sub-mixer for the signal inputs and another for the cut-off CV, two outputs (which can be panned using the AUX CV input for stereo effects) and a Boost switch to overdrive the filters.
Alpha Pro Quad VCA/Mixer/Overdrive
Alpha Pro is a quad VCA. Each channel can operate independently, or can be assigned to one of two mix buses, turning Alpha Pro into a configurable mixer.
Similar to Foxtrot, the VCAs have a two input sub-mixer on each signal in, and on the gain CV.
The VCA outputs are stereo, with a dedicated pan control and CV input. Additionally, each VCA has two overdrive modes and an overdrive level control. The first mode is a softer, valve-like overdrive and the second gives a harsher, clipping style distortion.
Each VCA features linear or exponential response, and has a zero crossing circuit to reduce clicking on fast CV transients.
Foxtrot is available now with an RRP of £399.00 inc VAT, and Alpha Pro with an RRP of £399.00 inc VAT.
