At Superbooth 2021, Endorphin.es has introduced three new modules in a 1U form factor, each of which are based on existing Euro format modules:
Golden Master 1U is a Eurorack stereo, end of chain multiband processor. It utilizes 3 behind the panel connectors: AUX IN and MIX OUT for chaining Golden Master with other Mix Bus compatible modules and a 6 pin balanced output for Intellijel 1/4″ I/O outputs. This makes Golden Master 1U a useful end of chain stereo output module.
Milky Way 1U is a stereo FX module in 22hp. It features 16 different true stereo FX algorithms, with the ability to pan and crossfade the input signals under CV control. By utilizing the MIX OUT connector on the back the module, it integrates with other Mix Bus compatible modules.
Cockpit 1U is a compact 4-channel stereo mixer, with sidechain ducking in 24 hp. It features 4 white labels that can be used for naming your channels with a permanent marker. Channels 2/3/4 now have dual mono inputs, eliminating the need for jumpers on the back, channel 1 has remained stereo. As with other 1U modules, it has three behind the back connectors, namely AUX IN and MIX OUT for chaining and 6 pin balanced output for Intellijel ¼ IO outputs.
The new 1U modules will be available in October 2021, priced at € 200, incl. VAT/$210 MSRP.
At Superbooth 2021, Knobula is introducing the Poly Cinematic, an 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer in Eurorack format.
The module offers up to 7 oscillators per voice, 3 filter types, a built-in reverb, chord memory and more.
Here’s what they say about it:
“Introducing Poly Cinematic. The powerful compact synthesiser that brings big synth polyphony to Eurorack. It’s simple to use with a dedicated knob or switch for each parameter, giving you immediate access to all the controls that really matter in the world of polyphonic pads and stabs.
No presets, no menus, just a good honest tactile experience that puts pure sound synthesis at your fingertips.”
Features:
7 oscillator supersaw per voice
3 oscillator syncable wave shaped square/pulse
3 oscillator detuned tonewheel organ
8 chord memory controlled by cv/gate
Detune control with unison/5th/sub octave sweet spots
3 filter types: lowpass, notch and highpass
Built in high quality 24bit 96khz reverb
Poly Cinematic can be played polyphonically via MIDI, or monophonically over CV/Gate. As a monophonic module, it can play one of 8 chord stacks, selectable using CV control.
At Superbooth 2021, Tiptop Audio and Buchla USA have announced a joint project to bring classic Buchla 200 Series modules back as inexpensive Eurorack modules.
The Buchla 200 Series Electric Music Box was introduced in 1970, and replaced the earlier 100 series. Like the original Moog modular synths, 200 Series systems were rare and expensive, so few people had access to them.
Buchla and Tiptop Audio say that they’ve joined forces to resume the production of these designs, but in Euro format and with module prices expected to start around $160 USD.
Six modules have been announced for the Buchla & Tiptop Audio Eurorack 200 Series:
Dual Oscillator Model 258tDual Oscillator Model 258t – expected Winter 2021, priced at $160-200
Quad Lopass Gate Model 292tQuad Lopass Gate Model 292t – expected Spring-Summer 2022, pricing TBD
Dual Voltage Processor Model 257t – expected Spring 2022, pricing TBD
Source of Uncertainty Model 266tSource of Uncertainty Model 266t – expected Spring 2022, pricing TBD
Quad Function Generator 281t – expected Winter 2021, priced at $170-210
Sequential Voltage Source Model 245t, expected Winter-Spring 2022, price TBD
