Magerit has introduced the KOLORA, a new Eurorack module that they describe as ‘a complete synth palette’ in 42HP.

The Magerit KOLORA features two oscillators (one analog and one digital), two VCAs, two LFOs, a 4-pole state-variable filter (VCF), three noise generators, an envelope generator, a sequencer, a mixer, and several additional utilities, including an active multiple and an OR/AND logic mixer.

Features:

• A complete palette – two oscillators (one analog and one digital), two VCAs, two LFOs, a state-variable filter, three noise generators, an envelope, a sequencer, a mixer, and additional utilities such as an active multiple and a logical AND/OR mixer (known as a Boolean mixer).
• Analog and digital oscillators – One oscillator is based around the legendary 3340 chip, a temperature-stabilized oscillator core offering linear and exponential FM, pulse width modulation, hard sync, and four waveforms—sine, triangle, saw, and pulse. The other oscillator is a wavetable synth with up to 16 different waveforms. You can upload your own, too.
• Noise options – a noise generator featuring three different flavors: classic white and pink noises, and a clocked LFSR noise, similar to the sounds found in old video game consoles.
• Amplify and Modulate – Two VCAs, two LFOs, and one ADSR envelope generator are included in this module, allowing modulation with sine, triangle, or square waves. The amplifier can be modulated or even used without any CV input.
• Patterns – KOLORA also features an 8-stage step sequener.
• Filter – KOLORA has a 4-pole state-variable filter with three simultaneous responses: Low Pass, Band Pass, and High Pass. Furthermore, it is self-oscillating, so you can play melodies by inputting a V/OCT signal into its CUTOFF input.
• Mix and Utility – the module also features an active mixer and additional utilities, such as a buffered active multiple and Boolean OR/AND logic operators.

The Magerit KOLORA is available now for $515.

Native Instruments has introduced Maschine 3, a major update to its beatmaking and music production application.

Maschine 3 introduces stem separation, workflow enhancements, community requested features and a new Maschine Central library of sounds, rhythms, and presets.

While Maschine 3 is designed to work with Maschine hardware, they’ve also updated it so that it can be used to build tracks, from start to finish, without any additional hardware.

Here’s whats new in Maschine 3:

• Stem Separation: Split any audio file into drums, bass, vocals, and other instruments.
• Maschine Central: Machine Central includes over 100 kits, 144 Kontakt instruments, and synth presets from Monark, Massive, Prism, and more.
• MIDI Editing tools: A suite of MIDI editing tools to split, join, erase and mute MIDI notes, keyboard shortcuts, audible MIDI note previews, and more.
• Custom tempo upgrades: Set custom tempos per-scene.
• Kontrol S-Series MK3 integration: Basic integration includes transport controls, integrated control over Play Assist, on-keyboard display of Maschine modules, and support for thousands of NKS partner instruments.
• Additional software: Get Ozone 11 Elements, an easy-to-use set of mastering tools free with the Maschine 3 bundle, alongside Massive, Monark, and Reaktor Prism.
• Bounce in place: Render sounds, patterns, and ideas as audio, saving CPU power and opening up new creative possibilities.
• More file formats: Maschine can now import MP3, MP4, FLAC, and OGG files.

Maschine 3 is available now, starting at $29. Additional bundle and upgrade options are also available.

Moog format synth maker Synthesizers.com has introduced three new modules, including two VCOs and a module designed to make it easy to integrate send effects into your patches.

The Q206 (below) and Q206A VCO modules are both single-space version of the company’s original Q106 Voltage Controlled Oscillator.

With a total range of .05hz to 20kHz+, the modules can be used both as an audio oscillator and a full-featured LFO.

The frequency (pitch) of the oscillator can controlled manually, by voltages from other modules, and by voltages from controllers such as keyboards. Both linear and standard 1-volt-per-octave exponential voltage inputs are provided.

The Q206A offers a different set of features in the output section than the Q206. Where the Q206 has individual outputs for each of 5 waveshapes, the Q206A has a rotary switch that lets you select the waveform form, positive and inverted versions of the output, and attenuation of the output signal.

The Q201 FXLP (Effects Loop) provides an easy way to integrate external effects into MU patches.

Synth level signals can be very large (reaching up to 10V peak to peak or even higher). These signals may be too large for some external effect circuits, leading to overdriven inputs.  So the Q201 offers adjustable attenuation of the input signals via its SEND outputs. After the signals pass through external effects or stomp boxes, they may need to be amplified back up to blend with synth level signals. The RETURN section provides this adjustable amplification.

The RETURN section also offers a polarity switch in case the signal polarity has been reversed within the effects chain.

Affected signals are then blended with the dry signal in the BLEND section. The dry/wet blend is CV controllable.

Switching jacks in the INPUT and RETURN section allow the Q201 to be used in mono, mono to stereo, or full stereo mode.

The Q201 can also be used as a CV-controllable stereo mixer and output module.

Q201 FXLP (Effects Loop) Overview Video:

The Q206 & Q206A are available now for $320. The Q201 FXLP (Effects Loop) is available for $270.
