At the 2026 Buchla & Friends show, Enjoy Electronics has introduced The Don, a quadraphonic multi-FX processor for 4U Buchla modular systems.
Following The Godfather – their Eurorack multi-FX processor, The Don is tailored to the needs and ethos of Buchla format systems and West Coast synthesis. The Don is designed to be the “central nervous system: of a Buchla-format modular setup. By integrating native banana-jack connectivity and full compatibility with 4U control voltages and signals, it bridges the gap between classic West Coast synthesis and modern, high-fidelity digital processing.
Beyond standard effects and mixing tools, it introduces an experimental quadraphonic approach. Users can spatialize their mix with adjustable spatialization controls, creating dynamic and engaging movements that wrap around the audience.
They say that “The Don is built for the sonic explorer who views the 4U format as the ultimate canvas for experimentation.”
Features:
Independent Quad Channel Strips: Each channel features its own mixing, creative effects, compression with sidechain, ltering, saturation, reverb, and multiple delays with independent parameters and dedicated lters, enabling layered textures and complex polyrhythms.
Native 4U Integration: Redesigned from the ground up with banana-jack I/O and CV ranges optimized for the Buchla ecosystem.
Advanced Spatialization: Dedicated controls for immersive movement, allowing the spatial image itself to become a performative element.
OLED Display: Provides instant visual feedback for every parameter, ensuring precision and ease of use in studio sessions and live performances.
The video, via PEFF, offers a sneak preview of the upcoming Tiptop Audio & Buchla 248t Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator (MARF).
The new module is a reissue of the ’70s Buchla 248 MARF module, adapted to Eurorack format. The MARF is a powerful voltage generator that can be used for a wide range of purposes, including sequencing, modulating, envelopes and more.
Features:
Flexible control voltage generator and processor
A modern recreation of the rare Model 248 from vintage Buchla 200 Systems
16 stages with two independently addressable output sections
Many definable behaviors available on a per-stage basis
Produces anything from step sequences to complex envelope shapes and beyond
Non-volatile memory—presets can be recalled after powering the module off
Compatible with Tiptop’s ART protocol for tuning and polyphony
Details on pricing and availability for the 248t Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator are still to be announced.
At the 2026 Buchla & Friends show, Make Noise has announced the New Universal Skiff System, the MultiWave MIDI Inlet Module and more.
The New Universal Skiff System is a compact modular music synthesizer devoted to multi-channel modular synthesis, using control voltages to create ‘poliphonic’ sound events.
The MultiWAVE provides eight dual wavetable oscillators, the PoliMATHS provides eight complex function generators, and a pair of QXG modules combine for eight channels of low pass gate with stereo mix animation. Together, these three modules enable poliphonic patching from a simple set of controls.
In addition to the 8 channels of Polimaths for modulation, the MultiMod creates eight time-shifted variants of a single control signal, for deeper modulation capabilities within the New Universal Skiff System.
QPAS provides Multi-Mode Multi-Peak Stereo Filtering, and the XOH provides a final stereo mix and line-level or headphone outputs for monitoring and/or performance.
The system also includes a USB-C input that can be used for Activation of MultiWAVE channels via MIDI or MPE signals from a USB MIDI host (such as a computer running a DAW or MIDI sequencer).
Features:
The New Universal Synthesizer System modules come together in a unified system!
Voltage controlled eight channel dual wavetable oscillator: MultiWAVE
Voltage controlled eight channel complex function generator: PoliMATHS
Voltage controlled low pass gate/mixing: QXG (x2)
Voltage controlled flock of inter-related modulators: MultiMod
Voltage controlled Multi-Mode Multi-Peak Stereo Filtering: QPAS
Stereo Mixing and Final Outputs: XOH

The MulitWAVE MIDI Inlet music synthesizer module is a passive expansion module that adds USB MIDI access to the MultiWAVE. It enables Activation of MultiWAVE channels via MIDI signals from a USB MIDI host (such as a computer running a DAW or MIDI sequencer).
The MultiWAVE MIDI Inlet is required for MIDI control of MultiWAVE outside of the New Universal Skiff System.
Features:
Activate MultiWAVE via MIDI/MPE using USB-C input and a USB Host
Easy access to MultiWAVE USB functions (firmware updates, custom wavetable uploading)
Pricing: MSRP: $35
The N.U.S.S. Bundle presents the core modules of the New Universal Synthesizer System at a special price for installation into a Eurorack case of your choice.
Features:
Voltage controlled eight channel dual wavetable oscillator: MultiWAVE
Voltage controlled eight channel complex function generator: PoliMATHS
Voltage controlled low pass gate/mixing: QXG (x2)
Voltage controlled flock of inter-related modulators: MultiMod
USB/MIDI integration for MultiWAVE: MultiWAVE MIDI Inlet
Pricing: MSRP: $1669 (Retail value: $1850)
The 2-Zone Skiff is an updated take on original Make Noise Skiff, introduced in 2009.
The Skiff has been updated to meet more demanding power standards, with a 2-Zone Bus Board providing nearly double the power of its predecessor, plus the multi-zone design making it easy to isolate noise-susceptible or noise-causing modules from each other.
The low-profile power headers are shrouded for easy and efficient module installation.
As before, the Skiff’s powder-coated aluminum construction is extremely durable.
Features:
Black Powder Coated Aluminum
2-Zone Bus Board provides ample power and module isolation
16 Shrouded Power Headers
40 Sliding Square Nuts, 40 Black M2.5 Screws
Side Mounted On/Off Switch
5V Power included
Select Bus and Eurorack Bus Compatible
Universal AC Power Adapter works worldwide
Pricing: MSRP: $349
