Synthesist and VCV Rack guru Omri Cohen shared this overview of the Synthesis Technology Cloud Terrarium & Quad Morphing VCO modules in VCV Rack.
The two modules are some of the most powerful VCOs available in Eurorack. Unfortunately, they went out of production a few years ago, and Synthesis Technology ceased trading with the death of founder Paul Schreiber, earlier this year.
The Cloud Terrarium features cloud oscillator features of the SynthTech’s earlier E340 Cloud Generator, plus wavetable features of their E350 Morphing Terrarium oscillator.
The Quad Morphing VCO builds on this, offering four independent morphing VCOs.
Both modules are available now in VCV Rack as a bundle for $30.
The video, via Autodafe, demonstrates how to build a DIY module to host VCV Rack, the virtual Eurorack modular synth, inside a hardware Eurorack module.
Synthesizers.com – MU-format synth maker – has announced that a selection of its modules is now for free in VCV Rack, a popular virtual modular synth platform.
“We’re excited to share that we’ve partnered with Vult to bring 22 of our Synthesizers.com modules to VCV Rack,” they said. “These virtual modules are completely free to download, so you can patch all you want, all from the comfort of your computer.”
The selection of modules includes the modules needed to create a complete synth voice, along with a step sequencer and some of the company’s more advanced modules, like the Gate Math.
