The In The Trees 2LFO Eurorack Module is a versatile double LFO module that offers variable wave and frequency modulation capabilities. With its frequency range from ~0.01Hz to 2Hz in slow mode and from 1.5Hz to 170Hz in fast mode, it provides users with a wide range of options for creating unique sounds. The module features 2 outputs for each oscillator - triangle and variable wave - which can be adjusted from a triangle to something close to a square wave. Additionally, users can modulate the wave shape on the variable wave output and perform frequency modulation with the penetration of the modulating signal into the output. This module is available as a full DIY kit.

The Takaab RLFO module by Siam Modular is a versatile modulation and control voltage generator. It features a built-in LFO, sample & hold, and noise circuits, making it capable of producing random, stepped, and gradual control voltages. The LFO has two outputs, square and triangle, and is internally normalized to the clock input of the sample & hold. The noise is also normalized to the signal input of the sample & hold, which allows it to output a random, stepped voltage without external patching. The RLFO can also sample any external signal and use external clock, gate, or trigger signals to trigger the sample points of the sample & hold. With its slew circuit on the output, the module can produce more gradual or wobbly control voltages.

The Noise Reap Foundation Eurorack Module, also known as the Electro-Organic Bassdrum, is a powerful instrument that closely mimics the thump and feel of an acoustic kick drum. This module attempts to recreate the nuance of an actual acoustic instrument using electrical components. The sound is massive and instantly recognizable as analog, with minor digital augmentations. The Nudge CV input gently modulates the tuning of the drum to add variation and interest. Additionally, two of the three analog envelopes that shape the sound are digitally controlled, allowing for some modifications over a traditional analog bassdrum circuit. Overall, the Electro-Organic Bassdrum is a great addition to any eurorack setup, providing a rich sound that can be tailored to individual preferences.

Unknown Devices has released a new Eurorack percussion module called Raiju that's already making waves within the community. This percussive synthesizer features an analog low pass gate and a complex triangle core digital oscillator that can produce a broad range of sounds from mellow tones to harsh noises. Additionally, the module includes an ADSR envelope generator with a range selector and shape control, a 5-stage wavefolder with gain and offset control macros, and a pitch decay envelope. The module can be customized through an integrated web configurator, loaded, saved, and backed up with presets. One of the most exciting features of the Raiju is its firmware can be updated without the need for a computer. Finally, for a limited time, the module is available at a discounted price of €230 until 07/07.
