The Weston Precision Audio PA0 Phase-Animated Oscillator is a versatile and innovative Eurorack module that opens up new possibilities for creative sound design. Its voltage-controlled triangle core oscillator is augmented by a triangle phase animator that produces a second set of waves that can be adjusted in phase lag from 0 to 180 degrees from the primary waves. The phase animator can also be pushed past this range to create additional harmonics. The PA0 includes TZPM, TZFM, and exponential FM, making it a powerful tool for experienced synthesists. This comprehensive review explores the module's features, functionality, and sonic potential.

The Black-Noise Sallen Key Eurorack Module is a tribute to the iconic KORG MS-20 filter and is composed of a 2 Poles Low Pass and a 1 Pole High Pass. The filter is unique due to its non-linear feedback path and the integration of LEDs instead of diodes. The Sallen Key can be used as a sound source as it can self-oscillate and tracking is accurate across 6 octaves. Overall, the module has been designed to honor the MS-20 filter while also adding new and unique features to it.

The SoundForce uVCF 6 is an upcoming 6HP Eurorack module that provides a voltage-controlled low pass filter selection between 4 poles (24db/octave) or 2 poles (12db/octave), with FM CV input, VOCT input, and Q CV input. The filter is a Eurorack interpretation of the Juno 60/106 VCF section, built using modern and widely available parts, as the original custom ICs are now obsolete and unavailable. The module also features loudness drop compensation (LDC) to avoid signal loss with high levels of resonance. Despite the differences in sound between the Juno 60 and 106 synthesizers, the topology of their VCFs is exactly the same, and the uVCF 6 aims to bring that character into the Eurorack format.
