The Cosmotronic Peradam is a unique analog distortion module with an internal sidechain that creates complex self-distortion sounds in the main signal. The side-chain is modulated by itself to create a signal at twice the frequency of the original and then modulates the amplitude of the VCA. The module also has a dual-band drive circuit before entering a soft clipper output stage. It allows for a broad palette of distortions, from subtle saturation to massive clipping and complete destruction. The module comes with a +6dB gain switch on the input and a blend slider to dial in your tones. The Cosmotronic Peradam is available for pre-order at an MSRP of €270 and is estimated to ship in January 2022.

The Sovage Engineering LE DECHU Convulted Analog Polymorph VCO/LFO Eurorack Module is a convoluted analog VCO and LFO that offers unconventional waveforms and tones like strings and wind instruments or electric pianos and organs from another world. The ALTERATION knob can act as a pseudo filter while the FULL/DIVIDED and SURGE/ODD/RIDGE switches provide a total of 6 starting shapes to tweak. The module can be used as a classic VCO/LFO using the SEMICIRCLE and TRAPEZOID outputs and the standard RAMP output. The CLIPPING DEPTH knob can add a variable pulse wave to the total mashup combined with a hard clipping stage to design and drive waveforms to a more heavy tone. LE DECHU can accurately track 1v/octave and stay in tune, making it a versatile and unique choice for sound designers.

The Touch Sensing Note Memory MKII is a powerful monophonic keyboard controller for Eurorack that offers precise pitch control and dynamic performance capabilities. With 12 tuneable note plates, two transposition buttons, and a 16-bit DAC for accurate pitch output, this module provides maximum human control through its pressure sensing capabilities and dedicated CV output. It also includes an arpeggiator, sequencer, quantizer with user-editable scales, pressure CV recorder, envelope generator, random voltage generator, slew limiter, and vibrato. The module can store up to 17 presets, including keyboard layout, sequence, and all options under settings. Firmware v4.0 adds new features, such as rhythm sequencing for the arpeggiator, improved recording mode for the note sequencer with overdubbing, pressure-controlled transposition, and more. The new version is more compact, with illuminated pushbuttons replacing the transposition plates, a narrower panel, matte black finish, and gold-plated holes for better LED display visibility. The module no longer requires an external 5V power source, and the MPR121 breakout board now also accepts those made by Adafruit.

The Instruō Neóni is an analog oscillator with through-zero FM functionality that sets it apart from other oscillators in the Instruō product line. Its precision soft sync and directional hard sync modes, nonlinear wavefolding, and internal modulation routings make it the most tonal FM sounds imaginable. Unlike traditional FM, where an oscillator momentarily stalls as negative voltage pulls its frequency down to 0 Hz, Neóni inverts the polarity of its waveforms until positive voltage pulls it back through 0 Hz. This behavior allows for complex waveforms with less non-harmonic sidebands. The module also has linear through-zero and traditional FM with AC and DC coupled functionality, split sawtooth morphing, individual waveform outputs, and LFO mode. Overall, the Instruō Neóni is an excellent choice for anyone looking to explore the tonality of through-zero FM.
