Acid Rain Technology's Constellation is an 8-channel pattern generator that aims to revolutionize rhythm by combining up to eight individual Euclidean patterns of different lengths and density to create long, complex, and musically interesting trigger and gate rhythms. Its unique parametric approach allows any of these parameters to be modulated with CV through one of eight freely assignable CV inputs, introducing significant ability for its rhythmic output to vary over time. Furthermore, the module can achieve a wide range of true polyrhythms through per-channel clock division and multiplication. Constellation's advanced features include saving and loading channel settings from up to 20 save slots per bank and up to 999 banks, manually playing save slots like a keyboard in live mode, and robust internal and external clock options to sync tightly with all other gear. If you're looking for a rhythm generator that provides intentional, unexpected, and exciting rhythms for the foundation of your compositions, Constellation could be a unique set of tools for you.

The Farfisa Polychrome Phaser Eurorack Module Adaptation helps to revive the psychedelic sound of the 70s with its throwback 6-stage phaser section from the Italian Stallion. This 4HP analog circuit module has four knobs - FREQ, RES, RATE, and MOD AMT, along with bi-polar activity indicator LED for internal LFO or external CV and trimmers for initial frequency and LED adjustment. Users can plug their audio into the IN jack, use an external signal to control the frequency via CV JACK to bypass the internal LFO, and get the audio output from OUT JACK. Check the reverb store for this module's availability.

The Tiptop Audio Fold Processor Eurorack module is a voltage-controlled wave multiplier and sub-octave generator based on a classic diode design. This sound processing module allows for the creation of beautifully animated folding sounds from standard sine, triangle, sawtooth, and square waves. The Fold Processor includes a CV input with an attenuator, adjustable voltage-controlled Inject, and a subdivide generator that squares the fold output to create up to four sounds spaced one octave apart. Mixing the four can result in anything from discordant square wave swarms to sweet harmonic oscillator stacks, making for a truly versatile and multi-faced module.

The ST Modular DUCK Eurorack Module is a ducking module that reduces the audio signal level when a CV GATE signal is applied. It is perfect for resolving issues with overcrowded mixes or for achieving the coveted 'sidechaining-sound', without any signal compression. The module has four potentiometers that control the way the signal is 'ducked', including AMOUNT, HOLD, RISE, and FALL. It also features two LEDs that indicate the signal level and the level of signal reduction, and can be controlled via CV input. The module comes in three PCB boards and has wrong polarity protection.

The cubusynth-4vclfo Eurorack module, featuring four triangle waveform Low-Frequency Oscillators (LFOs), is a versatile modulation tool for creating intricate and dynamic patches. Each LFO has a frequency knob and CV inputs with attenuators, allowing for precise control over modulation rates. Additionally, the "Aux" input is normalized to the four CV inputs, enabling simultaneous modulation of all LFOs with a single signal. Plugging a cable into a CV input breaks its connection from the aux input, providing more opportunities for experimentation. Overall, the cubusynth-4vclfo is an essential addition to any modular setup focused on creative modulation.

The vaemi-shift-register is a versatile Eurorack module that can function as both a sequencer and an oscillator. As a dual 4-bit Shift Register module, it stores and shifts data in accordance with a clock signal reference. It can be used as a 4-step sequencer that outputs a 5V gate signal. The first output gives the same pattern entered in the data signal but synced with the clock, while the subsequent outputs give delayed versions of the pattern. When used in the audio rate range, it functions as an oscillator with clock signals that are audible to humans. The module also has a reset input for clearing the memory of data. It is possible to create loops and manipulate the phase of recorded patterns by redirecting outputs to the data input and starting the Shift Register at different times. The module is a DIY or assembled kit available from en.vaemi.net.
