  1. Exploring the Versatility of SLOPES: A Quad Slope Generator for Eurorack

    In the article "Exploring the Versatility of SLOPES: A Quad Slope Generator for Eurorack," the ST Modular SLOPES module is discussed. This quad slope generator has integrated gate division and can generate eight control voltages that can be changed primarily with the potentiometers RISE and FALL. Each slope triggers with a trigger or gate signal and outputs a voltage from 0 to +10V. The RATE knob changes the rate of an internal gate that is divided by 2, 4, 8, and 16 and fed to the four slope gate inputs. The module can be synchronized with external modules by inserting a clock or trigger signal into the CLK input. Overall, the article highlights how SLOPES is a valuable tool for creating organic and moving changes that match the rhythmic pattern of your patches.

  2. Exploring the Touch Sensing Note Memory MKII: A Eurorack Module for Precision Pitch Control and Dynamic Performance.

    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.

  3. Exploring the Capabilities of Verbos Electronics' Polyphonic Envelope Module

    The Verbos Electronics Polyphonic Envelope Module is explored in this article, which is a set of attack-hold-decay envelope generators that can be used independently or together. The module features a unique cascade logic that allows the envelopes to trigger sequentially in three modes, with each envelope having its own gate input, CV output, and end pulse output. This means that the module can be used in up to four-voice polyphonic patches or patches combining the cascades and independent gating. Additionally, all parameters of the module can be voltage controlled. The article highlights the Skew controls that allow for changing times as each new envelope turns on, as well as the facility to make the envelope level 10 volts and get lower as they cascade or start lower and end at 10 volts by the fourth envelope.
