1. Raiju by Unknown Devices: The New Percussive Synthesizer That's Taking the Eurorack World by Storm

   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.

2. Flame Voco Rder: The Analog Spectral Vocoder/Looper You Need in Your Eurorack Setup

   The Flame Voco Rder is an analog spectral vocoder/looper that combines an 8-channel analog vocoder with a digital CV recorder. This compact 12HP module includes 16 analog bandpass filters for analysis and synthesis, with digitized envelopes output via the DA converter to analog VCAs of the synthesis tapes. The module also features two audio inputs for analysis and synthesis, a monophonic digital oscillator with three waveforms, and an analog noise generator for internal synthesis. The looper recorder has functions such as record, start, stop, playback speed adjustment, and a maximum of three minutes recording time. The synthesis filters can be manually regulated as simple audio filters with the filter/cutoff control. The module will be available by the end of May 2021.

3. Erfurt by Xaoc Devices: A Versatile Leibniz Binary System Component for Creating Complex Rhythmic Patterns

   The Erfurt by Xaoc Devices is a versatile digital module that can act as an 8-output clock and audio frequency divider, a bi-directional binary counter, and a programmable digital oscillator. It features an 8-bit register that changes state by 1 at each impulse from the clock inputs, with clock patterns corresponding to mathematical or musical divisions of rhythm. When connected to other Leibniz modules, the Erfurt can play various roles, such as generating gate patterns for Odessa harmonic banks or producing interesting glissandi with Drezno and any VCO. The module is based on CMOS logic, allowing it to be clocked at high frequencies and includes clock pre-scaling selection switches.
