In the article 'Manipulate Your Soundscapes with the Mosaic ADSR Envelope: A Comprehensive Guide,' readers will learn how to shape sound sources and modulate parameters with the dedicated ADSR envelope found in this Eurorack module. The article explains how the four-stage envelope generator gives individual control over each stage, allowing for complex yet detailed modulation over filters, VCAs, effects, and more. With the ADSR, users can patch in punchy synth stabs, sweeping pads, and powerful sonic transformations. The module has a 10V range for maximum control potential and an ergonomic layout, with a width of 14HP and a depth of 38mm in a front panel Intellijel format.

Exploring the Versatility of the Noise Engineering Quantus Trajecta: A Quad Envelope with Polyphony in Mind
The Noise Engineering Quantus Trajecta is a quad envelope designed with polyphony in mind. The universal controls adjust all four envelopes simultaneously, making it easy to keep separate voices related on the fly. Designed with the structure of the envelope from the Cursus and Loquelic Iteritas Percido in mind, the module also includes additional shape control with the addition of Tremolo and ADSR modes. The Quantus Trajecta is a versatile, performable, and utilitarian module suitable for any musician.

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.

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 Random Source Extended ADSR Eurorack module is a versatile envelope generator that offers unique features like voltage control of each segment, switchable slope forms, and an initial voltage controllable delay time. It includes the normal Attach, Decay, Sustain, and Release segments, as well as an initial delay time. With a master 1V/OCT in/out feature, it allows for controlling all slope times, decreasing the entire envelope time as the pitch of an associated oscillator increases. This module is an excellent addition to any modular synthesizer setup, particularly for exploring complex sound design possibilities.

The 'st-modular-envelope' is a feature-packed Eurorack module designed to offer a wide range of envelopes with a variety of fine adjustment options for generating dynamic control voltages. The ADSR/AR envelope generator comes with advanced control and shape functions, with four slider potentiometers to change the length of each ADSR stage from 1ms in FAST MODE to half a minute in SLOW MODE. There are dedicated SHAPE potentiometers for the ATTACK, DECAY, and RELEASE stages, and each phase has its own CV input to control its timing. Other notable features include internal modulation, loop function, and an internal envelope-controlled amplifier. The module has two boards, including the front PCB panel and the main PCB.

The Steady State Gate by Steady State Fate is a unique and versatile multi-mode low pass gate with additional timbre modifying circuitries, including a wave folder, soft saturation overdrive, and QAOS resonance character modifier. It has 6dB/Oct bandpass, 6dB/Oct lowpass, and 12dB/Oct lowpass filter modes, as well as manual frequency cutoff and resonance control with CV input. The module also has a voltage controlled decay envelope tailored to the vactrol LPG response curve, and an excite input that conditions gates, triggers, and external envelopes to "pluck" the low pass gate with sensitivity to envelope attack up to about 50ms. It can be used as a standalone VCF or as a standalone VCA with high-end roll-off.
read moreExploring 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.
