The Endorphin.es Airstreamer 4 Black is an ultra-slim envelope generator module for Eurorack systems that offers looping, ASR, and AD modes. Its unique features include CV control over the fall, continuously variable shape over both slopes, low-aliasing CV generation with a 224 kHz sample rate, and an audio rate oscillation in cycle mode that allows for use as an oscillator. The polarizer knob with additional VCA input scales and inverts the envelope, enabling a compact sidechain envelope solution without external mixers, inverts, or offset generators. Other capabilities include slew limiter, S&H, and T&H processing for external CV sources.

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.

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.

The Frequency Central Boom!! is an explosive analog drum module that offers a wide range of applications. Its VCO, built around the LM13700, features a HIGH/LOW switch and a SWEEP control for versatile responses. The other half of the LM13700 serves as a release envelope generator with a FAST/SLOW switch and RELEASE control. Additionally, the envelope input is velocity sensitive, providing a dynamic response. This module can craft bass drums, tom toms, chirps, blips, and clicks, making it a must-have for any musician looking to create unique drum sounds.
