The limited edition dualMOVE module from Music Thing Modular is now available for Eurorack enthusiasts. The 4hp module features a motion detecting PIR sensor that triggers a 2-channel switch when a warm body moves within range. When both switches are in 'MOVE' position, input and output are connected only during movement or a brief delay after movement. 'STOP' reverses the situation, allowing signal to pass through only when there's no motion. The FLIP input overrides the sensor, flipping a signal each time it passes the threshold and creating a fast and audible relay. The module can also be used to trigger sequencers and other devices, and can even function as a crude and noisy oscillator.
