The Doepfer A-126-2V Voltage Controlled Frequency Shifter II eurorack module is a fully analog frequency shifter for audio signals capable of shifting each frequency of the incoming audio signal by the same frequency without changing the pitch. The module has a frequency range of about 8 octaves and is equipped with controls, inputs, and outputs that allow for external voltage control of the shifting frequency and mixing unit. The A-126-2V comes with a 12-stage Dome filter that generates 90 degrees phase shift with less than 0.3 degrees error over a frequency range of about 50 Hz to 14 kHz, along with an envelope follower to derive an envelope signal from the audio signal. This module is fully DC coupled, allowing even very low frequency shifts with an external quadrature VCO, and offers a range of creative possibilities for frequency shifting in electronic music.

The AtoVproject Gaeto Black is a new type of clocked logic module that rewards exploration. This 6hp module can perform a variety of functions including clock division, legato generation, trigger to gate conversion, rhythm quantization, sub-octave generation with PWM, and generative trigger sequencing. The module stores a 1 if the input signal is over 1V and a 0 if not, and then outputs accordingly on the next clock pulse. The output can follow the pulse width of the clock or be maintained high until the next clock, which can be CV-controllable. Multiple Gaetos can be chained together to create shift register functions. The module is available in both assembled and DIY kit forms, with black or grey panels.
