The Noodlevolt Fidget Spinner Eurorack Module is a manual LFO with vactrol-controlled attenuator that can produce organic modulation tones that might remind some people of fidget spinning. It has been designed with analog circuits that work differently than other digital designs that use sensors. Its circuit has been hand-wired, tested, and carefully verified to guarantee top-notch quality. The module can go into audio rate modulation for creating gritty FM tones depending on the speed of the spinner. The company offers a printed manual, four screws, power cable, and module in a handmade unit. The product is still at the prototype stage, and the funding from the project's sale is used for mass production, which is expected to entail new refinements such as smaller SMD circuitry.

The Tiptop Audio Fold Processor Eurorack module is a voltage-controlled wave multiplier and sub-octave generator based on a classic diode design. This sound processing module allows for the creation of beautifully animated folding sounds from standard sine, triangle, sawtooth, and square waves. The Fold Processor includes a CV input with an attenuator, adjustable voltage-controlled Inject, and a subdivide generator that squares the fold output to create up to four sounds spaced one octave apart. Mixing the four can result in anything from discordant square wave swarms to sweet harmonic oscillator stacks, making for a truly versatile and multi-faced module.

The article, entitled "Harmonic Carousel: Unmasking the Echoes of Oberhausen, Black 3109 and Fold Processor," delves into the creative combination of select Eurorack modules to create a unique spectrum of electronic sounds, providing an overview of their features, practical uses, and groundbreaking sonic capabilities. The Erica Synths Black 3109 VCF/VCA, a combined lowpass filter and voltage-controlled amplifier classed around the AS3109 chip, overcomes distinct setbacks of previous modules—such as volume drop-off during resonance amplification—making it especially versatile in compact setups, with 1V/oct tuning for perfect keyboard tracking. The St Modular Oberhausen module, with its principal oscillators and modulation oscillators, provides a wide array of complex waveforms. With individual volume control for different waveforms and an additional blend mixer, the module showcases the potential to create diverse waveforms. Tiptop Audio's Fold Processor, a voltage-controlled wave multiplier, and sub-octave generator, aims at creating unique, artistic waveforms from more usual ones through a vintage diode design that adds odd harmonics, emphasizing the beautifully animated folding sounds. The cDVCA by Atovproject introduces groundbreaking technology inspired by class-D amplification. As the world's first VCA that tracks 1V/oct, the module's novel clipping method works exceptionally well for the generation of distinct distortions. While it can generate a simple square wave in its absence, the tone control enables the management of produced harmonics. Wrapping up the build, Big T Music's Rangoon, a reworking of Mutable Instruments' Rings, serves as the perfect 12hp companion module, highlighting the classic 'Rings into Clouds' combination in Eurorack modular with an exceptional design inspired by Blade Runner. This remarkable collection of modules guarantees a myriad of sonic explorations, whether you're after the sweetest harmonics or the grittiest glitches.
