Unleashing Creativity with the Venus Instruments Veno-Echo: A Review of the Ultimate Stereo Digital Delay Module for Eurorack Synthesizers
The Venus Instruments Veno-Echo is a powerful and versatile stereo digital delay module for Eurorack synthesizers. This module features two separate channels with independent controls for delay time, feedback, and reverse direction, as well as width and cross feedback for total control over the stereo soundscape. The Veno-Echo can generate rhythmic patterns that stay in sync with the rest of your system or offer a dragging feel or out of sync repeats. The module also features highly flexible and intuitive controls, allowing full creative freedom with huge modulation potential. Ultimately, the Veno-Echo is a versatile and powerful tool for sound design experimentation, evoking the sound of overdriven valves with warm wet line high-pass and low-pass filters, configurable cutoff frequencies and resonance, as well as down-sampling, and 1-knob asymmetric clipping saturation algorithms.

The ADDAC System's Stereo Discrete MixerADDAC713 Eurorack Module is a fully discrete analog mixer that can produce gritty and gnarly sounds. It has a wolf in sheep's clothing appearance but a dark and snarly soul that can push your sounds into a new realm. This module has four gain controls that can go to extreme levels, and the first three channels boast pan controls. The feedback knob can overdrive the entire mix, resulting in a gate effect. Additionally, it has a master output volume knob, soft clipping switch, and two LED monitors for the left and right channels. This mixer was initially designed for percussion use, with mono inputs and panning, but it now has an added stereo input for the first three channels, keeping the fourth in mono.

The Expert Sleepers Pandora is a unique Eurorack bandpass filter/distortion processor that combines power MOSFET transistors and vactrols. This module offers voltage control over the filter, gain, and filter feedback, with a wet/dry mixer also under voltage control. The Pandora also features a range switch that drops the filter response several octaves, allowing for the synthesis of percussion sounds when triggered. This 100% analogue module provides unconventional percussive capabilities for electronic music production.

The Cosmotronic Peradam is a unique analog distortion module with an internal sidechain that creates complex self-distortion sounds in the main signal. The side-chain is modulated by itself to create a signal at twice the frequency of the original and then modulates the amplitude of the VCA. The module also has a dual-band drive circuit before entering a soft clipper output stage. It allows for a broad palette of distortions, from subtle saturation to massive clipping and complete destruction. The module comes with a +6dB gain switch on the input and a blend slider to dial in your tones. The Cosmotronic Peradam is available for pre-order at an MSRP of €270 and is estimated to ship in January 2022.

The Suppository of All Wisdom Eurorack module by nonlinearcircuits is a phase shifter with a badly designed circuit that creates chaotic sounds with or without CV signals. The circuit combines the Steiner Phaser and Lovetone Doppelganger, using LEDs to fire up LDRs and phase shift audio. The module has individual and mixed outputs, stepped capacitor values, feedback pots, and black/gold panels. The article explores the module's chaotic magic and its unique design.

The Xaoc Devices Koszalin Eurorack Module is a powerful stereo frequency shifter that allows for both quasi-exponential and linear frequency changes of up to +/-5kHz, resulting in a plethora of atonal sounds. Unlike pitch shifting, frequency shifting produces a linear translation of signal spectrum and can create complex phase cancellation patterns, resulting in striking barber-pole effects. The module offers direct control over feedback amount, routing, and response and can also facilitate frequency modulation of any stereo audio signal through its linear TZFM input. With its unique capabilities, the Xaoc Devices Koszalin is a must-have for anyone exploring the atonal soundscape in their music.
