The Takaab RLFO module by Siam Modular is a versatile modulation and control voltage generator. It features a built-in LFO, sample & hold, and noise circuits, making it capable of producing random, stepped, and gradual control voltages. The LFO has two outputs, square and triangle, and is internally normalized to the clock input of the sample & hold. The noise is also normalized to the signal input of the sample & hold, which allows it to output a random, stepped voltage without external patching. The RLFO can also sample any external signal and use external clock, gate, or trigger signals to trigger the sample points of the sample & hold. With its slew circuit on the output, the module can produce more gradual or wobbly control voltages.

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 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.

The cubusynth-4vclfo Eurorack module, featuring four triangle waveform Low-Frequency Oscillators (LFOs), is a versatile modulation tool for creating intricate and dynamic patches. Each LFO has a frequency knob and CV inputs with attenuators, allowing for precise control over modulation rates. Additionally, the "Aux" input is normalized to the four CV inputs, enabling simultaneous modulation of all LFOs with a single signal. Plugging a cable into a CV input breaks its connection from the aux input, providing more opportunities for experimentation. Overall, the cubusynth-4vclfo is an essential addition to any modular setup focused on creative modulation.
