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 Instruō Neóni is an analog oscillator with through-zero FM functionality that sets it apart from other oscillators in the Instruō product line. Its precision soft sync and directional hard sync modes, nonlinear wavefolding, and internal modulation routings make it the most tonal FM sounds imaginable. Unlike traditional FM, where an oscillator momentarily stalls as negative voltage pulls its frequency down to 0 Hz, Neóni inverts the polarity of its waveforms until positive voltage pulls it back through 0 Hz. This behavior allows for complex waveforms with less non-harmonic sidebands. The module also has linear through-zero and traditional FM with AC and DC coupled functionality, split sawtooth morphing, individual waveform outputs, and LFO mode. Overall, the Instruō Neóni is an excellent choice for anyone looking to explore the tonality of through-zero FM.
