The Jolin Ashiko is a quad stereo VCA module that allows users to create multi-directional sounds from mono sources. With 4 stereo full range VCAs and individual toggle switches for mono or stereo mode, the Ashiko is versatile for controlling up to 4 sources with independent CVs and sending them to 8 different outputs. The module features transistor-based CV inputs designed to give the best results with LFOs and selectable hard/soft switching curves. It works with audio and CV sources and has a "Whatever" power connector that doesn't require attention to polarity. Overall, the Jolin Ashiko is a powerful tool for manipulating stereo images and creating unique soundscapes in a quadrophonic system.

The Veratrum Eurorack module is a noise and texture voice with five oscillators that go through a pseudo ring modulator, producing chaotic drones, swarming sounds, and clicks and blips on lower frequencies. The module features two touchpads that control the volume and pitch of two of the oscillators, three VCO with frequency pots and CV input jacks with offset potmeters, and one LFO with ramp, saw, and triangle waveforms. The module also includes a vactrol lowpass filter with CV input jack and two audio outputs: square swarm and filtered. This module provides an excellent opportunity for exploring and creating chaotic, swarming soundscapes in eurorack systems.
