  1. Waveform Fusion: AI012 Animator, Mak Mak VCA, & Distortion Buff

    This article explores the combination of three unique Eurorack modules: the AI012 Wave Animator, Mak Mak VCA, and the Buff Distortion module. The AI012 Wave Animator offers a range of timbres and can be used for creating rhythmic variations. The Mak Mak VCA is a versatile quad channel module that can function as a VCA, attenuator, or mixer with saturation effects. The Buff Distortion module provides a rich fuzz texture while maintaining a clear bass and high-frequency response, ideal for creating intense techno percussions. Combining these modules can result in innovative and dynamic soundscapes for your Eurorack setup.

  4. Exploring the Twisted Brother of Compressors: Introducing the Cosmotronic Peradam Eurorack Module

    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.
