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 Touch Sensing Note Memory MKII is a powerful monophonic keyboard controller for Eurorack that offers precise pitch control and dynamic performance capabilities. With 12 tuneable note plates, two transposition buttons, and a 16-bit DAC for accurate pitch output, this module provides maximum human control through its pressure sensing capabilities and dedicated CV output. It also includes an arpeggiator, sequencer, quantizer with user-editable scales, pressure CV recorder, envelope generator, random voltage generator, slew limiter, and vibrato. The module can store up to 17 presets, including keyboard layout, sequence, and all options under settings. Firmware v4.0 adds new features, such as rhythm sequencing for the arpeggiator, improved recording mode for the note sequencer with overdubbing, pressure-controlled transposition, and more. The new version is more compact, with illuminated pushbuttons replacing the transposition plates, a narrower panel, matte black finish, and gold-plated holes for better LED display visibility. The module no longer requires an external 5V power source, and the MPR121 breakout board now also accepts those made by Adafruit.
