The ALM029 Jumble Henge is a unique and compact Eurorack module that offers a patch-based mixing interface for creating rich stereo mixes from both mono and stereo sources. The module features 16 total inputs with a unique stereo and spectral position for each input, along with per-input resonant analog filters that accentuate lows, low mids, high mids, and highs. It also includes a Mix control for adjusting the depth of the entire mix's filtering, and a clean external stereo input for chaining with another mixer or extra sound source. The Jumble Henge was designed in collaboration with Worng Electronics and is based on their existing larger and more featured 'SoundStage' module. This module is ideal for live sets or more creatively exploring sound in the studio.

The CONTROL module is a versatile module for Eurorack setups that simplifies control over four independent stages. Each section generates an adjustable voltage using a potentiometer between -5V and +5V, making it perfect for a range of uses such as checking CV inputs, grouping together module controls, accessing parameters of external synthesizers, and generating continuous GATE signals. Additionally, the module is skiff-friendly and is available with matte black or white panel options. It can be ordered by contacting the manufacturer, Christian from ph modular.

The ALM Busy Circuits Pip Slope Mk II is a compact envelope and function generator that supports both Attack/Decay and Attack/Sustain/Decay type envelopes with control over Attack and Decay times. The module features morphing between exponential, linear and logarithmic type slopes, and offers loop modes that can repeat infinitely or decrease with time or amplitude for echo and bouncing ball type effects. Improvements in the updated version include increased output resolution, finer control of fast envelopes, a new morphing shape control, switchable 5v or 8v maximum envelope level, additional loop modes, and an additional trigger output. The module is skiff friendly and designed and made in the UK.
