The Steady State Gate by Steady State Fate is a unique and versatile multi-mode low pass gate with additional timbre modifying circuitries, including a wave folder, soft saturation overdrive, and QAOS resonance character modifier. It has 6dB/Oct bandpass, 6dB/Oct lowpass, and 12dB/Oct lowpass filter modes, as well as manual frequency cutoff and resonance control with CV input. The module also has a voltage controlled decay envelope tailored to the vactrol LPG response curve, and an excite input that conditions gates, triggers, and external envelopes to "pluck" the low pass gate with sensitivity to envelope attack up to about 50ms. It can be used as a standalone VCF or as a standalone VCA with high-end roll-off.

The Bastl Instruments SoftPop SP2 is a semi-modular synthesizer with an integrated quantizer and sequencer. It's a unique instrument that has been in development for three years, and is a rework of the original 2017 CASPERxBASTL Softpop. The SoftPop SP2 is a radical subtractive synth that excels at both melody and noise equally, ranging from bassline bangers to angelic chord progressions and distorted beats. Its patchbay is eurorack compatible, and it has the additional capability of processing inbound audio through the filter and VCA. The SoftPop SP2 comes with a 16-pin eurorack power header that requires 5 volts in the bus-board, and adaptors for mounting to eurorack rails are available as open-source files.
