The Random Source Extended ADSR Eurorack module is a versatile envelope generator that offers unique features like voltage control of each segment, switchable slope forms, and an initial voltage controllable delay time. It includes the normal Attach, Decay, Sustain, and Release segments, as well as an initial delay time. With a master 1V/OCT in/out feature, it allows for controlling all slope times, decreasing the entire envelope time as the pitch of an associated oscillator increases. This module is an excellent addition to any modular synthesizer setup, particularly for exploring complex sound design possibilities.

The Boredbrain Music EQx5 Eurorack Module is a powerful five-band stereo equalizer that offers voltage-controlled adjustments to all parameters for creative EQ processing. With ±12 dB gain for each frequency band and control voltage inputs, this module provides experimental possibilities for eurorack enthusiasts. The module has a balance control for adjusting the gain of left and right channels simultaneously, and a level control that functions like a VCA when used with its CV input. In addition, the module has two inputs and three outputs, including a mono output that is useful for crossfading between two signals or obtaining a mix of two audio signals.

The Xaoc Devices Koszalin Eurorack Module is a powerful stereo frequency shifter that allows for both quasi-exponential and linear frequency changes of up to +/-5kHz, resulting in a plethora of atonal sounds. Unlike pitch shifting, frequency shifting produces a linear translation of signal spectrum and can create complex phase cancellation patterns, resulting in striking barber-pole effects. The module offers direct control over feedback amount, routing, and response and can also facilitate frequency modulation of any stereo audio signal through its linear TZFM input. With its unique capabilities, the Xaoc Devices Koszalin is a must-have for anyone exploring the atonal soundscape in their music.

The Transient Modules 7J is a compact joystick controller module that offers expressive control for performances and recordings. This module can work as an attenuator or attenuverter with selectable unipolar or bipolar mode switches. The inputs have dedicated attenuators, and both X and Y outputs are equipped with continuously variable offset control for adjusting voltage ranges independently. The joystick is without an auto-return to centre spring, perfect for hands-on expression and playful interaction. Additionally, the 7J has a manual gate generator onboard. All these features make the 7J an excellent choice for those looking to add expressive control to their modular setup.

The NonLinearCircuits Helvetica Scenario Eurorack Module is a dual sample & hold with voltage controlled slew for each channel. It uses a jerk chaos circuit running at 300Hz as a source for sampling, similar to the Buchla 265 Source of Uncertainty but with less components and without weird power supply voltages. The module features two channels in 8HP, with Clock 2 normalled to Clock 1, and offers three output options: Stepped Out only samples from the chaos circuit, whereas the S&H Out and Smooth Out are sampled from whatever signal is patched to the Sample In. The module provides six different chaos signals when driven with a single clock signal and adjusting the Slew pot.

The Joranalogue Audio Design's Orbit 3 Double-Scroll Chaos Oscillator is a Eurorack module that introduces a natural irregularity to music with much more control and repeatability than simple randomness. The module incorporates a modified electronic analogue of the classic double-scroll attractor to create a 'strange' attractor, allowing for adjustment of the distribution of orbits, rate of movement, and positions of equilibrium points under manual or voltage control. It can operate in the audio frequency domain, yielding a variety of waveforms, from near-sine waves to white noise. The module also features temperature compensation and calibrated pitch tracking, making it an unconventional yet accurate audio oscillator. Connect any pair of outputs to the XY inputs of an oscilloscope to explore the chaotic visuals.
