Drum Farm is a percussion production machine that let’s you grow synth and sampled drums and then harvest them into vats of groovy goodness.

The Lifeforms SV2 has 2 main oscillators, plus 2 sneaky oscillators, 2 growly filters, duophonic and paraphonic possibilities and a shed load of modulation.

In collaboration with Befaco, Mylar Melodies has forged an 8-channel random CV generator called the Random8.

I used Befaco’s Backpack to haul my 7U modular case and accessories across London. Here’s how that went.

New 12-channel sequencer from Cre8audio. Programm has 8 drum tracks, and four melody tracks, two are CV/Gate and two are MIDI, although it can all be MIDI.

The Servo Controller is designed to physically turn knobs on pedals, amps and other gear using little servo motors controlled by expression pedals.

Emily Hopkins has designed a sort of ambient glitch machine pedal for messing with your audio. It’s fun, unexpected and more lo-fi than you’d think.

Ballista Blast is a hybrid synth voice with classic waveforms, wavetables and some funky FM with multiple algorithms. It has a great filter, useful envelope and lots of CV for modulation.

This perky little VCA/Envelope combo has found itself to be very useful in my rack. It’s a VCA with a Decay envelope built in that you can also feed out to a filtercutoff which saves you a bunch of modules.

It’s an Analog Resonant Phase Rotator, model of 1977, reworked to give a 4/6-stage phaser, three resonance feedback modes and an LFO. You can also pop an Allpass filter expansion board on the back for up to 22 stages.
