ALM records everything to stems, and now mixes, too, in compact modules

It’s Stem Ripper, and its expansion module accomplice, “With Mixer.” Patch it up quick, record individual stems, and perform stereo mixing with aux sends, panning, and even external USB MIDI control. And fit it all in 6HP + 8HP, with clever Eurorack modules from ALM/Busy Circuits.

MCO mk2 module showing different modes on color display, with graphics - DigiWave, SuperSaw, ToneSum (Additive), LFO Rate, FOrmant, Spread, Shape (Noise), and Voice BC8000 (Vari-mode), panel with CV1, CV, CV3 inputs and push-button knob/navigation.

ALM’s new MCO mk2 packs a studio of classic digital synths into 6HP, VCV

You won’t fit more synths into 6HP of Eurorack (or VCV Rack module) than the newest ALM/Busy Circuits module, MCO v2. It’s a wavetable synth, an additive synth, a Roland JP8000 voice, a vocoder, a 90s VA, a bass and drum synth, and a SID chip emulation all in one.
