Patience, module from Olivia Artz, scales modulation from seconds to decades

Following the success of Time Machine, Olivia Artz has a new idea for playing with temporality in Eurorack modular. Patience is a “lowest” frequency oscillator, setting duration in seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years … or decades. It’s just launched on Kickstarter.

Elastic OSC, Plaits-derived poly, is now a macOS and Windows plug-in, too

Elastic OSC expands on Émilie Gillet’s 24 original open-source Plaits oscillator models, adding 8-voice polyphony, expression (MPE), a modulation engine, and Elastic effects. And if that sounds like something you wish you had in your computer DAW and not just Android and iOS, now you’re in luck.
