Unfiltered Audio Battalion drum synth, FX in VCV Rack are a revelation

At attention! Unfiltered Audio has taken their deep drum synth and favorite effects and remade them as VCV Rack modules. This is instabuy territory ($10-20 a la carte or an intro pricing of $30 for the set, compatible with the free Rack).

The joy of Splines, a module that can make anything from curves

It’s an oscillator, a step sequencer, a modulation and envelope source, a quantizer (with custom tunings) — even a scope, thanks to its interactive, animated visual interface. Thorn Audio’s new Eurorack module can make anything from elegant, precise curves. It’s more than just another do-everything module. Now you’re playing with Splines.

And it’s worth just listening to the music flowing out of this device — now shipping.
