Intellijel made Swells a playable reverb with faders, rise, fall, ebb, and flow

Let’s hear it for reverbs you can play, morph, squash, and swell — not just set and forget. That’s Intellijel Swells, the “Multi-Model Reverb Module with Swell Generator,” or perhaps more aptly, “a lush reverb with a bunch of faders you can jam on.”

Basil stereo delay completes Bastl’s PIZZA trio on VCV Rack — all for free

The freeware VCV Rack ports of Bastl’s delicious PIZZA family now include the original Pizza oscillator, Crust drum/percussive voice, and Basil stereo delay. Endless patching pleasures await with these (and don’t forget the free and open source KOMPAS “probability navigator,” too).

As much triggering as you can handle: Noise Engineering Multi Repetitor

Tough times and tight spaces call for deep algorithmic generative triggers. So now is a great time for Noise Engineering to reimagine their trigger module. Tap a tempo, patch a cord, and instantly spin up percussive patterns you can freely modulate — the best of what the company gave us before, but now with live performance transformations and more possibilities. It’s Multi Repetitor. It’s Multi Repetitor. Sorry.
