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.

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.
