Based on the Deep Impact synth pedal, the new pandaMidi Future Impact V3 pushes the design even further, adding bags of features to help you get some deep, deep bass synth tones.
UNION is what happens when a couple of virtual analogue oscillators get it on and have a bunch of wavetable kids while under the influence of a load of effects - and it's only £5.99
To go along with the Deckard's Voice Eurorack module Black Corporation has now announced Rachael, a suitably multi-faceted ring modulating, VCO, LFO, ADSR module that very much has a life of its own.
Expect to see Shepard: a 6-channel performance step-sequencer, Ellis: an 8-output CV controller and Leap: an ADSR and LFO at the forthcoming Superbooth.

The Shrolca takes the Mutable Instruments Shruthi mono MIDI synthesizer and puts it in a Volca sized box and adds a touch keyboard for good measure. It's not exactly innovative but it looks cool.
This Is Not Rocket Science attempt to put the pizazz and romance back into ADSR with Edgecutter. A key feature is the row of LEDs which give a visual indication of where the envelope is at.
Stages offers 6 programmable segments of CV modulation that can combine into envelopes, loop into LFOs and step into sequences. Mutable Instruments continue to define the modular story.
Inspired by the timeless sounds of German electro-pioneers Kraftwerk, LoopLords created and released Kraft Sounds. This is a rompler that features 84 sounds emulating the band's synth-driven style.
