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.
Medusa is a hybrid synthesizer combining analogue and digital oscillators, up to 6 paraphonic voices plus an expressive 64 pad grid of sequencing and modulation programming. Now with video!
Zadar uses deformable vector shapes to generate hundreds of different and manipulable envelopes across 4 channels of CV modulation goodness. This is no ADSR.
An image of a cat looking at a little skiff of unseen modules appeared on Instagram teasing some new modules from Busycircuits. Can you work out what they could be?

By a stroke of complete genius, the lamented Dreadbox Erebus paraphonic synthesizer is back in kit form as the Lil' Erebus DIY Kit for under €200. They won't have stock for long!
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.
In there somewhere is the name "Stages - Segment Generator". Could this be the next module from Mutable Instruments? What do you think it might be? Update: new Instagram video of something called Marbles?
Behringer drop another teasing naked PCB image into their Facebook feed and the general consensus is that it's a clone of the Sequential Circuits Pro One. What do you think?
W.A. Production has a brand-new delay plug-in called SphereDelay, with a streamlined feature set, sleek GUI and a nice introductory price of only 7 GBP - frankly, that's a steal.

Vintage Synth lab was showing the dual oscillator VCO-2 based upon the CEM3340 chip, with independent controls and cross modulation, hard and soft sync options. Plus the delayed envelope generator D-Env.
The Manther Growl is a 26hp complete monosynth version of the desktop Manther. There's also a Quad Envelope, LFO and VCA, 4 channel drum synth and a Random module.

Catalyst Audio has been quietly working on recreating these classic Buchla 100 series modules for Eurorack. With no published updates since NAMM 2017 we have all the details on these awesome modules.
Trueno takes what's cool about analogue synths and throws away everything except the sound. This USB dongle-sized analogue synth puts all the controls into a plug-in. Good idea?
