The Microvolt 3900 was one of the stars of this years NAMM show. A perfectly formed semi-modular with 39 patch points and a creative approach to synthesis with wavefolding, filtering and a dynamic VCA.

A polyphonic virtual synthesizer that integrates perfectly with a knob and touch-screen controller. Giving you the tacticity of hardware with the versatility of software. Is it the best of both worlds?

The Erebus was dead, then it was DIY and now there's a brand new version - long live Erebus 3! Sporting an extra 7 waveform oscillator for sound, FM and LFO plus 35 patch points the Erebus really comes of age.

ALM Busycircuits shows the prototypes of a number of modules including a sampler, a digital wavetable oscillator, a headphone amp and the Quaid Megaslope 5-stage envelope, LFO and step sequencer.
Falistri is a function generator and editor that combines customisable, looping envelopes with morphing shapes, logic, ring modulation, slew and flip/flops. Falistri is the new Maths with knobs on.
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.
Based upon an original schematic from Polivoks designer Vladimir Kuzmin the Polivoks Mini rolls onto your desktop with a simplified and improved architecture while retaining that classic face-melting sound.

The XAOC Sewastopol Audio Port and Voltage Extractor Model of 1948 module for Eurorack sounds like a mouthful of nonsense but it's actually a very useful multi-function audio input and output device.
