The little yellow oplab accessory for the OP-Z brings CV, trigger, gate, Pocket Operator sync and MIDI In/Out making it so versatile you've got to wonder why it didn't have it in the first place?
Not only has Softube recreated a very interesting vintage unit, it's also come up with what we think is a really good offer - three plug-ins for the price of one!
Steven Slate announced he's taking no less than five new products to NAMM this year. I expected this to be good and the man did not disappoint (hats off to his team, too)! Here's what we got...

Intellijel introduce us to dual channel quantizing and SH-101 style sequencing in Scales and a 4 channel gate sequencer in Steppy that you can program in steps or on-the-fly
At last, after two years of waiting, the WMD trigger sequencer is poised for release. The METRON is now available for preorder and should ship early 2019

The second batch of Analogue Solutions 3-channel, CV and gate sequencer are ready and the Generator is now generally available. Could this be the modular controller you've been looking for?
The Q170 MIDI Gates is a useful module that translates MIDI notes and CC messages into 8 channels of gates for your 5U Moog Unit format modular synthesizer
$20 will get you the Audible Instruments Preview module for virtual Eurorack VCV Rack. You can then run fully functional virtual versions of Mutable Instruments Plaits and now Marbles for free.

We saw the prototype at Superbooth but now Analogue Solutions have named it and told us it's coming very soon. Generator is a 3 channel CV step sequencer and gate sequencer and the leaked images look awesome.

We first saw the Quad LFO at NAMM but didn't realise that you could record 16 steps of parameter automation. You can also distort the waveforms, change the phase and attenuate the output. It's full of ...

Grayscale has taken the Turing Machine and given it a jolly good upgrade. Individual step outputs and CV inputs take it in all sorts of interesting directions and there are three sizes to choose from.

The Thereminator adds more dimensions to a Theremin performance with three positionally controlled triggers or gates to either the pitch or volume antennas. Trigger drums, samples and sequences as you play.

It doesn't have a name yet, or a printed faceplate but it has a lot of knobs with LED centres and 16 steps of CV and gate sequencing with many performance related controls and possibilities.

The Behringer onslaught continues with their long-awaited take on the classic Roland SH-101. The MS-101 replicates but also enhances with a triangle wave, FM, improved sequencer and the modulation grip as ...
