Softube has released Vocoder, a new vocoder plug-in designed to deliver classic sounds with a modern workflow. It's also got a couple of tricks up its sleeve.
VIDEO
The Typhon is a quirky combination of analog synthesis, sequencing and digital effects in a very cool collaboration between Dreadbox and Sinevibes.
VIDEO
The Kermit Mark III is an audacious study in multi-channel, tempo-synced, morphing wavetable generating, matrix matching, super modulation while somehow remaining coherent and rhythmically relevant.
VIDEO
Trident is a Multi-Synchronic Oscillator Ensemble which invites three oscillators to play with each other in synchronous, symmetrical and zing modulated ways. Updated with video!

Kilohearts has expanded their Snapin system of effect chain modules into a completely modular hybrid virtual synthesizer. Use sound sources as Generators, add Modulators and load on the Snapin modules
We all thought MASSIVE X was just a couple of weeks away but sadly it's been bumped to a June release. But now we know it's a dual wavetable modulating monster it should be worth the wait.
VIDEO
Waves have a go at making FM synthesis free flowing and easy with Flow Motion FM Synth and bolt in some analog style filtering for good measure. Does it sound as fabulous as it looks?
VIDEO
Mindphaser is a complex TZ-PM oscillator that deals with carriers and modulators, routing through waveshapers and Thru-Zero Phase Modulation with brain-melting and mind phasing results.
VIDEO
If your regular LFO is not cutting it then maybe it's time to throw a Wobbler into your Eurorack. An Advanced LFO with physically modelled shapes, phase modulation and cool lights.
VIDEO
Gathering all their little 3HP Pico modules together Erica Synths created the Pico System complete modular synth. With a couple of changes and improvements to the line-up here's Pico System II.
VIDEO
Bitwig Studio 2.3 fulfils a couple of frequent feature requests with time signatures and larger GUIs for devices, and gives us a whole new synth in the shape of the phase manipulating Phase-4.
VIDEO
Get your fingers into your modular with the Intellijel Tetrapad. Four strips of force, position and pressure sensitive material that can be used to send notes, chords, voltage, control, LFO and all sorts.
VIDEO
The Buchla 259e is the first officially licensed Buchla software emulation. It's called the Twisted Waveform Generator and there's plenty of sonic abuse in here that makes it worthy of the name.
VIDEO
Future Sound Systems have been working with Chris Carter and Roy Gwinn to recreate Throbbing Gristle's classic Gristleizer guitar effects sound in Eurorack. We got our first look at ModularMeets Leeds.
AUDIO
Analogue Solutions announce the second in their desktop analogue SynthBlock series. Dr Strangelove is a fabulous yellow ring modulator with some explosive artwork. Let's hope it sounds as good as it looks.
VIDEO
Bitwig Studio 2 is now available for download and brings modulators, new devices, CV/Gate and the dreaded subscription-style perpetual license.
