Kraken is a snare drum module for Eurorack generated by 100% digital synthesis using physical modelling to replicate every realistic nuance.
Sinmad has a novel approach to sound generation and a peculiar and organic voice combining two methods of synthesis in a colourful interface to encourage improvised sound discovery.
VIDEO
An unexpectedly fruity software synth from Expressive E. Noisy looks surprisingly groovy and offers an expressive dive into physical modelling and subtractive synthesis.
VIDEO
Just arrived on Kickstarter is the Anyma Phi, a monophonic physical acoustic modelling synthesizer with an exciting array of controls and possibilities.
VIDEO
Applied Acoustics doubles the sound engine for two stacked or split independent timbres based on physically modelled acoustic resonators for a unique level of sound design.
VIDEO
Reason Studios has a new physical modelling synthesizer called Friktion which will bring some wonderfully authentic string sounds to Reason by bow, pluck, vibrato and resonating bodies.
VIDEO
Revealed at NAMM but now shipping is the Qu-Bit Surface multi-timbral physical modelling Eurorack voice for plucks, strikes, bangs, chokes and spatialized stereo.
VIDEO
From 1979 comes Modal Synthesis Voice, a DSP-driven physical modelling modular voice in 4U Buchla format based on the Mutable Instruments Elements.
VIDEO
Qu-Bit has 4 new modules to check out. Aurora is a spectral reverb, Data Bender is a circuit-bent audio buffer, Surface is a physical modelling voice & Cascade is a ratcheting envelope. Now with video

Plasmonic is ready for preorders on Indiegogo and says it's a deeply expressive virtual synthesizer that combines the resonant depth of physical modeling with subtractive synthesis.
VIDEO
Falcon 2 decides that having every kind of synthesis and sampling is not nearly enough and removes all boundaries to let you play with infinite sonic possibilities. Sounds like fun!
VIDEO
Softube Modular acquires another official Mutable Instruments module. Rings is a popular physical modelling Eurorack module that's helped define the sound of Eurorack over the past 3 years.
VIDEO
Four skinny modules from the masters of space saving in the 2HP DC offset, physically modelled Bell, Grain granular processing and Sine VCO with wavefolding an unusual sub output.
VIDEO
Part modular synth, part sound design playground, Alpha Forever is among the strangest and most intriguing (if poorly accessible) bits of kit we've come across recently.
VIDEO
Derailer uses finite-difference time-domain numerical modelling to bring together metal bars to strike or bow and springs to carry sympathetic vibrations between them in deliciously haunting ways.

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.
This Is Not Rocket Science were previewing their new BigFish at the Ginko Modular Fest. It's a 7 algorithm Eurorack synthesizer voice that, they say, has all their guilty pleasures designed into it.
We have rounded up four great free plug-ins that came out this week. You are invited to download them, use them, abuse them, and give them a proper try within your productions. You have nothing to lose!
