The MetaModule puts real knobs and jacks on virtual software modules. Step back from the computer and make music with hardware, while keeping the flexibility and expandability of software.THIS PRODUCT IS ASSEMBLED AND NO DIY!The MetaModule comes with over 160 built-in modules from 4ms Company, Befaco, HetrickCV, NonlinearCircuits, and Scanner Darkly, plus clones of popular classics such as the Mutable Instruments Eurorack modules, fun physical modeling algorithms, and lots of handy utilities.All of the included modules are also available on the computer using the free program VCV Rack. Whether you make patches on VCV Rack and transfer them to the MetaModule, or if you just create patches directly on the MetaModule, there are plenty of creative modules to inspire new ways to make music.MetaModule PluginsIf the 160+ built-in module aren’t enough, you can load more modules as plugins. Already there are over 200 modules in third-party plugins from Bogaudio, Valley, ChowDSP, NANO Modular, and the list is growing. We have an SDK available to make it easy for VCV Rack plugin developers to convert their plugin to a MetaModule plugin. Our licensing terms are non-restrictive: developers are welcome to distribute their plugin in any way they wish, commercially or not.Mapping Knobs and JacksThe MetaModule has 12 knobs that can be mapped to virtual knobs. Each knob can be mapped to up eight virtual knobs, and each mapping can have a different range and offset. You also can save a group of mappings as a Knob Set and switch between Knob Sets with the encoder. You also can map the 8 inputs and 8 outputs to virtual module jacks. Also, the MetaModule is a USB MIDI host, so you also can map MIDI CC, note, gate, and other parameters to knobs and jacks.ExpandersThere are lots of ways to customize your MetaModule. A Wifi expander allows you to wirelessly transfer patches from your computer. Add eight more knobs with the Knob expander, or buttons with the Button expander. A CV/Audio expander adds more high-resolution inputs and outputs, and the Gate In/Out expander adds not only gate jacks but also TRS MIDI and I2C.Under the HoodThere are six CV/Audio inputs, two gate inputs, and six CV/Audio outputs. The CV/Audio jacks are all 24-bit, 48kHz DC-coupled, -10V to +10V. A USB-C jack accepts MIDI devices and thumb drives. Patches and plugins can be loaded via a USB drive or microSD Card, and internal flash memory lets you save patches you always want to come back to.The processor is more advanced than anything 4ms has used in the past, and is among the most powerful processors found in Eurorack. Startup time and latency are blazingly fast.Features:Patches• Patches are loaded from microSD Card, USB drive, or via the Wifi expander• Patches can be optionally saved onto internal flash memory• Create patches using VCV Rack or directly on MetaModule• Patches can be given a name and descriptionMappings• Map each physical knob to up to 8 virtual knobs• Set range and offset for each mapping, including inverted control• Knob mappings are grouped into Knob Sets, and changing Knob Sets can be done quickly without menu-diving• Map physical jacks to virtual jacks, seamlessly making splits/mults• Add or edit modules, cables, and mappings in real-time while the patch is playing• Create alias names for mappings like "Kick Drum Level"Interface• Simple, intuitive graphical interface lets you zoom in on details, or zoom out to get a big picture• Patch View displays the patch as faceplates and cables, with knobs, buttons, and lights animating in real-time• Knob Set View simplifies the display, showing only the mapped knobs for the current Knob Set• Module View shows just one module and lists the names of each jack, knob, and control legibly• Mapping View lets you adjust details of a knob mapping• Adjust styles and visual preferences to your liking• Save, rename, duplicate, and delete patches• Firmware updater and plugin loader read from microSD Card or USB driveHardware• 12 Knobs• 8 CV/Audio outputs, 24-bit 48kHz, -10V to +10V, DC-coupled• 6 CV/Audio inputs, 24-bit 48kHz, -10V to +10V, DC-coupled• 2 Gate inputs• USB-C jack: MIDI Host or MSC (External drive) Host• microSD Card slot• Internal Flash RAM for additional patch storage• Dual-core 800MHz Cortex-A7 plus Cortex-M4 co-processor• 512MB DDR3 533MHz RAM• Bare-metal operation for fast startup and low latencyDIY-Kit-Type:Assembled unit.

Muxlicer is a sequential signal processor designed for add a huge range of special functions to your modular setup in the minimum space.Is divided in three main blocks: a Digital Step Controller, a Gate Generator and an Analog Switch (a.k.a. Mux/DeMux)The module is designed with high “function to HP ratio” philosophy , to have maximum flexibility in minimum space.An analog switch is a device capable of switching or routing analog signals. In the case of Muxlicer, the switch is reversible, so you can send 8 different signals to 1 destination and viceversa.Through Common I/O you can either send a signal to the Mux I/Os or receive a signal from them. (Depending on how the module is connected). It is also used as CV Out when nothing is connected to “All In” or “Mux I/Os”. The eight Mux I/Os are normalled to “All In” jack, so any signal present at this input will go to all of them.Imagine you want to send a signal to steps 1,2,4,5,6 and 8 and two more signals to 3 and 7 respectively. You just need three wires for this: plug the first one to All In and the other two to 3 and 7 Mux I/Os and you are done!Features:• Route any modular signal from one IN up to eight different Outs or vice versa.• Generate CV and Gate signals, been able to work as sequential voltage source a.k.a. sequencer.• Cut audio signals in rhythmical slices with independent volume.• Generate complex and dynamic patterns from any audio or modulation signal.• Create powerful Gate sequences with control voltage retriggering for each step.• Select easily when your signals act on your patch with the Address function.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1.

If you’re new to DIY synthesizer building, you might’ve run into this issue: you just set up your first VCO on a breadboard, spent a good while troubleshooting the stubborn thing – and then you realize you have nothing to actually control it with. OR if you already have a decent modular setup, but still haven't found a simple, hands-on sequencer - here’s a compact, yet versatile 5 step sequencer with adjustable sequence length, per step gate status, and output range! It works both from an internal and external clock and has reset input for more complex sequences if several sequencers are chained up. It works also as a waveshaper when clocked at the audio rate.We – Erica Synths and Moritz Klein – have developed a series of educational DIY kits under the brand name mki x es.EDU with one specific goal in mind: to teach people with little-to-no prior experience how to design analog synthesizer circuits from scratch. What you’ll find in the box is not simply meant to be soldered together and then disappear in your rack. Instead, we want to take you through the circuit design process step by step, explaining every choice we’ve made and how it impacts the finished module.In total, we have developed 9 kits to build a fully-featured modular monosynth: a sequencer, a VCO, a wavefolder, a noise/S&H module, a mixer, a VCF, an Envelope generator, a dual VCA, and an output stereo mixer with a headphone amplifier. Additionally, an affordable eurorack case with a DIY PSU will also be available. While these kits are easy to build, we did not compromise on design and functionality. We will launch one kit every 4-6 weeks. For each kit, there is an extensive user manual (40+ pages; can be downloaded separately) that will dive deep into not only the electronics behind each circuit but also the fundamental principles of sound synthesis. We hope that the mki x es.EDU project will inspire future engineers and will contribute to the ever-growing diversity of electronic music technology.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1.

Polygraf is a step sequencer that features record/edit and playback functionality across 32 different patterns of up to 16 steps.Polygraf has four binary outputs (can be High or Low), labelled One, Two, Four, and Eight. During playback, Polygraf outputs a combination of High and Low for each of those outputs. The combinations can be edited by setting Polygraf to write mode and following the necessary procedure.Patterns: Polygraf has 30 Patterns (Patterns 1 to 30) that can be overwritten/edited, and 2 Patterns (Patterns 31and 32) that cannot be changed. Patterns are composed of up to 16 Steps (but can be recorded to be shorter).Steps: Polygraf has four binary outputs (can be High or Low), labelled One, Two, Four, and Eight. A Step outputsa specific combination of High/Low for each output. During playback, clocking advances Polygraf to the nextStep (or wraps around to Step 01 if there isn’t one). Individual output configuration can be uniquelyrepresented as a 0 to 15 number known as the State.State: A unique combination of On/Off for all of the outputs. There are 16 possible combinations thus 16possible States. We number these 00 to 15. A State’s identifying number can be determined by adding the valueof the outputs that are On. E.g. if outputs One and Four are On (and Two and Eight are Low) then the number is05 (because One + Four = 5).Pattern chaining: When in Play mode, Polygraf’s STATE potentiometer is used to determined the pattern chaining mode. Thepotentiometer acts as a four position switch. When changing between positions on the switch, Polygraf’s 7 segmentdisplays briefly indicate which position you are in, eg briefly showing ‘02’ to indicate the second position.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1.

Eleven rhythmic outputs for wONkY drum patterns.• Pulses turns the sequence from the main Turing Machine into a series of repeating rhythmic semi-random clock signals, that are based on the main clock input.• Seven of the 11 outputs are just the binary steps of the sequence on the front panel of the main module. The other four are derived from those pulses - so when steps 1+2 are active, the 1+2 output pulses.• As with most of the Turing Machine features, it is hard to explain, but very easy and intuitive in practice: send pulses from the module to anything that takes a rhythmic pulse; envelope generators, FM Index inputs, drum modules or other sequencers. Very complex polyrhythms come easily.• Because the Pulses are all related to the main module, they randomise, lock and change with that module. With the main module's big knob at 12 o'clock, the pulses are random. At 5 o'clock, they are locked, and at 3 o'clock they will 'slip' slowly over time.• You can try out a fully operational Turing Machine + Pulses + Volts in the free VCV Rack software.• Pulses connects around the back with a 16-way ribbon cable and works with any Turing Machine (Mk2, or Mk1 with the backpack).• Pulses uses Surface Mount components but is still a very simple build for anyone who has done a bit of through hole soldering beforehand.• Here is an epic series of videos from mixolydian2010 that documents the whole build process• Here's a very old audio demo from when I was developing Pulses, which shows the kind of polyrhythmic craziness it can create.• Despite involving SMD components, Pulses is a very straightforward DIY build, that most people complete without any problems. If you get stuck, the Pulses Github Issue List or the main Turing Machine issue list are probably the best places to start.DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-2.

1) The Turing Machine makes music for you. It's a binary sequencer, based around a 16 bit memory circuit called a shift register. It’s a sequencer that you can steer in one direction or another, not one that you can program precisely.2) You cannot program this sequencer to play specific tunes. You cannot save sequences. You can never go back to a sequence that has changed.3) To put it another way: the Turing Machine produces clocked stepped randomly changing control voltages. In other words, melodies, basslines, sequences. Unlike many random voltage generators, these sequences can be locked into loops that repeat according to the length control.4) The Turing Machine has become one of the most popular Eurorack DIY projects since June 2012. The #turingmachine tag on Instagram contains lots of great demos (and a certain amount of the real Alan Turing).5) This 27 minute video from DivKid explains everything you need to know about the Turing Machine and the expanders.6) And here's me talking for 20 minutes about how the Turing machine works and how it was designed.7) Here is a nice review of the Turing Machine from Sound on Sound Magazine8) Turing Machine Expanders connect to the back of the module, and take the sequence from the main module and use it in different ways:- Volts adds an extra voltage output, with the sequence set by five pots.- Pulses turns the sequence into beats: eleven rhythmic pulse-train outputs.- Voltages adds two CV outputs controlled by 8 faders.- Vactrol Mix is a sequencer controlled matrix mixer. It's fantastic for rhythmically cutting up audio, stereo panning and feedback loops, but a little hard to explain.9) In the Turing Machine, looping is controlled by the big knob.- At noon, the sequences are random.- At 5 o'clock, it locks into a repeating sequence.- At 7 o'clock, it double locks into a repeating sequence twice as long as the 'length' setting.- At 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock, it slips; looping but occasionally changing notes.10) You can try out a fully operational Turing Machine + Pulses + Volts in the free VCV Rack software11) Electronically, the circuit was inspired by the long history of shift register pseudorandom synth circuits, including the Triadex Muse, Buchla 266 Source of Uncertainty and Grant Richter's Noisering.12) Musically, the module was inspired by 60s and 70s minimalist process music by people like Steve Reich, Terry Riley or Philip Glass: “I am interested in perceptible processes. I want to be able to hear the process happening throughout the music.To facilitate closely detailed listening a musical process should happen extremely gradually.” Steve Reich, Music as a Gradual Process, 196813) While designing the Turing Machine, I compiled this Random Reading List which includes notes on the history of random sequence generators from Marvin Minsky's Muse to Don Buchla's Source of Uncertainty to Doepfer's A-149 module.14) Tony Surgeon is a long-time Turing Machine user. In this workshop from 2016 he shows how he uses it to generate sequences which are then looped on an Octatrack.15) Turing Machine is open source, which has inspired many offshoots, alternative panels and third party expanders, including:- Mystic Circuits' Vert and Leaves- Grayscale Modular's Permutation- Magpie Modular's crazy combo panels- Software Turing Machines inside the Ornament & Crime module, Frames Parasites firmware, Reactor Blocks, VCV Rack Modules and even Mutable Instruments' Marbles.16) The Turing Machine is not a real Turing Machine the way Alan Turing explained it. The name is vaguely relevant because the module uses a loop of data being changed, but the similarity ends there. It's certainly not a 'probabilistic random sequence generator based on the research of Alan Turing' ;-).17) The original Mk1 documentation contains more detail about how the Turing Machine works, including a block diagram.18) The Turing Machine is a fairly straightforward through-hole DIY build, but it's fairly dense and takes a while to complete, so probably shouldn't be a first DIY project (I always recommend Mikrophonie or Mini Drive as first builds). Build documents are available from Thonk. If you get stuck, the Github Issue List is probably the best place to start - remember to check closed issues as well as open ones.Features:Turing Machine has the following expanders available:• Pulses MKii• Voltages• Volts• Vactrol MixDIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1.

• Vactrol Mix combines four audio or CV signals into two channels, determined by the random sequence. It’s a great way to create stereo effects, complex waveforms or feedback loops.• This expander is 4 in, 2 out vactrol matrix mixer controlled by the Turing Machine, connected around the back by a 16 pin ribbon cable.• There are four inputs, for audio or CV sources. The four knobs set the level for each input. Next to each knob is a pair of LEDs. When the LED on the left is lit, the signal goes to the left output. When the LED on the right is lit, the signal goes to the right output. The LEDs are controlled by the Turing Machine module. The two outputs are both doubled (mult-ed) to make it easier to patch feedback loops.• Despite being less popular or widespread than Pulses or Volts, this is my favourite Turing Machine expander. It is a unique device that turns mundane source material into wild, unpredictable but rhythmically accessible patterns of sound. It’s a great way to create stereo effects, shifting drones, complex waveforms or feedback loops, and can be the heart of small (but chaotic) system.• Vactrols are electro-optical devices; a light shining on a light-dependent resistor. They have an extraordinary history, from powering the optical soundtracks on the first sound films in the 1920s to studio compressors, the tremolo in Fender guitar amps, and many of Don Buchla's 1970s synth designs. Modern vactrols are an LED pointing at a cadmium light dependent resistor, sealed together in a little black plastic box. Because the LDR reacts relatively slowly, the signals cut together smoothly, with no clicks or pops. Unfortunately, the cadmium in light dependent resistors is banned in Europe, so Vactrols are becoming harder to find.• Feedback is where this module gets really interesting. Try sending the (bottom) left and right outputs to your output mixer, and the (top) left and right outputs to spring reverbs or delays, patching the delay/reverb outputs back into input channels. Carefully ride the input levels, and you'll get snippets of feedback. The main clock speed can have a huge effect on feedback levels, because it takes a while to build up.• There are lots of Vactrol Mix audio examples in my Soundcloud: Twenty Minutes of Madness, Contact Mic Feedback and this ancient track recorded using the breadboard prototype.• The Vactrol Mix is DC coupled, so you can also rhythmically cut up DC sources; mix LFOs at different speeds with audio rate oscilllators, and frequency modulating a pair of oscillators using the two outputs.• This module was inspired by Grant Richter's Cadavre Exquis voltage controlled mixer, which was inspired by André Breton's surrealist game Exquisite Corpse. Richter's mixer also inspired the RxMx module by Make Noise.• Jonathan Higgins, on Facebook: 'There isn't a patch I don't use it on. People often thing you can only use it for crazy stereo percussion (which it is amazing at). But I also often patch all four outputs from the humpback filter into it for evolving stereo drones.'• The Vactrol Mix is a very straightforward through-hole DIY build.

• CV expander with 8 faders.• This is an eight stage random looping sequencer with illuminated faders, controlled by the main Turing Machine. Unusually, any number of stages can be active at once, creating unpredictable results.• It has two outputs, one normal – with a scale control that works in the same was as the similar control on the main module – and one inverted. The inverted output has a ‘shift’ control which raises (offsets) the voltage by up to 9 volts. This means you can drive positive-only modules (i.e. quantizers) with the inverted output.• In some ways, this module has been replaced by the smaller Volts expander, but some people still enjoy it. It's bigger and more tactile, and the two outputs interact in interesting ways.• Volts is a shrunken version of the original Voltages expander, and was designed in one day while on holiday in Cornwall.• This module is compatible with all versions of the Turing Machine. With the older Mki Turing Machine the Backpack module is also required.• Voltages is a very straightforward through-hole DIY build, that would be a good first DIY project. If you get stuck, the Voltages Github Issue List or the main Turing Machine issue list are probably the best places to start, although very few people have ever had difficulty with this module.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1.

nQuencer is a Eurorack module that turns the AtoV 16n faderbank into a step sequencer.Connect a 3.5mm stereo cable to the i2c socket, patch in a clock and get a pitch and gate output.When the nQuencer module receives a trigger at the Clock input it reads the state of the first 16n Faderbank fader and outputs a corresponding voltage at Output 1. At the next clock signal it will read the second fader and so on until it reaches the end and loops back to the start.Push the reset button or send a gate to the input to move back to the start.If a fader is at the very bottom no gate will be generated for that step in modes that output gates. The last fader that isn't at the bottom determines the length of the sequence.NOTE: Building the nQuencer module involves surface mount soldering using 0603 components and is therefore not recommended unless you have experience with similar projects. Aside from soldering tools you will require a multimeter to calibrate and suitable equipment to programthe microcontroller if you didn’t purchase one with your PCB.Features:Sixteen steps• up to 16 step sequence• out 1 outputs pitch and out 2 outputs a gate• reset button and input move back to the startTwo Eights• splits the 16n faderbank into two halves each with upto 8 steps• out 1 outputs pitch for the left half and out 2 for the right• clock advances both sequences or reset in advances sequence 2 (alt reset in)Transpose• splits the 16n faderbank into two halves each with upto 8 steps• values from the right half (up to 1v) are added to the left• out 1 outputs pitch and out 2 outputs a gate• clock advances both sequences or reset in advances sequence 2 (alt reset in)DJ• splits the 16n faderbank into two halves each with upto 8 steps but only one sequence at a time• reset button switches the output to the other sequence or reset in (alt reset in)• out 1 outputs pitch and out 2 outputs a gateOptions• hold the reset button to enter settings mode, use the faders to change settings and press the button to exit• direction up, down, up down, random• probability chance of a note firing• output voltage range max 1v, 2v, 3v, 4v• fader at bottom note off, output 0v, last fader not at bottom controls sequence length on/off• gate length• alternative reset input mode on/offQuantizer• root note• scale - chromatic (semitones), ionian (major), aeolian (natural minor), harmonic minor, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, major pentatonic, minor pentatonic, blues, disabled (unquantised)DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-2.

EUCLIDEAN is a gate sequencer for the Eurorack format based on the euclidean algorithm. It is based on the euclidean DIY module developed by Music Thing Modular’s Tom Whitwell, and he has blessed this module with his approval.The module consists of three channels of sixteen step sequences, and each channel can be set to any length, density and offset between one an sixteen. You get clear visual feedback due to the 8×8 matrix LED display, and setting each channel is easily done with the three encoders.EUCLIDEAN is perfect for creating polymetric rhythms, odd time signature sequencing or clock division with a twist.The module runs an internal clock set to 120 BPM by default, but can be triggered and reset externally. Each sequencer channel has a dedicated trigger output. In addition, the first channel has an inverted output that outputs triggers on every offbeat.Trigger output voltage: 5VDIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. Only trough-hole parts to solder. Make sure to check the build guide before you buy.

ODDS is a generative melodic looping sequencer for the Eurorack format. It generates notes based on random probability, and it is designed to be as musical as possible while maintaining a direct and minimalistic interface. It enables you to set a probability to generate random notes within a given octave, scale and chord structure.The module can via the LOOP switch either be set to indefinitely generate random notes, or be set to loop the last up to 64 steps. The V/OCT input acts as transposition within the chosen scale, making it easy to create chord progressions.Gate output voltage: 5 VCV output voltage range: 0-7 VDIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-2.

Designed with performance in mind, POLYSEQ delivers a flexible polyphonic step sequencing workflow. Any of the 8 memory slots can be programmed via external CV/GATE up to 64 steps in length. In playback mode, any of the three outputs can play back from any memory slot, making it possible to create polyphonic and polymetric sequences with low effort. POLYSEQ can be clocked internally with swing or externally via the clock input.Polyseq can be clocked internally (5-300 BPM) or externally. The internal clock has swing from 5 to 95% (Hold MODE and adjust the tempo pot).Beside CV and GATE, sequences can have rests, ties and glide. There’s also a skip function which steps forward in the sequence without overwriting anything. This is handy for editing sequences or changing the sequence length. Each channel can do forward, backward, ping-pong and random playback (Hold MODE and press channel switch to toggle through the modes). Each playback channel can also be clock divided from 1 through 8 (Hold MODE+CH and adjust the memory division rotary switch). Finally, each channel can be individually muted (Short press on channel switch, latching).DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. All SMD parts are pre-soldered, only trough-hole parts to solder. For build guide, more info, videos etc. please check the buttons below.
AlgoRhythmic Generator. Two outputs and five different rhythmic flavors multiply by a load of “algo-rhythmic” processing to result in a practically infinite number of polyrhythms. That’s the fundamental formula that produces the Knight's Gallop principle : a dual trigger generator providing sequences according to tables and modes.The source tables contain patterns such as the Euclidean polyrhythms, and the modes allow the user manipulate and mangle those patterns according to different algorithms. As the module has two outputs, it is a very powerful instrument to create diversified and instantaneous polyrhythms.Features:• Dual Output Trigger Generator• Variable length sequences (up to 16 steps)• Length and Pulse amount potentiometers and CV inputs• Shift + & shift - buttons allowing to shift the sequence forward and backward• Main mode (MN) providing a lot of utlity modes for the second output : reset, no shift, invert and reverse• Compute mode (CP) calculating associated sequences for the second output delivering very musical polyrythm• Random mode (RD) adding randomness on the second output sequence, 4 amounts of randomness determined by the sub mode• Dual mode (DL) allowing to set the two outputs seperatly• Record mode (RC) turning the Knight's Gallop into a “play your sequence on the buttons to record it” module• Five different kind of tables for five different rythmic flavours : Divider Sequences, Classic Euclidean, Revised Euclidean, Anti Euclidean & Split Sequences• User replaceable firmware chipDIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1.

The 1F is a voltage controlled switch, intended to be ‘one friend’ for your sequencer. Its design has been specially focused on working with sequences, by giving them some randomness, applying transpositions or constant variation over time. For this, 0.1% tolerance resistors have been used to achieve exact unitary gains for precision summing of the v/oct signals.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1.

The 4R is a quad random voltage generator in 2HP. It generates two different random stepped voltages per input, each time a rising edge is sensed at TRIG1 or TRIG2. The inputs are independent so they can work at different clock speeds. As TRIG2 is normalled to TRIG1 it is also possible to get 4 random values with just one trigger. The voltage range of each pair of outputs can be set as unipolar (0V to +5V) or bipolar (-5V to +5V).DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-2. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module.
