Voltage Modular Jamuary! Bargains on Breakout Bundles and Modules!

The Season Spectacular may be over, but Voltage Modular developers continue a winter storm of inventive new releases, updates, and sales! Here are some of the latest innovations since the beginning of the year, and keep an eye on the list of Brand New Voltage Modular Modules and Bundles in the Cherry Audio store.

Aarnville

  • Poly Latch - When active it holds all the played notes - great for hands-free arpeggios. The perfect partner for Aarpo.

Adroit Synthesis

  • Granular Synth - a new demo video for their popular module that works with pre-recorded audio files or input captured using an integrated recording facility.

Cyberwerks Heavy Industries

JKPhobic

  • Sample Swarm - the version 2 update is a near-complete overhaul of the entire module and total rewrite of the documentation is available.

  • Remotely Reckless Randomizer - This new and free module learns other modules' controls and then randomizes their values when triggered.

Nrgzr78

  • QUAD QUANTIZER - converts a continuous control voltage in the range 0/+10V into a stepped output voltage in the same voltage range.

Playertron

  • Drastic Action Equalizer - DJ-style cut EQ/filter with a pair of EQs with a crossfader to morph between settings, modulatable via envelopes or LFOs, and equipped for mono/stereo/polyphonic signal paths.

  • Pulse-Counting Actuator - Count pulses and use that count to get output gates, triggers, quantized pitch CV, and control voltages.

  • Trigger Player & TET Version with Calculator Bundle - For creating triggered drumsets, gated sample melodies, stretched oddities, looped beats, and calculated harmonies, this bundle connects the dots between sampling and modular synthesis.

PoohBear

Request for Music just launched a promotion discounting a number of RFM modules until Valentine's Day, including the oscillator modules 2VCO, TAO, and JOTNAR and the effects modules RFM_DELAY and RFM_REVERB.

R_Ware

  • HarmClip - the ultimate soft clipper module for shaping and enhancing the harmonics of your audio, with advanced oversampling up to 32x and minimal aliasing.

  • pClip - an anti-aliased high-quality clipping module with the ability to shape and control the sound of your audio with precision.

  • hClip - a powerful sound design tool that gives you unparalleled control over hard clipping.

  • New modules for the free R_Ware X Airwindows bundle: AW_ToneSlant and AW_Dubly.

R_Ware has also released R_OpenLib for developers, providing open sourced parts of their DSP library as MIT licensed (for private and commercial projects). First up are Oversampling, Upsampling, and Downsampling classes, with more to come in the future.

Vulpus Labs

  • Vulpus Labs S-Series 1-4 - a new bundle containing the first four ("and a bit") modules from Vulpus Labs, including the new...

  • Swirl - a polyphonic source-of-chaos which emits two correlated randomly-drifting values per polyphonic channel.

  • Swirl Mini - like Swirl, but does not draw the multi-coloured plots in a visual scope.

  • Spree 1.1 Update - update for their polyphonic chorus effect

Waverley Instruments

  • GIGSWITCH-8 - a switchable 8 channel stereo effects chain module with 8 cross-fadeable “scenes” and support for CV trigger switching.

  • MIDIMOD4 - a MIDI CC “modulation station” utility for your MIDI-controllable Voltage Modular instruments and effects. Modulate up to four parameters with dedicated LFOs and ASR envelopes via a single virtual MIDI cable connection!

  • MIDIMONO POLYFUN BUNDLE - Everything needed to create a virtual 8 voice MIDI polysynth using the MIDIMONO module controlled via MIDI POLYSPLIT. Alternatively, drive multiple MIDIMONOs from your sequencer, with each assigned to a separate MIDI channel via MIDISPLITCH. Finally, mix up to 8 channels of stereo audio with MINIMIX8, or its little brother, MINIMIX4.

  • QUADELAY update - two stereo pairs of delays with mathematically related time divisions, now updated to extend base delay time up to 32 seconds (previously 8) and adding a new FREEZE mode.

  • MIDIMONO updates - the MIDI-controlled dual-oscillator monosynth module has been updated to add support for MIDI CC #64 (sustain/hold), envelope times extended to 60 seconds (previously 30), and max delay time is now increased to 8 seconds. In addition, selection of parameters has been optimized for performance to almost sample-rate accuracy, including mod wheel assignments, filter cutoff, envelope amount and resonance, sub, noise, glide and VCO 1/2 mix.
