Surprise Spring Sale!

Yep, you read that right - today we’re launching a week-long flash sale with 10% off absolutely anything currently in stock on the website. Don’t say we’re not good to you!

We have even better discounts of 20% and 50% off selected products, and we’ll spotlight some of these on social over the next few days. So make sure you’re following us on Instagram (if you’re not already) to get the heads-up.

Also, just a note that while the sale’s on, we’ve temporarily disabled the use of any other discount codes - just in case you’re wondering where the box has gone at the checkout! And do bear with us if it takes slightly longer than usual to dispatch your order, as we’ll be dealing with a much higher volume than normal. We don’t do sales very often but we have too many modules on the shelf and coming up very soon is an event where LOTS of new modules will be released and basically something has to give……

So basically it’s all go here in Glasgow as the foreshadowed Superbooth season draws ever nearer, and the shop is a hive of activity right now. Read on to find out about some super-useful Eurorack modules, a unique joystick-laden synth, a stunning desktop sampler, a brilliant book and much more.

Until next time,

What’s hot

Super Synthesis is a new Eurorack brand for the store. These are great-looking, no-nonsense modules with brilliant functionality and seriously competitive pricing. Highlights include the 2OPFM - a digital FM voice with attitude - and the SVFs dual filter, and the rest of the range includes VCAs, sequencers, envelopes and crossfaders. Check ‘em out!

What’s better than a joystick on a synth? How about FOUR joysticks on a synth? Throw in a cool touch keyboard and a gazillion modulation routing possibilities and you’ll be in stick-twiddling heaven with this hybrid digital/analogue bad boy. The Vectra is in stock and shipping now.

Fresh off the production line from Berlin’s AtoV Project are this complex dual LFO with a built-in ring modulator and a pair of matrixable mixers: smart, space-efficient modulation and mixing utilities that are sure to find a home in just about any Eurorack rig. Check out DivKid’s videos on cLFO and MMx2 for more info and patch ideas.

One of the most eagerly awaited devices in recent memory, this little box might look like a toy, but don’t let its cute looks deceive you. Under the hood, Chompi is a powerful stereo sampling engine with expressive multi-effects and a varispeed tape-style looper. And for all the content creators out there, it will definitely turn heads in your tasteful Instagram jams!

Two brilliant new modules from the 4ms powerhouse, built on an identical platform. The Catalyst Sequencer is a unique 8-channel sequencer where you can scrub through the sequence using the crossfader. The Catalyst Controller is a macro controller with 8 CV outputs, where the crossfader morphs between scenes. And you can turn one into the other by flipping the faceplate - smart!

The mighty Omri Cohen, the man behind some of YouTube’s finest modular and VCV Rack tutorials, has compiled this lovely full-colour ring-bound book containing 50 recipes for exploring composition, technique and sound with Eurorack and beyond. Chef’s kiss!

Restocks and B-stocks

We’ve had a big restock from AJH Synth, so if you want to build yourself a Moog-style modular rig we’ve got all the bits you’ll need. We’ve also had some big deliveries from our friends at Arturia - including a host of KeyLab MIDI controllers in all sizes and colours.

Don’t forget to check our new dedicated B-stock section on the site, where you can bag some great one-off deals. Lots of these are basically as new, just with an opened box. Right now we’ve got stuff from brands including Moog, Waldorf, OTO and Genelec.
