The praised Avalon not only tries to be an exact-as-possible 303 clone, also it expands the possiblities and amount of features of the bassline in almost every respect. From the sub-oscillator and external input, the enhanced cutoff range, the amount of envelopes, variable slide time, over an arpeggiator, enhanced sequencer up to a plethora of connections and the rock-solid build quality. You can use it like a real 303 but why restricting yourself?

Standard version in black with red LEDs.

Acidlab 8SD is an Eurorack drum module featuring the circuitry of the good old TR-808 snare drum.

Boomtschak - one of the most powerful entirely analog drum voices in Eurorack. As sound sources it uses an oscillator with waveshaper, a filtered noise or the mix of both. Not less than three flexible envelope generators are included, for pitch bending and the amplifiers. The resonant multi-mode filter can be fed with external audio signals instead the noise generator. The module's frequency range is huge, thus allowing for using it as a synthesizer voice.

This digital module is specialized in one effect only: thick, juicy and fantastic chorus, thanks to automatic routing ieven in true stereo. It offers internal modulation, feedback and has two different chorus modes whose slightly different sound you might already know from the Audio Damage plug-ins Fluid and Dimensions.
The module's DSP works with proper 24Bit and 48kHz and also the mechanical quality is rock-solid.

Dub Junior's Mk2 version also is based in the delay algorithms used in the Audio Damage Plug In Dubstation and the old DubJr module but it has been clearly enhanced and improved regarding as well the features as the mechanical quality. It is a delay module with clock synchronization and tap-tempo, 24Bit/48kHz quality, two modes, two timpbres and external feedback loop. A worthy successor to the best-selling, venerable DubJr.

Although the Proton makes for a pretty nice delay its main focus of attention is a type of physical modeling called Karplus-Strong synthesis. It creates percussive sounds which resemple a plucked nylon strong but Proton is able to twist them in a strong way by filtering and by adding noise impulses.

Besides true stereo wave shaping the digital Shapes module offers the possiblity to scan one of 16 interpolated wavetables using audio and CV inputs. To do this you can induct any input signal, from a sine oscillator to an entire stereo sum, whereupon the grade of erosion or destruction rises with the complexity of the audio material.

The Grenadier is a enthralling, semi-modular analog synthesizer with an uncommon sequencer, a keypad, a drone mode and crossmodulation between VCO and the resonant formant filter.
External control is possible by CV and Gate signals only which is the reason why the Grenadier has several 3.5mm sockets.

The Analog Memory is an expansion module for the Pressure Points. It adds five more rows of each four steps of CVs to the Pressure Point.

The DIN Power is a simple and inexpensive solution for distributing power in an external case for eurorack modules.
It uses the power distribution systems of an already existing modular system and sends it to an external case. It is very suitable for building a flat controller case with modules like René, Pressure Points, joystick modules and other haptical controllers.

The Format Jumbler is an adaptor module which converts between 3,5mm (1/8")jacks, 6.3mm (1/4") jacks and banana plugs. Additionally you can use the module as a multiples.

Vactrol multimode filter, based on the core of the discoontinued QMMG. It masters a number of sounds, from resonant acid squelch to percussive lowpass-gate sounds like Buchla bongos you an create simultaneously.

Entire modular system with nine modules from Make Noise. It integrates sound generators, lopass gates, effects, modulation generatros, a haptic controller and a sequencer.
The unique CV-Bus is designed for convenient distribution of CV signals and adds a pre-amp plus stereo output section.
The Shared System can be expanded by further modules as 48HP are non-occupied.

A -24dB per octave steep cascade Moog-style lowpass filter with additional voltage control of resonance.

Although being the smallest 808 clone, the MFB 522 is also one of the best currently on the market. The tiny controls for the many parameters take some time getting used to, but as far as sound is concerned the unit is truly brilliant. Bassdrum, Clap and Toms/Conga can be programmed in two or three variations per pattern.  Finally the price makes this unit a no-brainer.

The Dominion X is MFB´s start into a new class of instruments that have a nice stable metal housing with wooden cheeks but in first place have new interesting features. The Dominion X combines analog synthesis with memory as well as patch points for interfacing with CV gear like modular systems. Three oscillators, a new multimode filter and extensive modulation possibilities for the individual oscillators, the filter and the VCA that can be assigned and set easily by rotary switches and coltrols. All this make the Dominion a flexible analog synthesizer.

In addition to the multimode filter the SED version features a great sounding Roland type low pass filter that can be overdriven.

In comparison to it´s older brother the Kraftzwerg II has a much improved filter, temperature control at the VCOs and a nice new housing from alu and wood. The rest of it´s concept remains unchanged: a semi-modular analog synthesizer with 3 oscillators, 2 LFOs, 2 ADSRs, CV control and MIDI.

The mk2 version is technically identical to the old version but it comes in a nice looking, black anodized metal housing with wooden sides.

The Microzwerg not only bridges the gap between Nanozwerg and Kraftzwerg. Due to its dual multimode-filter, it also offers an individual signal-path with specific sound potential. Microzewrg?s numerous patch connections are perfect for interfacing with other analog synthesizers or sequencers.

Analog snare drum module. The circuitry is from the snare drum of MFBs 503 drum computer but it has been modified and extended with CV inputs for controlling parameters.

Discontinued model, only few left. Sales only as long as sales last.

Analog tom tom module with the sound of the toms from MFB´s own 503 drum computer. Just like on the 503 several parameters can be edited, like tune, pitch, decay and additionally noise.

The Drum-08 Clap is an analog, voltage controlled clap sound generator. Due to the two audio outputs you can use it in stereo, too.

Now MFB offers the Bass Drum of the MFB503 as module for the Euro Rack.

With the OSC-02 MFB offers now also a real analog Oszillator. Like the OSC-01 there are three independent Oszillators under the frontplate. They can be controlled via the same CV 1 or with one CV each. Furthermore the module is equiped with an digital ringmodulator. For each oszillator there is one switch for choosing the waveform.

The module SEQ-1 is a trigger sequencer with 12 tracks and the classic chasing light programming of the Roland TR-series: choose an instrument, set the steps, ready and on to the next one. The 12 trigger outputs don´t have to be used for trighgering drums only, you might as well rhythmically trigger envelopes, Sample&Holds, clock dividers, switches.

The sequencer module SEQ-02 offer twelve tracks for programming trigger sequences and/or CV sequences.

Besides triggering drum modules by MFB and other manufacturers you might as well trigger all modules that accept trigger and gate signals like envelopes, sequencers, SandHs and so on. Furthermore the SEQ-02 can output CVs for sequencing variable parameters.

Es kommt nicht immer auf die Größe an. Der NANOZWERG ist trotz seiner überaus kompakten Abmessungen ein vollwertiger, monofoner Analogsynthesizer. Mit seinem VCO und Suboszillator sowie einem 12-dB-Multimodefilter kann der NANOZWERG vielfältige Bass- und Leadsounds erzeugen. Darüber hinaus lässt sich der NANOZWERG mit seinem Rauschgenerator und über einen externen Audioeingang auch als Effektprozessor einsetzen.

The Mk2 version of the analog sequencer MFB URZWERG PRO now has a nice, stable, black anodized housing with wooden side panels. Technically it´s the same unit as the original Urzwerg Pro.

The s0 is two in one: first a 16Bit sample player with three loop modes and variable sample start and loop point parameters. It reads .wav files from an SD card. Number two is a granular synthesis-based looper with audio input, various loop and trigger modes and reset/PLL-synchronization up to audio ranges.

Digital oscillator with a huge frequency range and the possibility to read your own waveforms in .wav format from a SD card in addition to the internal wave forms. Ultra-stable tracking due to it's digital core make it perfect for FM sounds. Phase and symmetry of the waveforms can be voltage controlled.

All modules from Mungo's Zero series offer a Zoom function to operate all potentiometers (parameter controls and attenuators) with coarse, normal or fine resolution. This is especially super useful for oscillator frequencies and delay times. The Zoom module enables this function.

Contrary to it's name the ROOM is no reverb effect but an enitrely analog audio processor to shape and dynamically modulate the sound and spatial field of a connected stereo reverb by the dynamics of the mono audio source. For modulation duties the ROOM has an envelope follower and an envelope generator that can react to the audio material or to external CV and gate signals.

The TRACK THICKENER is an all analog stereo processor used to drive a stereo or mono source though one of five analog circuits. These SAT circuits transform the density of the sound for the purpose of creative manipulation of its texture and intensity. The SAT section includes wet/dry mix with the ability to saturate all or only the upper or lower frequencies while retaining an unaffected low or high end by utilizing the built in crossover. With flexible crossover routing a frequency dependant saturation is achieved giving the user control over the density, volume, and frequency of the saturated element of the sound. This routing allows a wide range of saturation to be achieved, with the ability to bypass entirely. The SAT section is followed by a VCA used to shape the amplitude envelope of the sound. The VCA features an H-AR envelope with control over depth, trigger hold, attack, and release. Alternative gating is possible with the use of the external trigger input. The VCA can be used to affect the SAT or SATandDRY signals for different mixing options. A passive equalizer follows that allows tone shaping with the smooth characteristics of a passive circuit. The EQ gives the user quick tone shaping over broad bands for effective shaping of the final sound.

Einfach und genial aber vor allem: es funktioniert! Wer als Keyboarder, Percussionist oder DJ  seine laufenden Sequenzer zu human variierendem Tempo oder auch einfach zum DJ-Beat synchronisieren will oder muss, ist mit dem 34oneII-Pedal gut beraten.

Nach einer kurzen Eingewöhnungszeit trifft man die eins und kann auch Temposchwankungen gekonnt abfangen oder aufholen, es werden immer die letzten fünf Taps zur Berechnung des laufenden Tempos benutzt. Wenn man länger als 1 Sekunde auf dem Taster steht, sendet das Pedal auf allen Kanälen einen Stop-Befehl und verbraucht ab sofort nichts mehr von dem Strom der Batterie. Die Lebensdauer des 9V Blocks liegt oberhalb von 50 Stunden.

With the Perc Pro, you can add an acoustic drummer to your setup. In contrast to the counterpart made of flesh and blood, this drum system always plays tight and never gets tired. In addition, Perc Pro doesn’t mind to play everyday items instead of kick, snare, cymbal and so forth. – Bottles, cans or sheets of metal. Lots of stuff works great as a percussion instrument. Simply connect your MIDI or CV / gate equipment and start experimenting. – A great novelty with enormous creative potential!

Nebulæ is an audio sample player or granular oscillator in the Eurorack modular synthesizer format. It uses sound files as the source material for creating loops, melodies, granular clouds, drones, pads and otherworldy textures. It is also capable of acting as a classic keyboard style MIDI sampler/drum sequencer while in one-shot mode.

Version with silver front panel.

As a clone of the open source project CV PAL by Mutable Instruments the Midi 2 CV is in first line fast as lightning, at least with certain computer operating systems. It offers various modes of operation, a range of four octaves and a resolution of less than 2 mV. It connects and is supplied with power via USB only.

The module is a four-fold combination of lowpass filters and/or VCAs. It's functions are extended by three different mix outputs.

Austrian manufacturer Subtle Noise Maker´s new product is a true DRONE MACHINE for thick, beating sounds. With a total of six oscillators and a nice filter very dense endless sounds can be generated.

Handmade electronic music synthesizer, effect pedal and noisebox for creating unique sounds and effects by intuitive handling.  Sound input for weird treatment of samples or whatever input (guitar, bass, radio...).
Also makes noise and distinctive sounds without input as standalone sonic device. Each of the six oscillators affect each other.

Handmade electronic music synthesizer, effect pedal and noisebox for creating unique sounds and effects by intuitive handling. External Audio signals can beprocessed but the Cacophonator can be used as a standalone sonic generator. Six oscillators influencing each other take care of it.

The E340 simultaneously generates eight digital oscillators that can be detuned in relation to each other. The result ranges from soft beatings over supersaw-ish rave pads to organ-like sounds.

Unique wavetable VCO with 2 independent waveform outputs. What sets the E350 apart from previous wavetable oscillators is the voltage-controlled two-dimensional morphing. Sound is really good and clear.

Just like his small brother, the Echo, also the DLY is built around the same semi-digital bucket-brigade IC (PT2399) and thus has a similar character. But it has been improved in a few points, is more useful as a delay and has a dry/wet function now.
Doesn't cost much, sounds metalllic and really good, unless you reach the IC's extreme ranges where interesting artifacts happen. :)
