A must-have for generative sequencing and complex rhythmic patterns.
Pros
- Excellent signal routing flexibility with its triple-area design.
- Compact 6HP footprint maximizes space in dense modular racks.
- Simple CV summation offers straightforward voltage mixing.
Cons
- Limited to gate/trigger signals – no audio processing capabilities.
- Area coupling switch can be a bit fiddly for complex routings.

This little box handles two different voltage levels and lets you dial gain or attenuation on each side. The LED lights tell you when things are working, and its small footprint fits tight cases. It's great for tweaking signals without needing extra gear.
Pros
- Dual independent signal paths for flexible routing
- Adjustable gain ranges boost weak signals effectively
- Built-in status LEDs show module health clearly
Cons
- No input impedance or voltage range specified
- Shallow 32 mm depth limits some patch cables

The Sopot is a seriously useful little module for anyone wanting to consolidate multiple signals. The soft clipping is a real sonic highlight, adding warmth and character without harshness. Perfect for sound designers and modular explorers wanting to clean up and creatively combine complex audio sources.
Pros
- Excellent soft clipping adds pleasing harmonic richness.
- Normalization options provide flexible routing and signal shaping.
- Compact 6U footprint maximizes rack space efficiency.
Cons
- Limited input count per channel may restrict complex mixes.
- No attenuators on individual inputs for finer gain control.
-
The Ostrawa is a beautifully designed and sonically transparent stereo mixer. It's a fantastic centerpiece for complex modular setups, especially those emphasizing spatial audio and dynamic control—perfect for ambient soundscapes, experimental electronic music, or anyone needing pristine stereo summing. It's a high-end component that truly elevates a modular system’s sonic potential.
Pros
- Exceptional stereo imaging due to careful circuit design.
- Aux sends provide flexible routing for external effects.
- CV control over level and balance enables dynamic mixing possibilities.
Cons
- 20HP footprint can be limiting in smaller modular systems.
- Lacks EQ or tone shaping capabilities, purely a mixer.
