The NANO Modules ARC is a seriously clever little module for any modular synth enthusiast looking to add flexible modulation. It’s a great option for sound designers and experimental musicians who want to sculpt complex envelopes and LFOs without needing a ton of space. This is a fantastic workhorse for adding character and movement to your patches.
Product Description
- NANO Modules ARC
- Eurorack Module
- Analogue dual function generator and modulator
- Each channel can function as an envelope generator (AD or ASR)
- LFO or VCO with variably adjustable waveform
- voltage-controlled slew limiter and more
- Rise and fall time adjustable per channel (selectable time range: 0.5 ms - 7 min)
- Freely adjustable curve for rise and fall segment (exponential via linear to logarithmic)
- Adjustable offset (-5 V to +5 V) and attenuator/polariser with CV input per channel
- Loop mode with gate input
- Per channel: signal input
- trigger input
- CV inputs for rise & fall
- exponential CV input
- signal output and gate outputs for rise and fall phase
- Logic outputs for OR
- Sum and X>Y
- LED status indicators
- Power requirement: 150 mA (+12 V) / 130 mA (-12 V)
- Width: 24 HP
- Depth: 40 mm
PROS
- • Incredibly versatile dual-functionality allows for complex modulation shaping.
- • Wide slew rate adjustment offers everything from subtle fades to aggressive clicks.
- • The logarithmic curve control adds unique and organic envelope shaping possibilities.
- • Logic outputs provide creative routing options for intricate modular patches.
CONS
- • 24HP footprint might be restrictive for smaller Eurorack cases.
- • Steep learning curve for users unfamiliar with envelope/LFO modulation concepts.
- • Limited waveform options compared to dedicated VCOs or LFOs.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Maths is more comprehensive with multiple envelopes, but the ARC’s dual functionality and curve control offer unique modulation possibilities that Maths lacks.
Absolutely, it's perfectly capable of basic LFO duties, but its strengths lie in its more complex modulation capabilities.
They’re genuinely useful for creating complex inter-module relationships, allowing for advanced gating and triggering sequences beyond simple OR/AND functionality.
