Renowned synthesizer developer Waldorf Music has unveiled a new ‘Eurorack Pack’ self-contained modular synth system to complement the already available nw1 Wavetable Module launched last year. Meet the dvca1, comp1, and the mod1.
The dvca1 Dual VCA Module is built around two VCAs with a wide range of options including the most important one: the ability to musically colour the signal. Starting in dry mode, you get high-precision analog amplification.
The comp1 Compressor Module is a high-end analogue compressor that not only adds punch to your signal, but it also can be modulated in intriguing and unconventional ways. Features include attack and release controls, automatic and manual modes, hard and soft knee as well as output gain and bleed amount of the original signal.
The mod1 Module features three different modulation sources in one module making it the control center for your modular patch.
From simple envelopes and LFOs to complex looped multi-stage curves, the mod1 delivers rich and endless modulation options based on pure analogue circuitry.
Waldorf KB37 | Modular Keyboard + Eurorack Enclosure
Waldorf rolled out another compact instrument this year. The kb37 is a rugged performance instrument perfect for both studio and stage. It can house up to 100 HP of modules in its angled panel located above on top the high-quality Fatar TP9 keyboard. This new instrument features a 16-bit CV interface, programmable MIDI channels, a full-size 37-note keyboard that transmits velocity and aftertouch, control elements such as pitch and mod wheels, and is compact making it easy to transport.
