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 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.
