After what feels like months if not over a year of people requesting more O’Tool oscilloscope modules from Dave Jones Design (no more will be made as the screens are no longer available but they are looking at a version two with a different screen) Mordax announce the DATA module which just blows everything else out of the water. It’s a multifunction power house of a module that features various measurements tools such as an oscilloscope, spectral display and tuner. It goes beyond that with signal generation including dual waveform
generators which are digital
oscillators and a clock source /
divider and multiplier. Importantly
it looks GORGEOUS! Head to
www.mordax.net to check out
more as the website and module
launched recently. The module is
available through a pre-order
system but a full run of modules
will be released and out with
distributors in spring.
It’s got a big flashing knob, what’s not to love! Warps from Mutable Instruments was released out of the blue (literally a day since saying it’s available and stores had them in stock). Although the module has been seen out with testers and details announced for sometime which is very unlike Mutable Instruments who like many companies don’t make so much public until nearer the release. I’ve had the pleasure of testing Warps for the majority of this year and I love it! It’s simple to use and packs in a lot of functionality even in it’s simplest mode the crossfader, you get both a crossfade and two VCAs for the level of each of the signals as well as a summed output unaffected by the functions of the mode you’re in.

I've had the pleasure of having a few good conversations online with Joe Computo from Voltage Control Lab and he's got an excellent new video on Euclidean Rhythms (which I use a lot with the Pamela's Workout module from ALM) as well as a new video on FM kicks with the Roland Aira range.
