The Nekyia Circuits Sosumi is a Eurorack-style dual low-pass gate module, heavily influenced by the Buchla 292. The module offers two separate non-resonant circuits that employ custom, handcrafted vactrols—a combination of an LED light source and a photoresistor—allowing for simultaneous control of input signal amplitude and frequency. This particular design is primarily known for its ability to generate organic percussive sounds.
The uniqueness of the Sosumi comes from its vactrols. Each one is handcrafted, resulting in slight response variations among them and amplifying the uniqueness of each channel. As a result, each Sosumi module offers a virtually different sonic signature.
The Sosumi’s dual low-pass gate design proves crucial in sound modulation, granting versatility in managing and manipulating frequencies. This results in the ability to create a plethora of diverse sounds. The module goes a step further by accentuating organic, rich percussive tones in audio inputs with substantial harmonic content.
One standout feature of Sosumi is its ‘ping’ input, enabling you to strike the vactrol gate – adding percussive accents that add dynamism to your soundscape and connect more significantly with the audience.
Lastly, the Sosumi module’s detailed handmade design underlines its organic, rich, and percussively potent sound. The dual low-pass gate, coupled with the sonic variability of custom vactrols, becomes a conduit for musical exploration beyond mere boundaries.

The text discusses five distinct Eurorack modules.
The Bog by After Later Audio is a module featuring random audio frequency and CV outputs, plus clock-syncing capabilities. It can provide unpredictable rhythmic and melodic elements to a Eurorack setup.
The Trinity, by Bastl Instruments, is a versatile modulation hub supplying automation and CV inputs. It allows for complex modulation routing, making it a powerful tool for shaping sounds.
The Error Instruments Passive Operator is a drum synthesizer that doesn’t require external power. It produces experimental sounds and offers customizable compartments for sound sculpting.
The uGrids by CalSynth is a compact micro variant of Mutable Instruments Grids, providing grid-based sequencing in an 8HP module. It can generate rhythmic patterns dynamically.
The Shakmat Modular Triple Steeple is a three-channel envelope generator offering various modes, CV control and internal normalizations. It allows users to produce intricate modulation signals, playfully manipulating the amplitude dynamics of the audio signal.
Each module offers unique features that, when combined, can create a wide range of sound possibilities in a Eurorack system.
