The ST Modular Serial is an 8-step analog Eurorack module designed for generating random voltages and gates. It introduces an adjustable CLOCK input that processes any voltage, enabling control over the generation of clock pulses. It also features an internal noise generator, creating random voltages and gates in tandem with the set clock. The module allows for external CV inputs that can mix with the internal noise, controlling the production of random notes.
It provides a series of gate outputs corresponding to each voltage locked to a clock and lets a user manage the level of these outputs with the available AMOUNT knob. Furthermore, the module comes with an ADD or DEL button to manually adjust or remove locked voltages within your sequence. However, for adding a note, the button needs to be pressed in sync with a clock pulse. It allows the adjustment of the sequence step length and includes a RNDM/LOOP button for generating randomness or looping a series.
The ST Modular Serial stands out for its external clock integration and manual notes and gates adjustments. It also features safety measures through a wrong polarity protection feature, ensuring secure user operation.

The article discusses two Eurorack modules: WMD Kraken and Erica Synths Filter Coupler.
The WMD Kraken is a digital snare drum modeling module that facilitates realistic drum sounds through 100% digital synthesis. It employs synthesis blocks such as digital filters, delay, and noise to create a unique drum resonator. It allows users to modify parameters linked to physical drum properties, like shell type, head tightness, overtone amount, and the brightness and tightness of the snares. This module also features digital and analog noise sources, a pitch shifter, three distortion types, and is designed for sequencing with gate inputs for Head, Rim, and Accent.
The Erica Synths Filter Coupler is a module designed to expand the Black VCF filters. It enhances the modules by introducing bandpass and band reject filters, with adjustable center frequency and bandwidth parameters. It maintains the individual operability of the Black VCF filters whilst enhancing the overall performance through voltage control over parameters.
The interplay between these two modules provides a variety of sound design possibilities by combining the versatile snare drum synthesis capabilities of the Kraken module with the expanded filtering options offered by the Filter Coupler.
