Nordic Audio Labs launch new NU-100K The latest iteration of the NU-100K has been upgraded with Nordic Audio Labs' proprietary FloFET circuitry, a move which is said to deliver a warmer, valve-like sound. 

Sequential Fourm The Sequential Fourm draws its sonic character from two of Sequential's most revered instruments: the legendary Prophet-5 and the classic Pro-One mono synth. It's built with a focus on a hands-on, knob-per-function workflow that harks back to the golden age of analog synthesis. The synth features a 100% analog signal path, from its two oscillators (with selectable sawtooth, pulse, and triangle waveforms on OSC B) to the classic Prophet-style 4-pole resonant low-pass filter with bass compensation. An analog VCA completes the voice architecture, providing the warmth and punch that is the signature of the Sequential sound. A standout feature of the Sequential Fourm is its newly developed "Tactive" slim-key keybed, which includes polyphonic aftertouch. This expressive control allows for nuanced performance gestures, enabling musicians to modulate multiple notes independently after they are pressed, unlocking a new level of creative expression. The synth also features a Pro-One-inspired modulation matrix on the top panel, putting deep sound design at the user's fingertips without the need for menu diving. Users can easily route modulation sources like the filter envelope, OSC B, and LFO to various destinations with the push of a button and color-coded indicators for quick visual feedback. The Fourm includes a multimode arpeggiator with a step sequencer mode, a feedback circuit for adding a gritty, driven sound, and a unison mode for stacking up to four voices for a thicker, more powerful sound. With 128 world-class presets and a robust, all-steel chassis, the Sequential Fourm is positioned as an accessible yet high-quality analog synthesizer for a new generation of musicians. Features: Polyphony: 4-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer. Oscillators: Two authentic analog oscillators per voice with simultaneously selectable waveforms (sawtooth and pulse on OSC A, sawtooth, pulse, and triangle on OSC B). Filters: Classic 4-pole resonant low-pass filter with bass compensation. Modulation: Pro-One-inspired top-panel modulation matrix with dedicated buttons and color-coded indicators for intuitive routing. Envelopes: Two ADSR envelopes. LFO: One syncable multi-wave LFO. Arpeggiator/Sequencer: Multimode arpeggiator with a 64-step polyphonic sequencer. Keyboard: 37-note slim-key "Tactive" keybed with velocity and polyphonic aftertouch. Unison: Unison mode for stacking up to four voices. Additional Features: Analog VCA, white noise generator, feedback circuit, and 128 user presets. https://youtu.be/vMyuN-vp_nI Read More
