Hello,

hope you're good and free in about 1 hour to join us for the video premiere happening this evening for the new Cryfder from Dwyfor Tech. It's a dual characterful (built from diodes) VCA that feeds (along with a feedback loop or aux input) into a 1950s micro tube (the cute little thing is only 2.5cm long!) saturating summing mixer stage, the tube is literally the mixer.

The video will premiere at 8pm UK, one hour from this post, the YouTube link shows the time in your location and from then it will just be a normal video to watch back anytime you like.

As well as hanging out in the live chat on YouTube we'll also be heading into Discord for an open video/audio call chat too right after the video (which is about 30 minutes), it's been a while so I'm looking forward to speaking with you. Dan from Dwyfor Tech will be with us for it all though the Discord chat can be any sort of questions / talking points as usual.

I'll be adding more to my website from now and with that in mind there's an interview with Dan from Dwyfor Tech who offers some great insight into the unique and different inspiration and design work he does with his modules. Check out some story time HERE.

And finally on Cryfder to preempt some questions, Dwyfor Tech modules are available direct on Etsy or Reverb as DIY kits or are built to order.

Here's the system used for the demo.

COMING UP

This next week will be a video on the Mehr Music Machines Deuxd and following that the week after will be Decapod Devices & Mega Modular Corp Bathymeter!

And the Best Eurorack of 2025 video will follow that not long after. If you haven't yet PLEASE GO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE 2025 RELEASED EURORACK MODULE ---> HERE <---

As for the rest of the year ... we'll see what comes before 2026, there's a few things in the works and loads of ideas for things to come.

See you in the YouTube live chat, Discord hangout or just Discord in general soon!

I like how you always manage to have very musical patches that are enjoyable to listen to on their own, in addition to their utility for demonstration.
