I really like this module and use it as my "return" when I connect pedals to my eurorack. I've had a few send/return modules but now prefer to keep the send and return processes separate. Unless you change the external source regularly, this is kinda a set-and-forget module and I prefer those to be small, which this is. All you have to do is connect your cables and set the gain. There is an level/peak/overload LED which is useful. Sound wise, I don't hear any distortion or artefacts. It's not a sexy module but it does the job expected perfectly well.

I make music on my PC so this module is the most important and usable in my setup. Everything is great about this module. At first I thought it's overpriced, but one I received it I realized that it might be even underestimated. Lots of options to control your eurorack patches along with perfect quality and handling gave me the most positive emotions out of all my modules. Easily the best PC+Eurorack module out there. It's only difficult to upgrade, but it works without any issues the way I got it.

Awesome idea and functionality, however not perfect at the moment (Dec 2019). USB connectivity can drop at certain situations, sync isn't rock solid, lights on module bleed heavily into surrounding buttons so sometimes not clear to see the activity - however, very promising that this will be improved and then this is easily a 5 star module - highly configurable, deep features and ability to use USB and MIDI DIN at the same time. Go for it if you are daring, since it is already highly useable, but be warned. *update With bugs fixed and a great configurator tool released, this is a stellar module! Timing is tight, it is easy to switch and create profiles, cv response is tight, timing is great. Additional features like AUX A and B for clocking and MIDI transport are well warranted

I was looking for a CV to MIDI converter for a purpose of driving some video art from my modular during live performances. An added benefit is it is fully enabled USB MIDI device, you don't need a MIDI interface to connect to a computer. Less cables more fun! And it works with any DAW. It was a lot of fun to sequence VST drums from my Trigger Riot. What can I say, this module works perfectly fine. It's much more snappier than alternatives from Doepfer. Of course pitch tracking is a bit flaky, but that's expected and it still works very good. It's not a minus, but something to know about. I also tried it to sync external MIDI gear and clock tracking worked just fine. The only minor problem I had was lack of soloing for a specific MIDI signal. It would make it much easier to use with...

This is an exceptionally well designed module; very easy to set up but very powerful under the hood. It's hard to imagine a MIDI setup that this module couldn't deal with. It has worked like a dream for me, and has enabled me to map my MIDI controllers to control my Eurorack modules, enabling me to combine the best of both worlds. MIDI to CV, or CV to MIDI, it works both ways. The LEDs are a particularly nice touch, giving feedback on what is going on in terms of inputs and outputs. A really fantastic module, I have only praise for it.

I have the 2 modules of the multicore on opposite ends of one 178 HP rack, so I do not need to have a lot of cables going across the rack. The 2 CAT6 cables connecting the multicores run behind the rack (3 meters, not the short ones supplied with the units). It really helps clean up cable clutter and thus have more space for my hands to actually turn knobs on the modules. Downsides are, that there is a light crosstalk between the channels (which you only here if you connect a cable from an unused channel to a mixer and crank up the volume) and that the cables going in / out of the multicore are bunched up really tight together.

I initially bought this module to bring microphones and guitars up to eurorack levels. But I have now discovered that this module offers so much more. For starters the mini mult on the audio out is most welcome as I very often want to route the signal to more than one place (saving my multiples for other signals in the patch). The envelope follower is also surprisingly useful routed to an amp, filter or to control an aspect of a wave multiplier or vocoder are my most common choices. I can derive interesting rhythms from an external drum machine and use the gate threshold as a performance control to change the rhythm. The LEDs also offer useful indication of the overdrive, envelope follower and gates (and we all like flashing lights!) There is only one slight criticism I would have, the...

If you’re familiar with the Empress Effects Zoia pedal then the Euroburo will be instantly familiar - it’s the Eurorack modular version of the Zoia. It lets you build effects, sequencers and CV processing by placing modules on the grid of pads. Multiple pages lets you build complex patches, and the Zoia can access 64 patches at a go. You can load and save patches onto an included SDcard. Best part; hundreds of user-contributed patches are available on patch-storage.com. This is a large module, at 34hp you’ll need space in your case for it. It packs a lot in though, including MIDI sequencing, MIDI control of patches, CV input and output, and a virtual version of every Eurorack module you’re already familiar with (VCA, LFO, mult, logic gates etc)

This module made a nice addition to my Behringer System 100 rack setup. Everything worked as designed save a few issues: 1. The Behringer Synthtribe 2.5.7 app constantly crashed and was unusable for configuring the CM1A. Going back to Synthtribe 2.5.5 worked perfectly. I reported the issue to Behringer so perhaps it will be rectified in the next release. 2. The scaling on the CM1A was terrible out of the box. It was unable to play two octaves in tune. This can be corrected using the calibration portion of the Synthtribe 2.5.5 app, but there are no instructions for this and Behringer support appear to be unaware this feature even exists. There is an incomplete diagram on the calibration page for the hookup to your DMM (you need a quality DMM with at least 3 decimal places of accuracy) and...

I know the principle from this module from the Perfourmer synth of Vermona, and so I was als oexcited to see I could build my own rotating osccilator poly synth thanks to this quad midi. It's not the cheapest interfac,e but certainly one of the better ones if you ask me. It offers plenty of feautures, and is well designed and built , as you would expect from Vermona. I do think the module is a bit large, and compared to ie. the Yarns from Mutable, it takes up much space in your rack, but it's certainly worth it. it is very easy and straightforward in use, and I like switching modes often during sessions, which is no hassle to do.
