UDO Audio turns its DMNO hybrid synthesizer into a desktop module, the DMNO ON. It keeps the same 8-voice, bi-timbral binaural engine in a compact box whose controls expand through the ON System and its two optional controllers. Price and availability are still TBA.
Yamaha launches the RUio0804-D, a 1U Dante I/O box with eight mic/line inputs, four outputs and dual redundant network ports. It is built to top up DM3, DM5, DM7 and RIVAGE PM consoles when you are just a few channels short.
Behringer rolls out two 32-mini-key controller-sequencers in the spirit of the Keystep. The Jam is a pure controller, the Jam Play adds 128 sounds and an audio output. A 64-step sequencer, arpeggiator, chords and CV/Gate outputs feature on both.

Point source and line array aren’t two price tiers but two physics of sound radiation. Understanding how each one radiates, throws and covers a room is how you avoid both over-speccing and a system that runs out of steam at the back.
BLEASS turns reverb into a sound-design playground. Spectral Reverb splits the signal into frequency bands, lets you shape decay, attack and width across the spectrum, and adds six spectral processors to freeze, filter or pitch-shift the tail.
Squarp Instruments brings its sequencing smarts to Eurorack in an ultra-slim module. The Core turns MIDI into CV/Gate, scales up with XP32 expanders and packs generative engines that can feed an entire modular system with modulation.
Union Audio takes over the two.valve and four.valve valve rotary mixers previously sold as MasterSounds. Same specs, still handmade in the UK, with the Orbit LE fx range widening the line from below.
