Venus Instruments
Looking to add depth and complexity to your Eurorack synthesizer sound? The Veno-Echo is the perfect solution. This powerful stereo digital delay device boasts two separate channels with independent controls for delay time, feedback, and reverse direction. With delay times ranging from Karplus-Strong territory up to 1 minute and feedback up to 110%, you'll have endless possibilities for wild self-oscillation experiments.
In addition to its extensive range of controls, the Veno-Echo also offers a number of unique features. Use the internal modulation to apply a Doppler effect pitch-shift, ranging from subtle vibrato to full-on sea sickness. Or, use the Mod CV input to sculpt your own wobble. And with warm wet line high-pass and low-pass filters, you can tailor the character of your repeats to achieve everything from crystal clear repeats to highly saturated distortion.
But the Veno-Echo isn't just about creating mind-bending soundscapes. It's also incredibly flexible and intuitive, allowing you to generate rhythmic patterns that stay in sync with the rest of your system or dial in a rushing or dragging feel with freely selectable ratios. Whether you're a seasoned sound designer or just getting started, the Veno-Echo is a versatile tool that will inspire your creative freedom and unleash your full potential.

The Veno-Orbit is a dual channel, polyphonic, experimental sampler designed for live recording and manipulation of audio and CV. Record and loop your patch, re-pitch, scrub, jump the play head and crop on the fly, and grab the perfect loop with adjustable cross fade length. Turn your samples into a playable instrument by cross fading between 4 layers, with built-in attack and release envelopes, or trigger one-shot samples polyphonically or via MIDI.
