Make Noise has announced two new Eurorack modules - PrssPnt and Ch. Svr. They say that the PrssPnt music synthesizer module is a controller in which several signals are generated by touching the printed copper wire at the bottom of the instrument and that the Ch. Svr music synthesizer module is a small utility module, offering several channels of signal-processing that will be useful in just about any modular system. Here's the details in their own words...
PrssPnt
Touching PrssPnt, you become part of the circuit, generating a total of four simultaneous signals (two CV, two Gate).
The basic function of PrssPnt will be familiar to anyone who has used Pressure Points or 0-CTRL. It could be seen as a single "souped-up" channel of one of these devices. Since it is a single channel, the tuned voltage outputs are not relevant, and instead are replaced with more playable sensitivity controls and alternate pressure and gate outputs.
• Momentary Gate output remains high as long as it is being pressed
• Toggled Gate output goes high and low with each successive press of the plate: press it to make it go high, press it again to make it go low
• Pressure output generates a positive control signal proportional to the amount of Pressure applied, further tailored by the Sensitivity Panel Control
• Smooth Touch Function recreates the useful patch of sending a Pressure Output through a carefully tuned slew limiter for extended function generation
• Turning up the Slew amount will allow for larger than life functions with very long decay to be generated by hand.
• All four outputs available simultaneouslySpecs:

0mA @-12V
30mm depth (incl. power cable)
Ch. Svr
As a condensation/extension of the sum/offset/attenuversion aspects of MATHS, the Ch. Svr music synthesizer module continues the great tradition of sculpting the control signals we use to sculpt our sound signals.
• Scale, amplify, attenuate, or invert an incoming signal using Channels 1 or 2
• Generate DC offsets when Channel 1 or 2 is unpatched
• Crossfade between two signals, or attenuate one signal, using Channel 3
• SUM and INVerted Sum Bus for addition, subtraction, mirroring, inversion etc.
• Individual Channel Outputs for Channels 1 and 2 allow independent use of all three channels
• Anywhere you need more subtle modulation, Ch. Svr is there for you... now all your eurorack slivers may have subtle and intentional modulation they deserve!Specs:
