The Melody Mill – A Fun Note Generation Module For Eurorack Modular Synths – Synthtopia

synthtopia.com

The Critter & Guitari Melody Mill spices up any Eurorack setup with its fun note generation and versatile features like built-in arpeggiators, MIDI capabilities, and a sequencer. However, its lack of a ribbon cable is a glaring oversight, especially at a $360 price point. The reliance on a 5-volt operation and the absence of din sync might frustrate some users, and the clicky gate output demands a fast VCA. Despite these drawbacks, the Melody Mill remains a playful addition for modular enthusiasts, but be prepared for some workarounds.
