Musician-Designed
Each module in the collection was born out of creative need and inspired by performance demands.
Hand-Built
An instrument should have a soul. What better way to impart that energy than with human touch, and attention to detail?
Hand-Calibrated
Accuracy matters but it takes time. That's time well spent when you want to put quality instruments in artists hands.
Performance-Tested
Quality assurance goes beyond a multi-meter. It's about touch, feel, and playability in a performance environment.

'Arp Of Darkness'

Nocturne Alchemy Platform - Free Swappable Firmwares
The Arp Of Darkness is an arpeggiator with a unique twist: It's designed to create dynamic and evolving note sequences by utilizing a buffer approach similar to a Turing Machine or Shift Register. Unlike traditional arpeggiators, which typically play chords as individual notes in a predefined pattern, this module allows you to enter notes sequentially into a buffer of variable length, (from 3 up to 16 notes) and play it back using 6 playback modes more commonly found in arpeggiators. (Forward, Backward, Exclusive Pingpong, Inclusive Pingpong, Golden Ratio, and Random).
  • Height: 1U (Intellijel format)
  • Width: 26HP
  • Depth: 40mm ("Skiff-friendly")
  • 4 octaves of control from C0 to C4
  • 6 note buffer lengths (3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 16)
  • 6 playback modes (Forward, Backward, Exclu Pingpong, Inclu Pingpong, Golden Ratio and Random) with cyclce select, direct select, (queued & immediate) and reset
  • Clock input and CV out calibrated to 1V/0
  • Calibration mode with tuning for each note across 4 octaves (Comes pre-calibrated)

About Us

Who are we? Well, at FlatSix Modular, "we" is just me... For now, anyway. Hi. My name is Sean. I am a lifelong creative, musician, taker-apart-of-things, and curious explorer. I have always been obsessed with making music, and fascinated by the tools which people around the world have chosen to do the same since the dawn of history. Early in life, as I was studying the discipline of musicology, music was broadly defined for me as "Humanly organized sound." Such a wide-open definition. So many possibilities. It shaped me, and my approach to music, and opened my mind to the thought that literally ANYTHING could be a musical instrument. That began my personal journey of collecting instruments from around the world, and eventually, building my own. Once I discovered the Eurorack community, I never looked back. Now it's my turn to offer up my creations to the community that inspired me. That's what this is all about.
