"Introducing ARCAICO STIGMA in its Eurorack version. ⚡️

We are also in the final stages of developing a Desktop version, specifically designed to interface natively with guitars, synthesizers, and drum machines, expanding integration possibilities beyond classic modular systems.

STIGMA is a powerhouse of pure energy, engineered to push your sound into sonic landscapes that defy the ordinary. 🌌

The sound you've been searching for is about to take shape."

"Deep within the temple, the gears have started turning again. Something organic is growing among the metal ruins: the biomechanical nest for the next Arcaico creature.

This set was entirely handmade, shaping raw materials to give depth to a universe that takes no shortcuts. No CGI, no AI. Just stop-motion, patience, and fingers stained with concrete.

The journey has just begun. Are you ready to see what hides in the shadows?

Set components:

Concrete and plaster

Polystyrene and cardboard

Electronic scrap material"

SYNTH ANATOMY

Arcaico Matrioska is a new creative 6-channel stereo mixer and VCA module with CV-controllable panning, crossfading, and more.

28/10/2025

NOW AVAILABLE!

MATRIOSKA is a modular VCA mixer
designed as a layered structure:
each level hides and reveals another.
Six independent channels, each with its own identity,
intertwine in mono or stereo configurations,
building ever-changing soundscapes.

The first four channels include CV-controllable panners,
allowing you to sculpt the space and create
dynamic movements between outputs.
Pairs 1+2 and 3+4 can act as independent
crossfaders or as internal sub-mixes,
while each channel remains free to exist independently
through its own direct output.

The final stereo output (L/R) brings all the voices together
into a single form. When used in mono,
the L output automatically sums the signal,
transforming Matrioska into a flexible node that
can be adapted to any configuration of your system.

Within each sound, another sound.

Finally, we at Arcaico are ready to present our stereo VCA mixer.
Matrioska is not just a mixer, it's so much more!
We will soon add all the information, price and availability.

We love you all.

Arcaico Instruments Gladio is a new 10HP dual-function generator with various modes and modulatable envelopes and slopes.

16/09/2025

GLADIO is a dual generator of modulatable envelopes and slopes,
inspired by the great classics of modular synthesis but
reinterpreted according to Arcaico's vision.
Each envelope is a blade that sculpts time, a malleable
flow that can become an envelope,
a low-frequency oscillator, a complex shape generator or an
interactive modulator. The name GLADIO
recalls the ancient weapon, a symbol of precision and power.

OPERATING MODE:
AR (Attack-Release)
The envelope starts with the trigger and follows the attack and
release curve.
It is not affected by the gate duration.
ASR (Attack-Sustain-Release)
The envelope remains ‘high’ as long as the input gate remains active.
When the gate is released, the decay phase begins.
CYCLE
Transforms the generator into an LFO oscillator variable from
0.2 ms to 23 minutes.
Ideal for slow modulations or audio-rate oscillations.
FUZE
Envelope B follows Envelope A with a 90° phase shift.
Create quadrature modulations useful for stereo effects,
timbre rotations and complex patterns.
EOC (End of Cycle)
Output that triggers on each completed cycle.
Can be used to synchronise other modules or to auto-trigger the envelope
SUM OUT.
use this output to mix the two envelopes and
create new textures for your envelopes.
