Dnipro x Sinevibes Radiant is a new multi-FX module for Eurorack created by two Ukrainian developers and made in Ukraine.
In September 2023, Dnipro Modular x Sinevibes teased the Radiant stereo FX module. It took a little longer, but it is here just before Christmas.
The Radiant FX module is available now, including the full feature set.
Details
Radiant is a new multi-FX module with a stereo signal path. Unlike many other multi-FX modules, it focuses only on a handful of distinct effects, in this case, six: dub delay, pole phaser, chord wrapper, feedback shifter, distortion, and re-trigger.
The developers promise that they are designed for both familiar and experimental. You can tweak them with the frequency and feedback knobs. In addition to the core algorithms, Dnipro x Sinevibes Radiant provides a built-in reverb, adding space and depth to the sound.
Effect settings can be saved in a preset system that can be recalled in three available slots. One of the module’s highlights is the ability to morph these presets in real-time, expanding the sonic range of these algorithms. For example, you can create evolving and dynamic sounds with it.
Alongside the built-in effects, it also includes an onboard 3-band filter that lets users shape their sound by adjusting the low, mid, and high frequencies. It helps fine-tune the effects or isolate specific frequency ranges.
The sound reverse function is another creative feature of the module. Once activated, you can reverse the audio signal and create backward effects that can be synced to the external clock.
On the connection side, it has a stereo in and out on mono jacks, a clock input, and CV inputs for modulating each parameter, including the individual filters.
At first glance, a great multi-FX module. It may not offer many effects, but the ability to morph presets is very exciting and opens up the path for new sonic results. From the first demos, the module sounds excellent.
Dnipro x Sinevibes Radiant is available now for $380 + shipping.

Article From September 30, 2023
The Ukrainian developer Sinevibes is known to many for its variety of excellent sounding and innovative effects plugins. Hardware lovers, probably from the numerous Korg oscillator and FX plugins for the NTS-1, minilogue xd, and prologue synthesizers.
Sinevibes DSP code can also be found in the synthesizers from the Greek company Dreabox—a lot in the Typhon, a joint project. The algorithms will soon also be available in Eurorack. Sinevibes has teamed up with another Ukrainian developer Dnipro Modular and has jointly developed a new multi-fx module. Konstantin (Dnipro) is presenting the Radiant module at Machina Bristronica today.
Dnipro x Sinevibes Radiant
I haven’t received an official feature set yet, but Peter from CDM has already chatted with Konstantin. According to its article:
it’s a stereo effect processor with the core idea of having several complex effect patches (modes). For now, it’s still in development, so currently, we have only three patches on board: frequency shifter, pitch shifter stereo delay, and vibrant phaser/chorus effect.
There are also delay to stereo effect in plans and some space for the future updates and new creative patches. The panel will have a knob per function control for instance interaction. Some controls will be similar per patch, like filters and saturation f.e., and some will depend on patch. All parameters will be cv-able of course.
So, in short, it’s a new hands-on stereo multi-FX module with different Sinevibes algorithms, including delay, filtering, pitch and frequency shifting, distortion, chorus, and more. Artemiy from Sinevibes also told CDM that they’ve built a new stereo delay algorithm that can cross-fade between delay times. That’s sound interesting.
A look at the front panel reveals where the journey is headed. It’s all very cosmic and sci-fi. You get parameters like saturn, orbit, space, time, feedback, etc. It also has built-in high-pass and and lowpass filters for shaping the effect.
On the connection side, you get a stereo input and output on mono sockets and CV control over all parameters, including a clock input. A nice extra info: the module is made in Ukraine. So the circle closes: not just made by two Ukrainian developers but also where they have their roots.
First Impression
A very exciting new multi-FX module for Eurorack. Especially knowing that Sinevibes is known for very high-quality algorithms. I still want the Korg Logue platform to be officially launched as a Eurorack module so that such algorithms can be used in modular. This is currently only possible via mods. At least, we can explore soon Sinevibes FX in Eurorack with the new Radiant module. That’s great news.
Dnipro Modular availability and price TBA.

Not gonna lie, looks like a Behringer module. Sure it’s great thouhh
I thought the exact same thing
Nice, Sinevibes stuff is awesome, will look forward to seeing this get further developed.
Just bought this module. though its price, this is one of the best purchase I have done. Really the class of Hi End FX like those in Eventide, Strymon, really good filters and CV control over everything. Always really simple and musical.
