Hi @dianus. Mangu Díaz is a lifelong friend. I know him very well, he’s great musician and restlessly creative. As he got into diying modules he also started customizing and designing his own modules looking for his own needed features. So he finally founded Tesseract with the goal of offering these ideas in the lowest possible cost. You know, modular is expensive and he wanted his modules to be very affordable, in terms of direct cost and HP as well. He focus on mods of existing modules he liked, or completely non-existent ideas.
For Radioactive he teamed up with Sinisa Kekez, who apparently pushed its Atmega (not STM32 MCU) to its maximum potential. It’s a lo-fi digital piece with lot of charms. I’m not huge fan of lo-fi digital stuff, but this little thing captivated me. I mean, that polyphony, liveness and control in 6 HP! That’s going to be my next build for sure. Listen to this, it’s so sweet:
FranKinksTides is a very interesting recreation of 2 Tides and part of a Kinks. I am building this right now. His TexMix modules allow for custom configuration of a mixer with pan, pre-post sends, mute, cue, stereo or mono channels, VC vactrol gate.
His 8x8 matrix is a great utility. You can have different signals in (gates, pitch CV, audio) and choose which of them you want to feed each output with. I use it to have my sequence and trigger generation sources available to send to different sound sources, being able to feed a sequence of pitch with different gates generations. Pretty essential in my current workflow. I’m going to build my second one (he’s working on a 12x12 one now though).
And he told me about his last finished design: his own version of 16n aka faderbank, with CV inputs added, so the 16 faders will act as CV faders, 10v manual generators, MIDI controllers (usb and minijack), CV to MIDI CC converters (+/-5v or +10v), and… it can talk to monome 
I know that I sound like a grandma, but I’m very proud of my friend, ok?
