End-of-life for THAT arrays
THAT Corporation, makers of analog audio chips, last month announced "end of life" for some of their best-known products, including the THAT320 transistor arrays that are critical components in the MSK 013 Middle Path VCO. I still have both assembled and kit versions of the Middle Path module in stock, and enough chips to maybe do one more production run, but there is no easy way to substitute for the THAT320 chip, and my expectation is to discontinue the module once my supplies run out.

New year, new directions
As I discussed in my most recent email newsletter, it is time for me to phase out selling Eurorack modules as my main business. In 2025 I sold roughly the number of modules per month that I would need to sell per day to be able to make a living. I'm surviving on other, more profitable, parts of my business, and using those to subsidize Eurorack module manufacturing as what comes down to an expensive hobby that I can't afford. Even if something like a new product or a new ad campaign could give me a little bump on Eurorack sales, it's clear that the structural issues aren't going to change, and I can't realistically have Eurorack modules be my main business anymore.

US tariff update
There's a lot of concern right now about the US "tariff" on shipments from Canada.
