Haku and Blue Lantern Shimm

Tabby cat with a Eurorack module from Blue Lantern on its side.

Poor Haku hadn’t been feeling well for a bit, but fortunately, he’s back to his energetic, curious self. Here we see him with a Blue Lantern Shimm module. This is a “shimmer” generator with several XOR functions, a cowbell sound generator, and a noise “sizzle” generator.

From our friend Erik Ribeiro (@eriksuperlazy on Instagram):


hanks to those who messaged me or sent well wishes for Haku. He’s good. Started doing better as soon as he was willing to start eating. He’s back to his curious self, jumping in to “help” as I shuffle modules between skiffs.

I gotta say, I always liked the look of Blue Lantern Modules. They can sometimes look too dense or too busy or a little inconsistent, but I still like the aesthetic. The look has personality instead of looking like so many others. I really like the look of these white modules in particular, and I love the knobs. Wonder if I can find more of these “power button” looking knobs for other modules.
