Superbooth 16: New Frap Tools CGM Creative Eurorack Module Series

I was really happy to run into Frap Tools at Superbooth in Berlin this year. They gave us an overview of the CGM (Channel Group Master) creative mixer for Auroral modular synths.  

The CGM series is what Frap Tools refer to as a creative mixer series of three modules for Eurorack modular synthesizer systems.
