The Queen’s Court is Coming to SUPERBOOTH



via Shakmat:

"Superbooth is around the corner and I’m happy to finally unveil the prototype we’re going to show this year.

The Queen’s Court is a new kind of stereo matrix mixer, combining a fully analog signal path with deep digital control — and removing the need for external modulation. Designed for performance as much as for studio work, it brings hands-on control, internal modulation, and preset morphing into a single, cohesive instrument.

At its core, The Queen’s Court offers 4 stereo inputs (configurable as stereo or dual mono), 3 auxiliary stereo inputs, and 4 stereo outputs — all freely routable within a flexible matrix and it embeds modulation directly into the routing structure.

The Queen’s Court integrates 36 internal modulators directly into the matrix.

Per-input panning with LFO-based autopanning
Per-routing-point bipolar envelopes, triggerable via CV or extracted from audio signals
Integrated LFOs on each routing point, with sine and random waveforms, clock-syncable
This enables advanced behaviors such as internal sidechaining, dynamic routing, and animated spatial movement — without relying on external modules.

Designed with an open-ended philosophy, The Queen’s Court can function as:

a self-contained matrix mixer
a performance mixer
a feedback processor
a routing hub for audio and CV
Oh and the system can also be expanded with up to two expanders, increasing the total to:
8 stereo inputs
5 auxiliary stereo inputs
4 outputs
8 CV inputs"

Analog Anonymous | Episode 01


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"In this new series I want to focus on cool sounds without immediately revealing which modules are used. The principle is simple, if you don't like how a module sounds, change something until you do. Back in the 1970's, a Serge panel could do anything - and you'd need to figure out how. Just think of Maths versus a dedicated Envelope Generator or LFO. A swiss army knife versus a specialized screwdriver for a specific kind of screw. The module in this episode feels like one of those screwdrivers and my goal is to explore such a module until it becomes multi functional. It's often not about the gear, everything's been done before. It's about using your modular lego bricks and build something you'd have weeks or months of fun with.

Even though the series is called Analog Anonymous, inspired by the AA and solving bad habits, it can include both analog and digital gear. In this series, 'analog' means 'analogue to air pressure'. Whatever you're using, your ears are always analog. In modular synthesis, your patch is not intended to be sober. We need to be intoxicated by sound while being in the Zone. Very healthy, very Zen. I talk too much. Have fun!"

Kaleidoscope Synth: Study One


video upload by Oscillator Sink

"This is Kaleidoscope by Vadim Minkin.

It’s an instrument I’m in the process of learning, but there’s a lot to learn and explore so while I’m doing so, I thought I’d post a few studies on the way to the “real” video.

It’s described as a Generative Groovebox, but it can take on many different guises, and, as you can hear, this patch is based around drones.

Transparency Notice: Kaleidoscope was sent to me for free for the purposes of making videos, and I am allowed to keep the unit. The developers of the instrument have not been granted, nor have they requested an editorial oversight into the content I make about it."

video uploads by Elastic Instruments

Playlist:

1. Elastic OSC Is Finally Coming to Desktop — Mac & Windows
2. Elastic OSC Is Finally on Desktop — Now available for Mac & Windows
3. Elastic OSC Desktop — Preset Showcase & Sound Demo

For those attending Superbooth, they will be in booth Z380.

"Elastic OSC, a Plaits-based macro-oscillator synthesizer, is finally coming to desktop. It’s one of the few synths available across all major platforms: macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android.

Elastic OSC is an 8-voice polyphonic macro-oscillator synthesizer based on the open-source code of Mutable Instruments Plaits. Its core idea is simple: powerful sound design reduced to just four main parameters - Frequency, Harmonics, Morph, and Timbre. These parameters shape the sound across all 24 oscillator models, allowing for dramatic changes with minimal effort."
