14:11 Argentina gave us Lionel Messi & GS Music

"GS Music is one of the most interesting boutique synthesizer companies I discovered at Superbooth 2026.

I spoke with Guido Salaya, the founder and lead engineer of GS Music, about how a small family business from Argentina grew into a company designing and manufacturing analog polyphonic synthesizers.

Their main instruments include the 7-voice GS Music e7 and the 6-voice Bree6, available as a desktop and keyboard version. At Superbooth 2026, GS Music also showed the new Bree6 Four Octave Edition - a 49-key, 4-octave version of their analog polysynth.

Featuring fantastic performance of ‪@MattJohnsonskeyspace‬ to show capabilities of Bree6.

In this interview we discuss:
why he built a synth with only one oscillator,
the philosophy behind keeping instruments simple,
how GS Music started as a hobby,
why they chose to build analog polyphonic synthesizers,
how product ideas become finished synthesizers,
the challenges of manufacturing hardware in Argentina,
what makes GS Music different from larger synth manufacturers.

If you enjoy boutique synthesizers and hearing the stories behind the people who build them, I think you’ll enjoy this conversation."

UDO Audio DMNO Binaural Dynamic Synth Review - SonicLAB, Sample Pack

video upload by Sonicstate

Superbooth videos mentioned posted here.

"In this SonicLAB, we look into the @udo_audio UDO Audio DMNO, an 8-voice polyphonic binaural analog hybrid synthesizer with dynamic signal architecture.

The DMNO is sonically different from the Super Series, featuring a grittier, more aggressive sound. With dual synth engines, though each DMNO integrates the familiar Super DDS oscillators and custom wavetables and both support both stereo and binaural modes. With 8 voices total, when running two DMNOs in Binaural mode, in split or layer, that will reduce the voice count to 2.

The oscillators can cross mod and route with plenty of audio rate modulation , the LFO 1 also can run tracked and in Audio Rate mode too.

There's lots of configuration, routing and drive with the stereo analog filter, these have multiple modes, stereo, parallel and series routings with Frequency delta between each 'side' of the filters for some lovely formant and vowel like articulations.

Mod matrix has 7 slots plus two fixed routings for wheel and envelope velocity - perhaps the selection of source and destinations could be increased if the FPGA pathways allow for it, and it would be nice to see FX parameters as a destination at some point.

With EQ, Chorus and Drive per DMNO and a shared Delay/Reverb on send, there's some decent additional sound sculpting to be had.

Priced at £2,599, this synth gives an alternative to the other synths in the UDO range"

UDO DMNO was created to scream!

video upload by Music Journey with Paul

"At Superbooth 2026 in Berlin, I sat down with George Hearn, founder and lead engineer of UDO Audio, outside a beautifully designed glamping tent that reflected the same attention to detail found in UDO’s instruments.

We started talking about the new DOMINO synth… but very quickly the conversation became something much deeper.

Minimalism in synth design. Playing synths for pure enjoyment. The state of flow. And the mistakes we make when thinking about creativity.

Redshift 6: Can This Analog Synth Replace Your VSTs?

video upload by Music Journey with Paul

"At Superbooth 2026, I spoke with Timo from Supercritical Synthesizers about one of the most ambitious analog polysynths on the market today - a unique 6-voice analog polysynth from Finland that takes a very different approach to synthesis.

With 96 analog oscillators, multi-timbral architecture, MPE support, evolving firmware updates and a variable character engine that can shift between different vintage-inspired flavors, Redshift 6 blurs the line between traditional analog hardware and modern software flexibility.

In this interview and sound demo we talk about who Redshift 6 is for, how its unusual interface works, the latest firmware innovations, and why some of its sounds might make you think you’re listening to a DX-style digital synth - even though the signal path remains analog.

Dreadbox Polyend Medusa

video upload by ollilaboratories

"I have always wanted a Medusa ever since i tried it at Superbooth (i think?) many years ago, i found it very intriguing, both layout / workflow with the grid and the very special sound engine. For some reason i never got to the point actually buying one until the other day when i stumbled over one used for a very reasonable price. I mean, i dont even really have the space for it.. i just knew this was the time to get one. :)

What you see and hear in this video is me taking it for a quick testrun, i love its quirkiness, how one can assign the voices are being played which creates some really fun happy accidents all over the place. The grid is quantized into Dorian scale, root in D.

FX from the Vongon Ultrasheer Reverb and Red Panda Particle, EHX 720 Stereo Looper from for the intro loop recording. All is recorded live straight on 2 track with some minor touch up post, e.g limiter and little bit of EQ at the top.

Cheers and Enjoy!"

Love Synthesizers First Love interview and sounds superbooth 26

video upload by Take the Fear out the Gear

"Hi everybody this time we bring you the Love Instruments first love interview and sounds at superbooth 26

First Love is a desktop 4-part multi-timbral FM Synthesizer with deep FM editing and waveshaping options. FM synthesis doesn’t always have to be DX-7-style. Love Synthesizers proves this.

Instead of dragging the user into the next operator nightmare, they’ve developed their own playful concept consisting of a 7-inch touchscreen, knobs, and buttons. This is supported by a colorful user interface that tries to enhance this new FM synthesis experience

For example, to create FM, you swipe one oscillator to another with your finger, and so on. At Superbooth 2026, the developers, including founder Kári Halldórsson, showcased the progress they have made over the past few months.

This includes a finished sound engine featuring four polyphonic FM synthesizers, a dedicated onboard FX engine with reverb, delay, chorus, and freezer per part, and the now-implemented 'The Playground'.
