via Super Synthesis
"It is with bittersweet excitement I announce that Super Synthesis is closing Dec 31st, 2024. That will be right around 11.5 years, and it's been a total blast. I started Super when I was 23 years old making format-less kits and noise boxes instead of finishing my EE degree. I still am pretty sure that was the right move lol... ask again when I'm 120! I will keep supporting all of my modules forever, and the current lineup will live on as DIY kits from Synthcube, and as open source designs on the Super github. I'll probably keep putting new stuff there too as it gets finished, as open designs and synth education have been my goal and priority since day one.
On Jan 1, the Super store will close down for good. Until then, everything is discounted in an effort to liquidate stock. Right now your whole order is 40% off. If anything is left by the holidays, that discount will get deeper! I really just want this stuff in people's racks.
This is a good and happy thing. If anyone is curious about anything, starting or running or closing Super, it's one of my favorite things to talk about.
After this post on reddit, I sold out overnight:
'Enough people have reached out wanting to know about a final run or hidden stock that I've decided to try something that I've strictly avoided the past 11 years: a pre-order.
I totally want to do another run, but I can't justify buying stuff that may end up undoing the magic of selling out of my stock!
Between now (Friday night, 9/27) and a week from now (next Friday night, 10/4) I have enabled purchase of all modules (including two new modules that no one has ever seen!). At the end of the week, I'll shut down ordering and get everything made. It will take about 4 weeks to get boards made by robots and modules assembled by homie Matt (Matt rules), then I'll ship them all out. If this is too long, I understand! I think it's the only way I can really go about this, though. Since I'm going to start spending the money on production immediately following this 1 week period, there will be no refunds once it closes. If you need to cancel your order, make sure you reach out before then!
I have been working on a reverb and a chorus for the past couple of years. I love them, but funds and time and various things got in the way of actually releasing them. They're both kind of noisy, mono, sort of imperfect, and totally badass. I'll try to get some demos up, but at $59.40 ($99 at the 40% discount), you could just grab one or both and support j'boy! This reverb was a blast to develop. I got to learn all about vintage resource-constrained reverbs and came up with an original algorithm that is super tasty and useful. The chorus module is a little less exciting, I guess, but the delay time goes up to about 1/3 of a second so it's really just badass modulated delay. Check them both out:

"ROOM is a simple reverb effect boasting much tasty character comprised of modulated all pass delay lines with high and low pass filters in the main feedback path.
FEEDBACK controls the overall feedback around the loop. At max, the verb will sustain nearly indefinitely.
LP and HP control the cutoff frequencies of the high-pass and low-pass filters in the main feedback path. Adjust LP for darker, danker, sounds. Adjust HP to remove boom, simulate smaller spaces, or create long twinkly sizzles.
SIZE controls the length of the internal delay lines. At minimum you get little cabinets or bathrooms, at max you get deep halls and spacious canyons.
ROOM is retro. It's kind of noisy. It is deliciously useful.

"CHORUS is a modulated delay line with feedback. CHORUS yields lush waves, thick doubling, resonant tails, with wide controls capable of truly psychedelic textures. CV through its associated attenuverter lets you modulate the delay time with an external control voltage. BAL is a simple crossfader from dry to wet. FB is the feedback amount. DELAY controls the delay time, from just a few samples to ~300ms. CHORUS is a staple addition to any patch and pairs extremely well with the 2OPFM.
