Frap Tools Magnolia | Analog Thru-Zero FM-Synthesizer | Superbooth 2025
video upload by Thomann Synthesizers
"The Frap Tools Magnolia is an 8-voice analog polysynth that marks the Italian brand’s debut in standalone keyboards. Unveiled at Superbooth 2025, it fuses Frap Tools' modular DNA with a modern, expressive design. Each voice features dual oscillators, combining West Coast-style thru-zero FM and wavefolding with East Coast-style PWM, and dual analog filters (HP/LP). Magnolia offers polyphonic aftertouch via a premium Fatar keybed, intuitive modulation routing with LED feedback, and flexible bi-timbral modes including splits, layers, morphing, and onboard sequencers. Expected to launch in summer 2025, it promises deep sound design with hands-on playability."

Novation Unveils Bass Station II Swifty Edition at Superbooth 2025 | A Fusion of Sound and Design
video upload by Jonathan Knightsnare
"At Superbooth 2025 in Berlin, I had the pleasure of meeting the Novation team and exploring their latest creation: the Bass Station II Swifty Edition. This limited-edition synthesizer is a collaboration between Novation and renowned British graphic designer Ian 'Swifty' Swift, known for his iconic work with labels like Mo’ Wax and Talkin’ Loud .
The Swifty Edition features a striking blue, grey, and orange color scheme, adorned with Swifty's signature typography and graphic motifs inspired by rave flyers, dubplate culture, and DIY zines . While the aesthetics are refreshed, the synth retains its powerful analog sound engine, including:
Dual oscillators with PWM and a sub-oscillator
Two analog filter modes: Classic and Acid
Flexible modulation with two envelopes and two LFOs
Pattern-based arpeggiator with step sequencer
AFX Mode for assigning a different patch to each key
Micro-tuning support for exploring alternative scales
Additionally, the Swifty Edition comes preloaded with over 60 new patches from artists like Legowelt, Pecq, and Maria Chiara Argirò, offering a diverse palette of sounds ranging from techno to jazz fusion .
This collaboration between Novation and Swifty not only celebrates the legacy of the Bass Station II but also bridges the worlds of music technology and graphic design, making it a standout release at this year's Superbooth."
Italian Innovation at Superbooth 2025 | Exploring Enjoy Electronics' DeFeel
video upload by Jonathan Knightsnare
"At Superbooth 2025, I had the pleasure of discovering Enjoy Electronics, an Italian company pushing the boundaries of modular synthesis. Their latest creation, the DeFeel, is a standout module designed to inject creativity and variation into your sequences.
What is DeFeel?
The DeFeel is a Modular Monotony Degenerator that sits between your sequencer and the rest of your modular setup. It allows you to break the linearity of sequences by introducing dynamic fills and variations, making your performances more expressive and less predictable.
Key Features:
Dual Independent Channels: Each with Gate/CV outputs for complex modulation.
4.3" Multi-Touch Interface: Intuitive control over patterns and parameters.
Advanced XY Mode: Real-time performance control with expressive gestures.
Dynamic Density Sequencing: From 1 to 64 gates per step, offering intricate rhythmic possibilities.
Multiple Playback Modes: Including Forward, Reverse, and Ping-Pong.
Comprehensive Modulation System: For all parameters, with real-time morphing.
Connectivity: 4 CV inputs, 2 Gate inputs, Clock, Play, and Reset inputs, plus 4 CV and 2 Gate outputs.
Why It Stands Out:
The DeFeel isn't just another sequencer; it's a tool that encourages spontaneity and live interaction. By allowing you to "degenerate" monotony, it brings a fresh approach to modular performances, making each session unique and engaging.
About Enjoy Electronics:
Based in Italy, Enjoy Electronics is dedicated to creating innovative tools that enhance musical expression. Their commitment to quality and creativity is evident in the DeFeel, which combines sleek design with powerful functionality."
MFX PhysiVerbs - Pocket PL8 & Slinky Reverb Plugins
video upload by ALM TV
"‘MFX PhysiVerbs’ is our second pair of reverb plugins, the ‘Pocket PL8’ and ‘Slinky Reverb’ effects, ported from our popular multi effect MFX module and pedal as plugins for use in your favourite DAW.
Both plugins use enhanced DSP code from the MFX hardware with a clean, simple and expanded user interface.
The 'Pocket PL8' produces a dense metallic reverberation based on early digital reverb algorithms. It offers all the magic of a massive aluminium plate whilst remaining small enough to fit in your pocket (or your downloads folder). The Slinky Reverb produces a distinctive boingy and dub-style echo/reverb tail loosely modelled on a spring reverb, where audio is passed through coiled metal springs.
In this video we take a quick look at the Pocket PL8 Reverb and Slinky Reverb processing our Motto Akemie FM Drum Plugin and Ableton's 'Wavetable' synthesizer respectively.
‘MFX PhysiVerbs’ is available for purchase now for macOS and Windows. Purchase to get emailed a unique download link.

Demo - Analog Techno - Novation Circuit Tracks Pack by A Force Truly Evil
video upload by Isotonik Studios
"This pack for Novation Circuit Tracks dives into the raw world of Analog Techno — driven by hands-on synth work and deep hardware. Built around patches inspired by classic analog machines and sequences created with hardware sequencers, the sounds are gritty, unstable and alive — full of saturation, modulation, and subtle imperfections that give them a true analog hardware feel.
To reinforce that analog soul, all drum samples were crafted using the Elektron Analog Rytm — a powerful analog drum machine known for its aggressive and analog sound. Its presence adds an unmistakable edge to the rhythm section, perfectly complementing the warmth and depth of the synth patches.
Includes 128 velocity-sensitive patches (64 original + 64 variations), 64 Analog Rytm drum samples and 18 sessions — ideal for Raw Techno, Minimal, IDM, Industrial, Acid and related genres.

Welson Super-Matic S12
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing
You can demos in previous posts here.
"The unit is fully working and in good cosmetical condition for its age with some cosmetical traces of use in the wood case. The only thing to report is that the on/off switch button in this unit is not working. So, to turn the drum machine on and off you simply have to unplug the drum machine! Inside the drum machine there is something that moves (a screw or something else), but - since the drum machine works well - we never decided to remove it. Real vintage gem from Italy: grab a bargain!
DESCRIPTION: The Welson Super-Matic S12 is a vintage Italian analog rhythm box drum machine with 12 preset rhythms. Produced in early 70's, it has 4 pads to trigger 4 sounds: Roll Drum, Claves, Tom 1 and Tom 2. Then it has 12 different rythms: Waltz, Tango, Western, March, Samba, Mambo, Bossa Nova, Swing, Shake, Slow Rock, Rythm and Blues and Metronome.
It has a potentiometer to control the volume and another to control the tempo.
It has 4 push buttons (pads trigger) that allow you to play 4 different types of percussions at any time (Roll drum, Clave, Tom1 and Tom2).
It has a START/STOP and an ON/OFF switch (IMPORTANT: in this unit the ON/OFF button is NOT working: so, to turn the drum machine on and off you simply have to unplug it!).
It also has a light that turns on when you turn on the Super-Matic and that flashes with the frequency of the rhythm (set by the tempo potentiometer).
It also has a tone and impedance control potentiometers in the back!
Welson was the Italian brand that produced many legendary instruments. The Company was based in Castelfidardo (Marche, Italy), in the same area where Eko, Elka, Elgam, Farfisa, Crumar, Jen, Siel, Solton, CRB, etc. were born."

This looks more like an amp than a mixer. The built-in rhythm machine gets the post. This would be a fun item to show off in the studio. "Check out my new amp", then flick on the rhythm section, or route a sequence running on your other gear through it with the volume down, then say "I wonder what's on the radio", mute your main mixer and switch over to the Optonica, "Oh it's me!"
"The MX-1000 is an extremely rare product, it is a mixer, an analog reverb unit & a pre-programmed rhyrhm machine.
Warm-sounding reverb, deep sinking echoes, and saturation sounds unique to analog mixers.
Rhythm machine sound like Roland CR-78.

This appears to be the first post to feature DIGIAC.
"This was originally a logic trainer for education but I re-purposed it as a logic source to experiment with hybrid analog/digital modular music synthesizers. I'm selling it because I no longer have a modular synth to use it with. It has been rebuilt with all new electrolytic capacitors, I/O switches and blue LEDs. Included is an assortment of multicolor patch cables that I made up with silicone jacketed wire and gold plated 2.5mm banana plugs. Mounted in a wooden enclosure it is self contained with a built-in power supply & clock generator. Size is 19"W X 17.5 "H so it fits nicely in a 19" rack 10U space. I setup a demo video of a dual decade up counter.
Logic modules included:16x JK flip flops, numeric keypad, multiple AND/NAND/OR/NOR/XOR gates, full adder, D/A converter, 1k bit addressable memory, comparator, one shot multivibrator, schmitt triggered buffer, 60Hz clock, dual seven segment decimal display, other miscellaneous functions including four I/O switches and a patchable 16 pin IC socket (nice if you want to add an additional IC or an interface cable).
Cosmetic condition: Fair to good with some scratches on the panel and damage to the wooden enclosure (see pictures).
Power source: 120VAC

"Saludos!
Siempre he querido probar un OP1 de Teenage Engineering pero los precios eran prohibitivos incluso en el mercado de segunda mano. Por suerte los precios ahora son más razonables. Hace años tuve un OPZ pero no me acabó de gustar el sonido ni la construcción del sinte, aunque si me pareció muy divertido.
Esta es la primera idea que he montado con el OP1, sencillo, yendo a lo esencial. Beat, Bajo, Arp y Pad. Añado en el modular una voz al final que toco con el Keystep (fuera de plano).
La idea es tener un equipo que me pueda llevar conmigo a todos lados en la que jugar con armonías e ideas de temas para luego construir encima.
Gracias por estar al otro lado!
David.

Greetings!
I've always wanted to try a Teenage Engineering OP1 but the prices were prohibitive even on the second hand market. Luckily the prices are more reasonable now. I had an OPZ years ago but I didn't really like the sound or the construction of the synth, although I did find it very fun.
This is the first idea that I have put together with OP1, simple, going to the essentials. Beat, Bass, Arp and Pad. I add a voice to the modular at the end that I play with the Keystep (out of plane).
The idea is to have a piece of gear that I can take with me everywhere to play with harmonies and theme ideas to then build on top of them.
Thanks for being on the other side!

I like the idea of bringing esoteric modules to destop and stand along synth designs. There have been systems built around eurorack modules in the past, but I'm hoping we might start seeing more of this in the future. This with a built-in keyboard would be a dream to explore while kicking back in the recliner.

Cinematic Ambient w/ Moog Subharmonicon, OP-1 field, Tape Loop| Crater 2025-05-09 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created with the @MoogSynthesizers Moog Subharmonicon, @teenageengineering OP-1 field, and tape loops—quiet ambient music built from repeating harmonies and gentle tape textures.
Subharmonicon: Uses only VCO 1 to create a looping pattern, routed through @HologramElectronics MICROCOSM for reverb.
OP-1 field: Performs soft synth-pad layers.
Tape loop: Plays a pre-recorded piano line, processed with reverb via @gfisys SPECULAR TEMPUS.
Ableton Live: Adds additional sound effects and synth melodies on top."
