video upload by Vincent Presley

"My first review of a brand new synth. By request. Although I’m 6-10 months behind. Opened it up and had 20 patches made in one hour."

Post-Superbooth with ORIGAMI


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"Back from Superbooth 2025 Berlin !

I didn't have the time to test the Origami oscillator. Because the last prototype was done just before... ...so I went to the superbooth without knowing how the module sounded !

After 3 days of trying it, here some of the many sounds it can produce.
Redone in the studio.
(More to come, of course)

Enjoy

(Ok, I'm adding FX, just to put the sound in context)"

End (Dirtywave M8 Tracker + TEO-5)


video upload by The Way Up

"Managed to snag a TEO-5 just in the nick of time before tariffs hit and it jumped in price. I've been eyeing it for a while - I love that lush Oberheim sound, and it's amazing for synthwave, ambient, and dark wave sounds. All synths here were from the TEO-5, sampled and edited a bit on the M8. Threw a bit of ozone on at the end."

Huge #ambient pad on the #oberheim TEO-5 #synth


video upload by The Way Up

"I'm still wrapping my head around sound design on this synth, but I love it! It's capable of such lush, organic sounds, and it sounds absolutely huge. This is straight out of the TEO-5 through onboard effects - no external processing whatsoever."

NEW from NOVATION at Superbooth 2025: Launch Control XL MK3 and more


video upload by Hispasonic

"In this video from Superbooth 2025, Chris Calcutt from Novation presents the latest news from the brand. He highlights the launch of the new Launch Control XL MK3, a MIDI controller with 24 encoders, 8 faders and 16 programmable buttons. This new version includes a display that allows easy visualization of what is being controlled, as well as MIDI output for use with external hardware.

Launch Control XL v3 offers advanced integration with DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic and Cubase, allowing script-level control. The ability to save up to 15 different configurations makes it extremely versatile. It can be connected to devices such as Circuit Tracks for full access to deep synth parameters directly from the hardware.

Novation Components software allows full customization of all Launch Control XL controls, including high-resolution (14-bit) configurability and hotkey assignment.
The Launch Control XL v3 is expected to hit stores during the summer of 2025.

Also shown is the Launch Key 37, now available in white, unchanged in features but with new aesthetics. In addition, they present the special Swifty edition of the Bass Station 2, with artwork designed by the artist Swifty, who appears in the video making a work for the booth.

From Moog to Teenage Engineering OP-XY: A Messenger-Inspired Jam


video upload by Lo-fi Pask

"Inspired by the announcement of the new Moog Messenger, I set out to craft a track using my Teenage Engineering OP-XY, built entirely from Moog synthesizer samples.
Analog soul meets digital precision — warm, vintage tones reimagined through a cutting-edge portable synth.

This entire piece was composed on a moving train, using the Obscura 76 sound pack — a collection packed with dark textures, retro character, and the unmistakable vibe of classic Moog gears.
The result is a cinematic, introspective soundscape that blends ambient music, experimental electronica, and the freedom of mobile music production.

via this Reverb listing

"If you are looking at this you know what it is. The granddaddy of 80’s era programmable poly synths. This one had a $3k service by Jeff at The Analog Lab (one of the creators of the synth) about 18 months ago and hasn’t left my studio since. This is a hybrid of Revs, between a 2 and a 3 as many are.

Everything works perfectly when controlled by the VPK5. It sounds incredible and has real depth to its programmability. Auto tunes perfect. Comes with the power cord, pdf manual, and I’ve got a hard case that I’ve adapted to ship the VPK5.

One note, some people get a cord adapter to use other midi controllers rather than the VPK5. If you go this route Jeff said the midi notes may hang or be glitchy. There is an early EPROM that he did not have on hand that is needed to swap in to correct that issue. I’ve only used it with the VPK5 so it works 100% as it should. You can keep an eye out for the Rev 2 EPROM if you want to add that functionality. ALL ELSE WORKS PERFECTLY."

"The SER-2020 is a modern realization of the Synton Syrinx. Original owner, gently used and it was stored in the box most of the time. I got this to see what all the fuss was about and compare it to my own Syrinx eurorack filter adaptation. But alas, it's not clocking much studio time around here so I'm letting it go. Please note this is a version 1.0 production model purchased directly from AnalogFX. And it's green!...a color no longer being offered as it seems. Includes box, manual, USB cable to run MIDI host on computer, power supply w/ 4-pieces adapter prong assortment for USA and various worldwide countries. Did you know I offer a Synton Syrinx filter eurorack adaptation module called Gyrinx?"

Oberheim DMX 8-Voice Drum Machine

via this Reverb listing

"For sale is a 1984 Oberheim DMX with memory expansion running 3.2. I got this from the original owner where it had been collecting dust for almost 30 years. I addressed the cosmetic issues including refinishing the walnut sides with a Tung oil and varnish mixture and cleaned every nook and cranny of dust. I recapped all of the main electrolytic capacitors on the the main board and control board. Removed any components exhibiting corrosion from battery leakage including several IC sockets and chips. Any faulty chips were replaced by examples identical to the original equipment down to the manufacturer and year (not that it makes any difference). The screen was replaced preemptively to ensure years of use. After completing all the service steps in my abilities, I sent it to Electrongate/Paul White for the final debugging. He supplied some new buttons, battery, lid thumbscrews and sorted the last of the gremlins. It's now about as good as they come. The perfect platform for someone looking to add MIDI."

Wersi CX5 Drum Composer w/ Programming Overlay

video upload by Music Manor



via this Reverb listing

"This scarce and unique piece of German ingenuity and (over?) engineering has been tested to the best of our ability. Due to its unique architecture (i.e. - confusing layout, features, and programming), we can only vouch 100% for complete function of the screen, back lights, buttons, faders, and sounds/voices, etc.

We've included a video link of the actual unit for sale below.

It has a fat, punchy sound with a ton of retro character and a few unique and quirky voices. Once in a while we think there's a faint intermittent 'phantom' background noise?

The "SPEED" fader works but is missing the knob. Also, a handful of scratches, nicks, and abrasions are present on all surfaces - nothing serious. The power cable is safe and stable but has areas of electrical tape along its length - we're not sure why. Probably not splits or exposed wire but we did not remove the tape to find out.

Hard to find programming overlay included."

Xaoc introducing Oradea and Arad | Superbooth 2025


video upload by Thomann Synthesizers

"XAOC launched Oradea and its expander, Arad. The Oradea is an analog quad resonator featuring four bandpass filters designed to process and generate sounds while maintaining exceptionally high resonance and Q values. The emphasis was on creating a resonator effective for "pinging" without self-resonating, ensuring audible pings even at high frequencies. Each channel of Oradea hosts individual controls for frequency, peaking, and volume, which can be modulated via CV inputs."

Redshift 6 - Multitimbral Sound Demo


video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"Supercritical is thrilled to unveil multitimbrality for the Redshift 6 — a powerful new feature that makes the Redshift 6 more versatile than ever.

With six-part multitimbrality, the Redshift 6 can now assign its voices in multiple ways: split across keyboard zones for traditional polyphonic setups, layered to play rich, combined textures, or used as six independent one voice parts. Thanks to its paraphonic architecture, those one voice parts can still be played as full chords.

The update also unlocks the Redshift 6’s two auxiliary outputs, allowing individual timbral parts to be routed separately for more flexible mixing and sound design.

You can try the multitimbral Redshift 6 yourself at Superbooth 2025 — visit us at Bungalowdorf B020 in Berlin.

The multitimbral beta firmware is available now on the Supercritical Discord for all Redshift 6 users."

Redshift 6 - Superbooth 2025 Sound Demo


video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"Hear all our multitimbral Redshift 6 presets for the Superbooth 2025 — no talking, just pure playing.

These presets showcase a wide variety of sounds, from classic analog poly-synth layer splits to rich single-layer textures and one-key wonders.

The Redshift 6 is a 6-voice analog poly, but with 16 oscillators per voice, it goes far beyond the capabilities of a traditional 6-voice synth. Each voice can be played paraphonically, significantly extending the overall polyphony.

Thanks to its flexible voice allocation, voices can be used in splits, layers, or as fully independent parts — each with its own MIDI channel and controls. In essence, every voice is its own synthesizer. And with paraphony, even a single voice can become a polyphonic synth.

All the sounds in this demo are played live using a single Redshift 6, with no external FX.

Huge thanks to Novation for the Launchkey 61 MK4!

The multitimbral beta firmware is available now on the Supercritical Discord for all Redshift 6 users."

EssenceFM v7.0


video upload by Kodamo

"Discover the new features in this v7.0 firmware for your EssenceFM MK1/MKII.
Full list and download here: https://kodamo.org/firmwares?synth=efm"



v7.0 Contents

Two LFOs: Expand your sound design possibilities with a second LFO for all voices. It works like the first LFO except that it does not have Attack or Delay parameters. It has no hardwired AM/FM mod on the operator, so it should be used in the mod matrix.

UI Improvement: Volumes for all 6 operators can now be edited at the same time. When you are on the Base tab, operators become color-matched to the encoders that control their volume.

Global > Display > Startup Bank: allows to choose which Patch or Voice bank you want to load on startup.

Mod Matrix: Added each slot's ratio as modulation destination. To produce the intended effect modulations have to be put in the right order (eg. slot 1 modulates slot 2 that modulates another parameter), otherwise modulations will occur across voices (which can be used for more complex effects).

Boom Chick & Assembler by Pittsburgh Modular & Cre8Audio | Superbooth 2025


video upload by Thomann Synthesizers

"At Superbooth 2025, Cre8audio and Pittsburgh Modular unveiled two new analog devices: the Boom Chick drum machine and the Assembler mixer, both designed for standalone use and Eurorack integration.

The Boom Chick is a five-voice analog drum machine featuring kick, snare, hi-hat, and two versatile percussion voices capable of FM synthesis and wave shaping. Its six-track sequencer offers step and live modes, polyrhythms, Euclidean pattern generation, and performance tools like swing, humanize, and probability. Connectivity includes individual trigger inputs and outputs, MIDI I/O, clock sync, and reset, with output levels suitable for Eurorack systems. 

The Assembler is a 10-channel analog mixer with six mono and two stereo inputs, each equipped with preamps offering up to 20x gain, soft compression, and signal contouring. It features three post-fader aux sends with corresponding returns, a dedicated headphone cue output, and compatibility with both line-level and Eurorack signals. The mixer can function as a standalone desktop unit or be mounted in a 40HP Eurorack space.

Both devices are expected to be available in mid-May 2025."
