Body Synths Laboratory #superbooth26
video upload by motobor
"This is a dual channel filter and delay module with quad feedback loops. This is the drone side of this instrument/fx but it can be much more as of the separate inputs and outputs. 3 cv mod parameters per channel open up a lot more sonic experimenting possibilities. Some additional sound is inputed from their other synth."

Introducing the Body Synths Laboratory
video upload by Body Synths


"The Body Synths Laboratory is a dual-channel effects processor and feedback synthesizer.
Four feedback paths sit at the core of the Laboratory. Route signals, control delay repeats, or add gritty textures. Push them far enough, and the system enters self-oscillation—even with no input. From there, every control reshapes the feedback into anything from subtle drones to harsh noise madness.
Each channel features three voltage-controlled effects: gain, delay, and filter. Run the channels in series or in parallel. Push signals from silence to amplification with the Gain control. Drive the Delay into dirty territory at longer times—we’ve used that famous karaoke machine delay chip. Combine both channels to create multi-tap or ping-pong echoes.
The Resonant Filter provides Low-Pass and High-Pass modes. Chain the two channels in series to create Band-Pass responses. A final clipping stage at the end of each channel adds compression and distortion when driven to extremes.
We’ve also included a global Modulator that can operate as either an Envelope or an LFO, with two positive and two negative CV outputs. Patch them to build effects like tremolo, vibrato, chorus, moving stereo filter sweeps, modulated delays—it can get pretty wild.
The Body Synths Laboratory is being developed in collaboration with Andrey from the Berlin-based pedal company akkusativ.
Body Synths Laboratory
Release: 2026. Price: TBA."

Making Rythms from Feedback with the Zakal from Colossus Audio and the Metal Fetishist
video upload by Body Synths
"The "pairing series" is back! In this one we explore the Zakal, a spring reverb / feedback device from Colossus Audio. We start by using the Metal Fetishist as a sound source but quickly flip the tables and use it as a sound processor instead, making Rythms with the feedback tones that come through its input from the Zakal.
The background noise you may hear comes from my microphone, not from the instruments. I will be more careful next time.
https://bodysynths.com/ | https://www.colossusaudio.com/"
"Zakal is a resonant audio feedback instrument. It generates feedback using reverb springs, with the feedback signal shaped by a low-pass filter and a delay in the feedback path or simple feedback. Additionally, Zakal can function as a spring reverb effect, offering versatile sonic possibilities.
Zakal contains amplification and recovery circuits designed to generate audio feedback through its reverb springs.
A switch allows you to engage the LPF and Delay within the feedback path, enabling creative control over the frequencies fed back into the spring reverb, shaping unique resonant textures.
When used as a spring reverb effects unit, the POST EQ provides precise shaping of the wet signal, offering enhanced tonal flexibility.
At the end of the chain, a 3-band EQ provides additional shaping of the output, offering precise control over the final sound. When used as a spring reverb effects unit, the EQ enhances the wet signal for even greater tonal versatility.
ZAKAL does not include a power supply. It operates on a standard 9V DC (negative center, 2.1mm barrel plug) compatible with most guitar pedal power supplies. If you do not own one feel free to reach out, and I’ll help you find a suitable option."

MACHINA BRISTRONICA LØSTLVLS
video uploads by LØSTLVLS
Playlist:
1. - 4. ERICA SYNTHS HEXDRUMS 01 - 04 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS
I got to spend some quality time with the Hexdrums - it sounds really beefy and each voice has a tonne of sweet spots. The Hexdrums has loads of saturation available, is built to a high standard and feels very performative. This is the first of four videos.5. ERICA SYNTHS PERKONS HD-01 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS
Check out my samples on Bandcamp - loads of vintage and modern drum machines and more, all samples ethically-sourced and locally-grown here in the lab in Bristol, UK: https://lostlvls.bandcamp.com/
The formidable Perkons HD-01 was available at Machina Bristronica - how could I resist? For my money the Perkons is the most 'jammable' and gratifying drum machine on the market, hands-down. The person using it before filming this session was dancing and really enjoying their time with it. Was a joy to witness!6. MODOR DR-2 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS
The excellent DR-2 drum machine from Modor aka Marcel Belmans. Was a treat to finally meet Marcel and discuss his creations. In this video Marcel kindly demonstrated the DR-2 for us.7. BODY SYNTHS METAL FETISHIST x2 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS
Been wanting to check this little weirdo out for some time - two is even better!

Oberheim’s SEM sequenced with Metal Fetishist
video upload by Body Synths
"I had the opportunity to borrow an original Tom Oberheim SEM reissue from a friend and this video is a selection of some sounds I came up with. The 2 Metal Fetishists are in sync and being used as sequencers for the SEM’s pitch and gate CV inputs. Aside from that I tried to keep the patching to a minimum. What can I say about the SEM? it is very fun to play and it sounds absolutely amazing. I loved playing with the filter resonance to get classic Oberheim textures. As for the Metal Fetishist, sometimes I like using it as “just” a sequencer for my monophonic synths, so I thought this was a good opportunity to showcase how I do it. Feel free to ask questions in the comments. I hope you liked this one!

Body Synths Metal Fetishist Percussion Synthesizer - SonicLAB Review
video upload by sonicstate
"Extra sounds demo on our http://patreon.com/sonicstate
@midierror takes look at the Body Synths Metal Fetishist - an unhinged noise box and percussion synthesizer, capable of making gut-wrenching beats, incendiary fx, and supercharged percussive elements.
It's a unique unit, which is the first release from Body Synths - a monophonic digital synthesizer with sequence generation, rather than a conventional step sequencer.
The combination of an oscillator, noise generator, filter, random modulation, and 2 on-board effects leads to many unexpected results and happy accidents - particularly if you like your sound dark and distorted.
It's available now for around £369.99 RRP
https://bodysynths.com/
midierror has just launched http://potatoaudio.com
Patreons have access to an EXTRA NOISE video, with 10 minutes of no talking, balls-to-the-wall noise explorations, and we'll be following up with some free loops in the new year - exclusively available at https://www.patreon.com/sonicstate

Pairing the Metal Fetishist with Make Noise Maths

"Another week, another pairing! This time I played with the inredibly fun Doepfer Frequency Shifter, also known as A-126-2 because… modular. This little thing farts like no other so it’s a sound designer’s dream come true if you ask me."

About the Metal Fetishist: https://bodysynths.com
DISCLAIMER:
Please note that each Metal Fetishist may have minor variations in the electronic and mechanical components that interface with the sound engine. Therefore, each unit can interpret these “presets” with subtle differences between them.
In addition, sequences cannot be saved as presets because the random skip and step-modulation generators are designed to produce completely unique results each time.
We’d like to encourage you to not only play with the STEPS control, but to also adjust the instrument controls; use these presets as starting points in your sonic exploration.
