https://github.com/plantssystem/KOSMOS2

"PlantsSystem has released 'KOSMOS2 – Pico2 Edition,' a new version featuring the PRA32-U2/M synth engine.

This version ports KOSMOS2's 4-part generative architecture to the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (RP2350), achieving stable real-time synthesis through a multi-core DSP, I2S audio, and independent sound engines for each part.

Key Features of KOSMOS2 Pico2 Edition:
- **4 independent generative parts** (Melody / Bass / Chords / Sequence)
- **PRA32-U2/M engine running on Core 1** with stable 44.1kHz I2S output
- **Real-time control via TouchOSC or external MIDI**
- **Automatic generation of scales, chords, arpeggios, and patterns**
- **Color-coded note visualization** integrated with the hardware UI
- **Fully deterministic generative behavior** with per-part randomization
- **Optimized for the RP2350**, delivering improved DSP headroom and stable multi-synth operation

This release marks the first fully stable port of KOSMOS2 to the Pico 2 platform, incorporating fixes for RP2350 DSP initialization behavior and optimizations for the PRA32-U2/M process loop timing.

KOSMOS2 Pico2 Edition is released for integration into custom hardware builds."

Sounds from Superbooth 2026: Meng Qi Wing Pinger 2.0⁠

video upload by Perfect Circuit

Meng Qi at Perfect Circuit

via Perfect Circuit

"Meng Qi's Wing Pinger 2.0 is a handheld update to their beloved stereo resonant filter instrument, this time with a complete overhaul, but still based around a pair of analog filters. These self-oscillating analog filters with cross-feedback are capable of producing plucked tones, chordal motion, unstable rhythms, and full-on chaotic textures all from the same unstable circuit. Now centered around a robust screen, version 2.0 adds a powerful onboard Strudel-inspired scripting system for composing sequences, modulating parameters, and letting blocks influence each other over time. The Wing Pinger 2.0 is a huge change in the interface, enabling diverse and new creative pathways, remaining centered around the essence of this sought-after instrument: a pair of beautifully resonant analog filters.

Wing Pinger 2.0 Features

Handheld stereo resonant filter instrument

Dual analog filters

Screen interface for parameter control

Onboard scripting language for easy programming

Scriptable feedback system

Production model features milled aluminum enclosure"

Sounds from Superbooth 2026: Mordax Siren⁠

video upload by Perfect Circuit

Mordax at Perfect Circuit


"Siren from Mordax and Anonymous Developer is a multi-oscillator drone generator module that delivers complex and compelling tones in a compact package. Outfitted with finger-friendly faders and optimized for performance, Siren offers macro controls which simplify the task of wrangling its massive set of sound generators. Twenty-one oscillators and twenty-three LFOs provide a rich landscape of waves to mix and mangle. Adjust pitch, waveform shape, and amplitude via manual control or CV, and enjoy the evolving textures Siren creates.

Siren is built on a digital core which prioritizes responsiveness and immediacy in addressing its deep sound processing capabilities. Digital artifacts can be welcomed in with open arms at the far ends of Siren's parametric range, inviting sizzling timbral interventions from aliasing and quantization. CV modulation has similarly embraced its digital soul, with no filtering applied for immediate connection and response to incoming signals. Tonalities are organized in whole-number, just intonation ratios, with every voice tightly harmonized with its fundamental pitch, producing a lovely and resonant tonal structure which often diverges from the typical and equal-tempered. Whether you're adding texture and movement in the background of a patch or diving deep into a well of uncanny drone, Siren from Mordax is sure to call you nearer with every patching session.

Siren Features

Digital drone oscillator tuned in just intonation

21 VCOs and 23 LFOs provide an ultra-rich sound engine to manipulate

Streamlined macro controls optimized for intuitive performance

Waveforms not anti-aliased to embrace digital artifacts

CV inputs unfiltered for unique responsiveness and immediacy

Collaborative design with Anonymous Developer

Sounds from Superbooth 2026: Ferry Island Modular

Ferry Island Modular at Perfect Circuit

"Undertow from Ferry Island Modular is a two-dimensional wavetable VCO/LFO matrix for complex, spatial modulation, providing a powerful central nervous system for any modular system. With a 5 x 3 CV matrix, instead of a single VCO/LFO waveform, you get fifteen simultaneous outputs, each a unique position between two wavetable oscillators. Morph waveform and frequency across the horizontal axis with the mod generator across the vertical axis, taking you from clean to chaotic. No longer do you need to patch together disparate modulation sources in the hopes they can work together, the Undertow makes that a reality with so little effort it feels like cheating. Only for a moment though, as you start to unpeel the sonic onion of your modular system's potential with the Ferry Island Undertow as your sharpened steel.


Undertow Features

Morphing modulation matrix
15 bipolar CV outputs with LEDs
Two wavetable LFOs with wave, frequency, and bank control morphing along the X axis
Mod generator with selectable type shapes the Y axis from clean to turbulent
Clock inputs control left and right LFO frequency
EOC outputs
CV control with attenuation on wave and frequency
5 wavetable banks, more via firmware updates"

Freqport - FT1-EMU Plugin | SUPERBOOTH 26

video upload by Bonedo Synthesizers



"For the first time in history, FreqTube FT1 lets you combine the awe-inspiring tone of real tube saturation with the convenience of digital connectivity in an easy to use, portable solution that will take your productions to the next level.

While analog processors are highly coveted, they often require elaborate setups that complicate your workflow, making it hard to strike while your creative iron is hot. FreqTube solves this problem by giving you full control over its four true-analog vacuum tubes via a simple USB connection. You’ll never again have to choose between convenience and quality.

The FT1 delivers real analog drive and color with all the convenience of a VST. Saturation, heat, drive, harmonics, distortion… whatever you want to call it, the FreqTube FT1 adds true-analog valve tone and color to your digital productions via just a simple USB connection.

Process any sound you like via the FreqTube’s four vacuum tubes and eight multimode hardware filters and – control it all via the, included, proprietary VST interface.

Hook up the FreqTube to your computer and load the control VST into your DAW, and you’ve got instant, recallable, low latency command over a broad palette of analog tones from subtle to savage… all with the ease-of-use you would expect from a digital plugin!

Because FT1 uses two sets of two tubes, you get two gain stages with full attenuation per channel for the ultimate in tone shaping. You can even process two stereo signals simultaneously, or up to four mono signals.

The FreqTube gives you hands-on control via its eight control knobs and bright, responsive color display. Of course, you can also use the included VST to control (and automate) all knob parameters. Once you have a sound you like, store it as a pre-set for instant recall.

FreqTube FT1 is not a pedestrian distortion box. It’s a color box with a broad palette of tonal options suitable for creative musicians, demanding engineers, and world-class producers."
