KORG Phase8, un sintetizador ACÚSTICO peculiar y asequible
video upload by Hispasonic
"Korg Phase8 es un dispositivo musical peculiar y asequible, con un precio por debajo de 100 €, que estará disponible a finales de año. Utiliza barras de metal accionadas por un electroimán, permitiendo generar sonidos únicos mediante la manipulación de pocos parámetros: nivel/velocidad (que puede llegar a saturar y romper el sonido) y envolvente, que controla la duración y el ataque del sonido, desde percusivo y corto hasta más suave y prolongado.
Destaca por su construcción robusta y metálica, lo que resulta sorprendente para su bajo costo. Ofrece opciones creativas como la posibilidad de añadir apagadores, golpear las barras manualmente para producir sonidos o usar la acción electrónica. Incluye un modo de grabación por pasos (step mode) que permite registrar pequeñas secuencias de hasta 8 pasos, aunque también es posible grabar a tiempo real. Cuenta con un efecto con tres variantes, incluyendo delay (desde breve tipo slap o más extenso y con feedbacknpara crear eco) o modulación, capaz de trémolo y variaciones de tono, que se pueden ajustar para añadir animación o prolongar la duración del sonido.
En cuanto a conectividad, dispone de puertos USB, MIDI, sincronismo y una entrada de voltaje que controla alguno de los parámetros comunes. Es un dispositivo rudimentario pero curioso, que da forma a un instrumento simple y económico. Aunque no se espera un rendimiento complejo, su diseño metálico y la posibilidad de experimentar con sonidos lo convierten en una propuesta muy singular, desarrollada en la sede de Korg en Berlín."

"The Korg Phase8 is a unique and affordable musical device, priced under €100, and available later this year. It uses metal bars driven by an electromagnet, allowing unique sounds to be generated by manipulating a few parameters: level/speed (which can saturate and break the sound) and envelope, which controls the duration and attack of the sound, from percussive and short to softer and longer.
It stands out for its robust, metal construction, which is surprising given its low cost. It offers creative options such as adding dampers, manually striking the bars to produce sounds, or using electronic action. It includes a step recording mode that allows you to record small sequences of up to 8 steps, although it is also possible to record in real time. It has an effect with three variations, including delay (from a short slap-like delay to a longer one with feedback to create echo) or modulation, capable of tremolo and pitch variations, which can be adjusted to add animation or extend the duration of the delay. sound.
In terms of connectivity, it has USB, MIDI, sync, and a voltage input that controls some common parameters. It's a rudimentary but interesting device that creates a simple and inexpensive instrument. While complex performance isn't expected, its metallic design and the ability to experiment with sounds make it a very unique offering, developed at Korg's headquarters in Berlin.

Live Set Re-recorded - from Superbooth25, feat AJH SYNTH all-analogue modules
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"This is a re-recording of a 20-minute live set by @DreamsOfWires for Superbooth25, and consists of two old tracks from my video back-catalog. It's quite a minimal rig, configured as two all-analogue synth voices - one for melodic patterns, one for pitched drone parts.
The actual performance at the event suffered technical problems as a result of failing cables and a dodgy musician's inability to recover much from it. As a result said musician decided to record a version of it after returning home, demonstrating how it should have sounded.
In my defence, this rig had been on display for 3 days at the AJH Synth booth, demoing modules, being re-patched, fiddled with, then re-patched, etc... but then again, a bad workman always blames their tools :P
I hope this version is more audible.
Modules used:
(AJH SYNTH)
Matrix VCF
Transistor Ladder Filter
Sonic XV Diode Ladder Filter
Vintage Transistor Core VCO x4
Sample Hold & Slew
Contour Generators
Wave Swarm
Ring SM
Muting Mixer

The AJH SYNTH Eurorack modular range consists of high-end modules, all hand-made in the UK, most of which are based on classic, vintage designs, authentically recreating the circuitry of much sought-after analogue instruments and technologies of the past, whilst greatly expanding them, and bringing them to modern Eurorack levels of convenience, limitless flexibility, and reliability.

ARTEMIS, un polifónico ANALÓGICO compacto y completo
video upload by Hispasonic
"El buen sabor que acostumbra a dejar Dreadbox con sus analógicos está presente en el sintetizador polifónico Artemis, que ofrece seis voces sustractivas y las completa con 4 efectos para llegar, pese a lo compacto del formato en módulo, a sonidos a través sus salidas estéreo.
No habíamos traído a Hispasonic este modelo que recientemente ha pasado a estar disponible en tiendas, así que hemos aprovechado la visita a Superbooth 2025 para daros a conocer sus características y mostrároslo en acción en varios de los primeros presets de los hasta 512 que puede alojar internamente.

"The good taste that Dreadbox usually leaves with its analog synthesizers is present in the Artemis polyphonic synthesizer, which offers six subtractive voices and complements them with four effects to achieve sounds through its stereo outputs, despite the compactness of its module format.
We hadn't brought this model to Hispasonic, which has recently become available in stores, so we took advantage of our visit to Superbooth 2025 to introduce you to its features and show it in action with several of the first presets of the up to 512 it can store internally.

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)"
