Superbooth 2026 Highlights | Voltage Labs


video upload by Voltage Labs

"This year at Superbooth, we found some seriously inspiring instruments - here are a few of our highlights. Soma showed one of the most forward-thinking instruments we came across, with a truly unique interface. Richie Hawtin and Erica Synths introduced the latest Bullfrog edition: Drums.
Buchla also caught our attention with Ziggy a compact new take on their iconic West Coast sound.
Polyend is aiming high with their new analog-digital hybrid drum machine, possibly their most ambitious project yet. And one of the most fascinating discoveries for us was Tembo: a wooden drum synthesizer that looks beautiful and sounds unlike anything else.

Interesting bits and pieces:
00:00 Intro
00:17 Buchla Ziggy
02:00 Soma Enigma
03:00 Superbooth & Schwarzmann (Live)
04:00 Erica Synth x Richie Hawtin´s Bullfrog

Erica Synths Syntrx II Review and Demo // Not just for Bleeps, Fizzes and Ambient Soundscapes


video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Erica Synths Syntrx II is one of the most talked-about synthesizers of recent years — but three years on from its release, is it still worth your money? In this in-depth review and demo, I finally get hands-on with this modern spiritual successor to the legendary EMS VCS3 and EMS Synthi, and I want to bust two big myths: it's NOT as complicated as it looks, and it's NOT just a crazy sci-fi sound effects machine.
🎹 What's covered in this video:

-Syntrx II vs the original EMS VCS3 / EMS Synthi — key similarities and differences
-Syntrx II vs Syntrx I — what changed and why
-The 16x16 digital pin matrix explained simply
-Using the Syntrx II as a standard 3-oscillator monosynth
-The trapezoid (looping) envelope in practice
-All-analog signal path walkthrough
-Onboard 3-channel sequencer, DSP reverb and delay, envelope follower
FM, self-oscillation, noise modulation, and filter techniques
-Sample & hold circuit — how to set it up
-The joystick as an LFO / recording modulation source
-MIDI setup tips (offset fix, CC assignments for X and Y axes)
-Patch saving — what it DOES and DOESN'T save, and why it matters
-Honest pros and cons

🎵 Extended drone demo — 5 minutes of the Syntrx II running a single live patch with the trapezoid looping envelope, FM, noise, filter modulation via joystick, and DSP effects. The full version was over 10 minutes — it really is that good.

💷 Price context: Original EMS Synthis now sell for £24,000+. The Syntrx II comes in under £2,000. If you've ever wanted that Synthi sound without selling a kidney, this might be your answer."

BEAT GEMS - the new book on drum machines...


video upload by Bjooks

"Soon to launch on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

BEAT GEMS is a premium hardcover book from Bjooks that explores this remarkable history through rare and iconic machines, vivid photography, artist stories, technical insight, and the people who turned boxes of circuits into culture. The book explores more than six decades of electronic music history through the drum machines that changed the way music is made, recorded, and performed.

An inspiring and visually rich book for anyone interested in music technology, design, rhythm, and recording culture, this comprehensive work follows the evolution of drum machines from early experiments and preset rhythm companions to programmable icons, studio powerhouses, genre-defining classics, and the hardware revival of recent decades. The project structure already maps that story across eight major stages – from invention and standardization to creative misuse, programmability, studio control, genre definition, and rebirth.

The book presents comprehensive research, writing, editing, photography, and visual development by author Oli Freke and editor Kim Bjørn.

Erica Synths Introduces Resonant Filterbank


video upload by Erica Synths



Erica Synths new desktop Resonant Filterbank is set to ship on May 18th. Check with dealers on the right on price and availability.

Details via Erica Synths:

Desktop Resonant Filterbank is a performance and studio production-friendly FX unit - an analog stereo filterbank. It has a set of ten bandpass filters with hands-on control over each bands’ boost or cut and complex control configurations that can turn it into an unconventional multimode filter with an envelope follower and an instrument on its own when played with various resonance settings or even an experimental sound generator for no-input mixer-like setups.

You can use it with synthesizers, drum machines, modular setups and thanks to an analogue GAIN STAGE that boosts incoming signals up to +24dB, with guitars and pretty much any other instrument. This is a tool that can let you discover entirely new sounds from the instruments you thought you knew inside-out.

User snapshots (presets), MIDI control over all parameters and a sleek aluminium case to match our lineup of compact desktop units will make the Resonant Filterbank and integral part of many studio and live performance setups.

"An intuitive, classically-styled drum machine with 7 sample-based voices and a CV/gate sequencer, the Bullfrog Drums is a great tool for learning drum programming, sampling techniques and live performance, all in a compact and sturdy form factor."
not what I expected. At all.

Easter Perfourmance MkII


video upload by Tim Shoebridge

"Happy Easter! Here in the UK we get a 4-day weekend, such a wonderful treat. For the very first time this year I've actually had enough spare time to sit in my studio for an hour, just relax, look around for a synth I haven't played in ages, and noodle on a keyboard for the fun of doing it. This little snippet of music was the outcome, noodling on a very special synth, the Vermona Perfourmer MkII. Effects are courtesy of two of my most favourite pedals, the Boss RE-202 and the Erica Synths Nightverb (well, the Nightverb is a desktop unit rather than a pedal but you get the gist!)"
