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)"

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."

12 synths, drum machines, FX & innovations you need to know from Superbooth 2025

video upload by MusicRadar Tech

"For a few years now, Berlin’s Superbooth show has been a focal point for music technology gear announcements, but the 2025 iteration took this to another level. The sheer volume and variety of new music making gear on display in and around the FEZ event space was beyond anything we’ve seen in previous years.

MusicRadar was on the ground to test everything we could get our hands on. As the show drew to a close Managing Editor Si Truss, Reviews Editor Simon Arblaster and Tech Channel Editor Matt Mullen found a quiet corner in the woods to sit down for a roundtable (sans table) discussion about their highlights from the 2025 Superbooth show floor."

"Just got back from this year´s Superbooth in Berlin. Here are some of our highlights.
Frap Tools just might have dropped the polysynth of the year. Intellijel surprised us with a stunning desktop mixer.
Haken Audio & La Voix Du Luthier’s resonator turns any synth into an acoustic instrument—and Korg’s Phase 8 is finally production-ready. Superbooth 2025 came through!”

Moog Messenger demo @ Superbooth

"The new Moog Messenger upholds the brand's tradition in architecture, sound, and… price. At 849 euros, it’s hardly the most affordable monophonic synth on the market, but it’s an appealing choice for those seeking a Moog. It blends original Moog tradition with some newer features for a variety of sounds.

In the Messenger, you’ll find options like bass compensation when increasing resonance, wavefolding, continuously variable waveforms in the oscillators, FM between oscillators and to the multimode filter, a sub-oscillator that stands out with its variable waveform (almost a third oscillator), looping envelopes… With presets, a sequencer, and an arpeggiator, but without effects or polyphony, it left us particularly impressed with its robust and intuitive bass sound creation and transformation.

Wisely, Moog only teased partial details of the new Messenger two days before Superbooth 2025 kicked off, drawing a big crowd to their booth. Eight units were available to try in Berlin, where we got to showcase it. What do you think?

MAGNOLIA, one of the HIGHLIGHTS of Superbooth

video upload by Hispasonic

Click CC for subtitles.

"We went inside the Frap Tools booth at the Berlin Superbooth to explore the Magnolia, a polyphonic synthesizer that has caught everyone's attention.

Magnolia stands out for its unique architecture, with two oscillators that break with convention: a through-zero oscillator that allows analog linear FM, evoking the classic timbres of Yamaha's FM synthesizers, but in a 100% analog format. It also features a more traditional oscillator with octave controls, variable waveform and a wave folder to add richness and timbral complexity. Want metallic sounds or subtractive textures? Magnolia dares to do both.

This synth also impresses with its polyphony and bithermality, allowing everything from dense sounds in dual mode to splits and morphing between presets. Each voice features two independent filters (low pass and high pass), extensive modulations with synchronizable LFOs, dedicated envelopes and an effects stage that includes analog distortion and digital slots for delays and modulations (still under development), as well as a built-in sequencer and expressive controls such as aftertouch, expression pedals and modulatable panning.

In this video you will hear sound demos that show the versatility of the Magnolia, from expansive stereo leads to vibrant textures with delayed vibrato. We also tell you details about its release, scheduled for late 2025 at an estimated price of 3995 €.
