Arturia's new flagship synth on fire #superbooth2024

video upload by Mattias Holmgren

"Found a sweet patch on the Arturia Polybrute 12 that encouraged me to make this performance I call "The Depth of Mankind". Performed live at Superbooth 2024. Polybrute has so much expressive capabilities! 🥳 I first recorded the performance into the OP-1 field (as my recorder), so I had roughly 6 minutes to make something sweet. Halfway through I brought up the phone and filmed some of it. Then after the music performance was done I recorded some B-shots for the video since I liked the groove that was going. 🍿🔥

So there you have it. "The Depth Of Mankind". Hope you enjoy the performance.

Thanks,
// Mattias Holmgren from a Hotel in Berlin. 😄

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Xaoc Devices - Berlin Wide Range Oscillator

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024 we met up with Lukasz from Xaoc Devices who unveiled their new* Berlin* module.* Berlin* is an extemely wide range VCO module ranging from 30 seconds up to 250 kHz. That range is wide! It uses the Leibniz Binary Subsystem interface and can be used as an extremely widerange clock source allowing for manual and voltage control over all parameters. Berlin outputs simultaneous square and saw/Leibniz wave outputs and when combined with the Liebniz Subsystem allows for extensive waveshaping.

Berlin Price: 220 Euros"

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Korg Berlin - Acoustic Synthesis Phase 8

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024 we met up with Lukas from Korg Berlin who gave us a lovely outdoor look at a prototype synth, *Acoustic Synthesis Phase 8*, their latest attempt to create an instrument that sits between the worlds of acoustic and electronic instruments.

At the heart of ASP-8 are several individual resonators that form the basis of the sound of the instrument, and these work with the capacitive pickup which works like a condenser microphone. Not only can you interact with the resonators physically, you can interact electronically through the synthesizer itself. There's an onboard 8-step sequencer that can trigger and change the settings of the resonators as you go.

There are two basic playing modes, hammer mode for short, plucky sounds, and each resonator gets independent tone and time controls, where time acts like a basic decay envelope. In wave mode, the time controls switch to affecting the attack time, which leads to more pad-like, slow soundscapes. Lukas explained this will probably be the last prototype before this instrument is released in its final form, which Korg Berlin hope will happen at Superbooth 2025.

PERCUSSA INTRODUCES XMX EURORACK MODULE AT SUPERBOOTH 2024

Press release follows:

Los Angeles, CA, May 14th 2024 - PERCUSSA is set to return to Superbooth and is introducing its new eurorack module to the market, the XMX, at Superbooth 2024 in Berlin, this week.

"The XMX is the smaller brother of our succesful SSP (super signal processor) eurorack DSP module, which has found its way into recording studios and live on stage around the world over the past years, enabling eurorack modular synthesists to build compact and powerful systems, for sound design, synthesis, effects processing, recording and live performance", says Bert Schiettecatte, Founder of PERCUSSA.

With the XMX, PERCUSSA aims to make the synthesis and effects modules and features of the SSP available to a wider audience at an affordable price and smaller form factor.

The XMX is available through PERCUSSA's website at an introductory price of $499, starting on May 16th, the first day of Superbooth 2024. PERCUSSA plans to start shipping the XMX in early July. Eurorack dealers wishing to stock the XMX are welcome to contact PERCUSSA for dealer pricing and ordering.

Similarly to the SSP, the XMX combines a number of functions into one module:
* a digital modular synthesizer engine with built in patching system
* a multichannel direct to disk recorder / sampler / playback engine
* a multichannel audio interface via USB
* MIDI-to-CV conversion for USB MIDI controllers
* preset management system

Hardware wise, the XMX has the following specs:
* 28 HP width, less than 30mm deep
* ~500mA @ 12V, ~100mA @ -12V, no 5V supply needed
* aluminium CNC machined and anodized front panel
* 4 aluminium knobs/encoders with push button feature
* 8 audio/CV/trigger inputs, +/-5V
* 2 audio/CV/trigger outputs, +/-5V
* stereo headphone output with analog volume control
* all I/O 24bit resolution and 48/96kHz sample rate
* 10 function keys with soft touch and silent action
* 2.4inch full colour IPS wide angle/visibility display
* quad core ARM Cortex A35 CPU @ 1.3GHz running Linux (64-bit)
* USB 2.0 Host and Device ports for MIDI (including MPE) controllers and multichannel USB audio
* microSD card slot
* expansion connector w/ I2C port

The XMX ships with nearly all of the SSP's factory modules, including:
* 3D wavetable oscillator
* stereo reverb
* simple and stereo delay
* granular
* 8 channel sample player
* step sequencer
* arpeggiator
* quad virtual analog (SVF) filter with HP/BP/LP/PK/NT outputs
* comb filter
* physical modelling drum/membrane
* signal switcher
* quad VCA
* bit crusher
* macro module
* envelope generator
* quad envelope follower
* bus
* USB midi input w/ MPE support
* LFO and audio rate square/sawtooth/triangle/sine oscillators
* input and output including USB audio channels
* variable frequency noise generator
* microtonal quantizer
* DC voltage generator
* waveshaper

The XMX uses the same preset format as the SSP. Users can build and save patches on the XMX and exchange patches with SSP users.

The XMX comes with a fast microSD card and factory firmware and boots from microSD similarly to the SSP. The XMX allows the user to build patches including multiple instances of the above modules in any combination. The XMX runs the same software as the SSP, with an improved and simplified patching system.

The XMX supports the same open source plugin SDK as available for the SSP, which 3rd party developers can use to develop their own plugins. The XMX is a linux platform and just like the SSP, also supports development of standalone software which can replace the factory firmware.

Additionally, The Technobear, one of PERCUSSA's active community members and SSP users, has developed an alternative firmware for the XMX called Trax, which he plans to release over the coming months. He has also adapted his popular plugins for the SSP, to run on the XMX, and will be presenting his work in a video to be released during Superbooth.

With the XMX, PERCUSSA brings the power of the SSP to a wider audience, in a smaller form factor and an affordable price point. Come by the PERCUSSA booth at Superbooth 2024 for a personal explanation and demo from Bert Schiettecatte, Founder of Percussa.

KORG Advances Development of Acoustic Synthesis_phase8

You can find demos of KORG's Acoustic Synthesis_phase8 from last year's SUPERBOOTH in previous posts here.

via KORG:

"Acoustic Synthesis_phase8 is KORG Berlin’s latest development prototype that showcases the new Acoustic Synthesis technology.

What is Acoustic Synthesis_phase8

- It’s an acoustic instrument that is part melodic synthesizer, part drum machine
- 8 independent electromechanical voices
- Sequencer with polyrhythmic shifting
- Waveshaping, Tremolo and EG control
- Replaceable and tunable resonators
- Mechanical sound shaping possibilities

What is Acoustic Synthesis?

Acoustic Synthesis unites the sonic richness of real physically vibrating bodies with electronic control.

Why is it special?

Think the strings of a guitar, keys of a xylophone or the air in a flute; embedded into electronic synthesis. Our efforts merge the physical world with electronics to make instruments that act and feel alive.

Groc Synth - Pre-Superbooth Patch Tour

video upload by oddment audio

"We are flying to Berlin today for Superbooth 24! Come and see us at table Z064.

We just announced a pre-order list for a small, refundable fee, so no reason to wait...order your Groc now and it will ship in 2025! @c1sao3nbvzbvdohqm6thci5coji5ml

Groc is still in development which means the list of parameters available is growing and changing over time. With a touch screen we can keep iterating on the most intuitive ways to offer these secondary parameters. In this video I take a tour and play with some patches I made with the current set of parameters and modulators. We have also made a lot of progress on offering multiple layers. We plan to offer four that can be used as a multi-timbral synth, a multi-track looper and all kinds of other combinations."

Hans Zimmer 'RadioPhonic' Synth @ Superbooth 24 w/ AJH Synth

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"Hans Zimmer's 'RadioPhonic' Synth from AJH Synth @ Superbooth 24 - This monster MiniMod Eurorack modular system was commissioned by Hans himself, and he was kind enough to allow us to build a limited number of exact replicas which will be individually built to order by AJHSynth. Full details of the system, along with an interview with Hans Zimmer about his use of the MiniMod system, can be found at https://ajhsynth.com.
We will have one such RadioPhonic system on display in our bungalow at Superbooth 24, along with a MinMod Keyz, a 9U full system, and a huge monster case full of AJH modules.
Richard Quirk, and Wayne Taylor (DreamsOfWires/Tomorrow the cure) will also be there representing AJH with Allan J Hall himself. We'd be glad to chat about the modules and demonstrate some in action, so feel free to pop by.

The AJH SYNTH Eurorack 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.

Plinky Chords and Touch - Fragile melancholic sounds

video upload by Making Sound Machines

"Preparing for Superbooth Berlin 2024, which is coming up next week!

We've been busy this year coordinating with mmalex to bring Plinky kits back to @ThonkSynthDIY, and here's a little clip to show why we are so excited about it!

#Plinky is an #expressive polyphonic #synthesizer, with 64 pads arranged as 8 strings you can manipulate in pitch, timbre, and velocity with the #touch of your fingertips. It has a #lush verb and #beautiful delay, making it ideal for #fragile, #melancholic sounds. It can be used #standalone or as a 24HP module.

It is seen here receiving a #sequence of #chords via #MIDI, performed on our #Stolperbeats drum sequencer for #Eurorack. Enrica is altering the chords by changing the MIDI maps on the fly, and playing a melody on the touch #surface at the same time. The small desktop case is a @4msCompany #pod, the output module @apolloview9305 Can-2 - both incredibly handy for small #mobile setups.

Plinky is #opensource and has seen great #hardware tweaks and improvements to the build experience, contributed by us and friends and fellow synthmakers @thisisnotrocketscience3942, @lpzwmodules and @nevetsokyeron - the newest Rev 3 Kit has more pre-assembled parts, USB-C, an improved signal path and TRS MIDI on-board.

Come play Plinky at our booth Z361 at #Superbooth, 16-18 May 2024 at FEZ #Berlin.

Plus we are having two workshops:

At the Superbooth #DIY Area on May 18, 11:00
and at #DIYKitDay @klunkerkranich4643 on May 19, 16:00,
organized by Andreas Krach and @berlinmodularsociety"

SUPERBOOTH24 Program Schedule

Press release follows:

The SUPERBOOTH BERLIN is excited to finally announce its performance and work- shop programming for this year’s SUPERBOOTH24.

After the record-breaking SUPERBOOTH23, the latest edition of the world’s largest trade fair and festival for electronic musical instruments is happening from the 16th to the 18th of May 2024 at FEZ-Berlin.

As a “trade fair with the spirit of a festival”, the Superbooth presents the latest products and technical developments in the realm of synthesizers and studio technology with over 250 exhibitors from all over the world, while also offering a comprehensive cultural program that celebrates the culture and joy of electronic music-making.

Over 30 international artists will be performing on three outdoor stages (including the new “Strandbar” stage) as well as two indoor stages for presen- tations and lectures. On the lineup for SUPERBOOTH24 are artists as varied as the Oscar award winning Hildur Guðnadóttir, the popular club performer Stimming, the Live-Techno artist and Lady Gaga collaborator Lady Starlight and the modular expert TamiX hailing from China.

The full performance program can be found over at www.superbooth.com under the rider “Events”.

Aside from these musical performances, there will also be workshops offe- ring an introduction to the world of modular synthesizers (including one specifically for women and nonbinary people), DIY Workshops, and numerous lecture concerts in which popular brands like Bitwig, UDO Audio und Korg Berlin will be personally demonstrating their latest products.

The SUPERBOOTH is always trying to create an open and welcoming space in which everyone that is interested can learn and experience. Part of that is the MINIBOOTH for children and teenagers, which offers adolescents a playful look into the world of electronic music-making and was already a fully sold-success last year. The MINIBOOTH will be happening as its own event on the weekend be- fore Superbooth, from the 9th to the 12th of May.

Those looking for a refreshment between this dense schedule will also be happy with the Superbooth’s comprehensive catering offering. New this year is a rooftop area located on the top of the FEZ-building with a bar, allowing visitors to end the evening in a relaxed atmosphere with a great view. And as always, there is also the idyllic „Bungalowdorf” located in the forest surrounding the FEZ.

As a mix between a trade fair, international scene meeting, conference and festival, the Superbooth is a forward-looking event that combines different aspects to create a unique space for musical encounters and experiences.

Pre-sale tickets are available over at www.superbooth.com under the rider “Tickets”. A three-day ticket is 98 euros (reduced: 79 euros), a one-day ticket is

39 euros (reduced: 29 euros). As always, there will also be a ticket box office at the event. We recommend arriving by public transport (S-Bahn station Wuhlheide), as parking opportunities near the event location are limited.

Kabuki - live at SUPERBOOTH23

video upload by Superbooth Berlin

"Kabuki already played at the Superbooth in 2019. In 2023 he plays the beach stage on Saturday with an ambient set fitting for the first drink of the day. His album „No Maps for these Territories“ already gave a foretaste to the sound of his performance: somewhere between minimal music, jazz and electronica.
