Soundfreak Modular is an Italian modular synthesizer brand dedicated to bringing the classic EMS VCS3 synthesizer into the Buchla 4U format, officially licensed by EMS.
During Superbooth 2026 in Berlin, Soundfreak Modular hosted an invite-only side event. Huge thanks to brand ambassadors MAD and Fang-Yu for making it possible for me to attend, and for so enthusiastically walking me through Soundfreak's synthesizers. I learned so much.

At the end of the video, founder Alina Kalancea and another artist in attendance also give live demos.

It was a true honor to be at the Soundfreak Modular gathering, soaking in the charm of 4U EMS-style synthesis along with the rooftop views over central Berlin.

PPG 1002 Synthesizer Black Edition

video upload by Cornel Hecht

"Only three Black Editions exist within the total production run of 102 PPG 1002 synthesizers. An all-black finish, larger control knobs, and refined analog VCOs and LFO bring a distinctive touch to this reissue while preserving its vintage character. www.ppgsynth.com"

"Three instruments worldwide.
One of them could be yours.
A SPECIAL PIECE OF PPG

Some instruments are chosen for more than their sound. They embody a history, a distinctive aesthetic, and the joy of having something special in front of you.

The PPG 1002 Black Edition is one such instrument. Limited to just three units worldwide, it combines the distinctive analog PPG sound with a design exclusive to this edition.

Finished entirely in black, with black anodized 3D side panels featuring the PPG logo and larger control knobs, the PPG 1002 reveals a new side of its personality. Clean, striking, and carefully considered down to the last detail.

An instrument to play, explore, and treasure.

Further refinements have been made under the hood: both analog oscillators have been optimized once again to bring out the authentic PPG sonic character."

1. Cherry Audio | Introduction to Pentaphonic with Mike Martin
2. Cherry Audio | Translucent Presets for Pentaphonic Synthesizer

"Cherry Audio's Pentaphonic synthesizer revives the ultra-rare polyphonic hybrid synthesizer originally developed by Gleeman Instruments in 1981. With fewer than 70 units ever produced, this synthesizer is legendary for its rich tone, distinctive design, and pioneering sequencing capabilities. This emulation faithfully reproduces the lush sound of its digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) and analog-filter architecture while capturing the visual essence of the synthesizer "made to be seen, not just heard."

https://cherryaudio.com/products/pent... Cherry Audio has taken its capabilities to new heights with expanded polyphony, expressive performance, polyphonic and parameter sequencing, and a library of studio-quality effects. Our visual makeover offers a choice of stunning designs inspired by the various looks it sported during its brief existence."

Cherry Audio Pentaphonic: A rare synthesizer masterpiece reborn

video upload by CatSynth TV

"CatSynth presents a deep dive into the new Pentaphonic from our friends at Cherry Audio. This is a recreation of the extremely rare Gleeman Pentaphonic synthesizer, complete with its unique look featuring crystaline transparent knobs and a translucent body. The Pentaphonic was an analog polyphonic synth with a few twists, including three digital oscillators with microcontroller-generated waveforms that were fed into an analog Steiner Parker filter. We explore the emulation of these unique features as well as Cherry Audio's enhancements for modulation, effects, and motion. We also check out a few of the factory and expansion-pack presets.

Scanner: Library - Robins Sound Design Preset Tour

video upload by Soniccouture

"Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), plays some of the presets he designed for Scanner: Library and talks about his sound-design process."

https://www.soniccouture.com/en/produ...

A Personal History Of Sound
Scanner and Soniccouture have collaborated to develop a custom tool to utilise his huge personal tape archive, documenting an entire sonic life and career.

Stripped back to the basics, Scanner: Library is a bold experiment in the power of layering sound. With such a diverse and characterful archive to draw upon, it was imperative that the interface would tread lightly.

Three modules with basic envelopes + filters, a delay unit and some custom reverbs. This setup gives over 10 million possible combinations of sounds gathered over a 40 year career.

Fragments, Loops & Possibilities
Scanner: Library features 401 original recordings + a library of 200 presets to get you started. Robin designed over 100 presets himself.

Most of the audio was recovered from cassette tapes, and features the famous police scanner recordings, electronic improvisations, location audio, analogue experiments and all manner of sonic ephemera.

HollowTone - Deep Ambient Worlds. Preview

video upload by Igor Vasiliev

"HollowTone is built on a simple but quietly ambitious idea: that a soundscape can be alive. Not just looping, not just evolving, but genuinely breathing as a world of its own. Instead of relying on samples or fixed recordings, it uses procedural audio, sound generated in real time through algorithms, to let each layer respond, shift, and intertwine like living matter.

Because every layer is synthesized at the moment you hear it, they can balance themselves, lean into each other, or gently collide in ways that feel organic and unpredictable. Mist, pulse, liquid motion, digital sparks, a whisper behind a veil - each one is its own environment, yet together they form a single, continuous dimension.

And that's the heart of HollowTone: a place where textures drift like fog, pulses echo through unseen structures, and strange atmospheres unfold with the quiet logic of dreamworlds and liminal spaces. You don't just listen to it. You step into it, and it keeps reshaping itself around you, endlessly."

4-Track Groovebox on the M-VAVE FM-1?! | Sloop Custom Firmware Jam

video upload by Noob Tones

"Turning the M-VAVE FM-1 into a 4-track groovebox with the Sloop custom firmware.

Sloop completely changes the FM-1 workflow, giving you a compact groovebox setup with 4 tracks — 3 synths and 1 drum machine, plus real-time performance controls and effects.

For this jam, I recorded the FM-1 into Logic Pro, then added a little extra analog character using Magma Channel Stripand Abbey Road J37 Tape.

The goal was to keep the performance feeling raw and live, while adding a bit more warmth, saturation, and tape-style texture in the final mix.

AstroLab 2.0: It's a Proper Synth Now?

video upload by Sineway

"AstroLab 2.0 goes straight at the biggest criticism of the AstroLab: that it's just a preset player, not a proper synth. The headline feature is Sound Edit, which gives you real synth parameters like envelopes, filter and glide right from the front panel, and you don't need a computer or the V Collection license to use it. So is the AstroLab still just a keyboard full of presets, or is it starting to become something else?

Arturia gave me early access to the update, so I've had time to dig into it before release. In this video I show how Sound Edit changes from preset to preset depending on the engine underneath, revisit the AstroLab vs MiniFreak question now that both instruments have changed, and play some of the presets in a musical context.

Oficina de Sonido Clave: A Fun and Portable Drum Sampler with Euclidean Sequencer

video upload by Limbic Bits

"Clave by Oficina de Sonido is a Euclidean Drum machine, a portable musical instrument with a percussion sequencer based on one-shot samples. Its strenghts lay less in complex and deep sound design but rather in fast results, spontaneity, and lucky accidents. I find it really fun to use and it is a great little device to take on stage or for spontaneous jam sessions."

Your LFO isn’t as boring as you think

"LFOs are classic synthesis building blocks. But just because your LFO creates classic waveforms, doesn’t meant you have to stick to using those. With a few simple techniques and tools, you can get a lot more creative. In this video I show how to make complex LFO shapes and modulation patterns."

Free Korg NX5R Editor Librarian | Web MIDI Patch Manager

video upload by Ian Dixon

"The Korg NX5R is a very 90s multitimbral sound module, and in this video I demonstrate my free browser-based editor and librarian for it.

The editor runs locally in the browser using Web MIDI, so there is no cloud upload or server-side processing. You can connect to the NX5R, read the user bank, browse factory and user sounds, manage multitimbral parts, edit program parameters, work with filters, envelopes, LFOs, effects sends and oscillators, then save libraries or export SysEx for later.

It is still a beta tool, but it already makes the NX5R much easier to use for sound browsing, patch editing and library management.
