UDO Audio DMNO Binaural Dynamic Synth Review - SonicLAB, Sample Pack
video upload by Sonicstate
Superbooth videos mentioned posted here.
"In this SonicLAB, we look into the @udo_audio UDO Audio DMNO, an 8-voice polyphonic binaural analog hybrid synthesizer with dynamic signal architecture.
The DMNO is sonically different from the Super Series, featuring a grittier, more aggressive sound. With dual synth engines, though each DMNO integrates the familiar Super DDS oscillators and custom wavetables and both support both stereo and binaural modes. With 8 voices total, when running two DMNOs in Binaural mode, in split or layer, that will reduce the voice count to 2.
The oscillators can cross mod and route with plenty of audio rate modulation , the LFO 1 also can run tracked and in Audio Rate mode too.
There's lots of configuration, routing and drive with the stereo analog filter, these have multiple modes, stereo, parallel and series routings with Frequency delta between each 'side' of the filters for some lovely formant and vowel like articulations.
Mod matrix has 7 slots plus two fixed routings for wheel and envelope velocity - perhaps the selection of source and destinations could be increased if the FPGA pathways allow for it, and it would be nice to see FX parameters as a destination at some point.
With EQ, Chorus and Drive per DMNO and a shared Delay/Reverb on send, there's some decent additional sound sculpting to be had.
Priced at £2,599, this synth gives an alternative to the other synths in the UDO range"

Macbeth Elements EL2 Analog Synth By Ken Macbeth SN 015
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing

"Up for sale is a super rare Macbeth Elements EL2 analog synth, hand-built by Ken MacBeth back in 2019 in extremely limited run of only 30 units, as said by himself - the best ever analog synth he ever built in his life… Described by him as “Elements on steroids, circuit wise”. Please do not mislead this with a regular silvers Elements - EL2 is one of a kind the way different unit. It features a striking black aluminium chassis, gold plated touch up keyboard and a very deep vintage style circuitry using through-hole components and 70’s vintage new old stock semiconductors and metal ICs. Three highly versatile discrete voltage controlled oscillators with individual audio outputs and advanced sync capabilities, classic architecture with subtractive signal path featuring unconventional filter slopes, a built-in spring reverb and a tape echo simulator. All this mixed up with a wide-ranging modulators and large tactile potentiometers for deep sound sculpting. Also, Ken decided to completely remove MIDI support making the priority to CV: he noted that most musicians use the instrument with Control Voltage and modular setups anyway. Removing MIDI parts freed up physical space and optimised the pure analog circuitry. VCO1 and VCO2 now get their own knobs instead of sharing just one. New spring reverberation circuit in EL2 provides a much deeper, different sound than the first model. Cross-modulation expanded as well: VCO3 syncs to VCO2 and VCO2 can now syncs to VCO1 directly. Of course, inspired of the legendary EMS Synthi, but ones you came across both in one room - you will definitely can’t choose which one is better here. EL2 will be never produced again and it’s already a holy grail in the world of analog synths. This exact one is number 15 of 30. Comes with the original power supply. Everything you can see in the pics is included in that sale. Was a beloved studio toy, but now it’s time to go! In excellent overall and technical condition. Please see all pics cause they are a part of description. Free shipping within the US from Brooklyn, NY. International shipping from Brooklyn, NY to any place in the world with a tax free service."

Chase Bliss BIG TIME Delay Showcase | Sound Demo (feat. Modal Element One) @ChaseBlissAudio
video upload by Davide Puxeddu
"A pure audio demonstration of the Chase Bliss Big Time hybrid analog/digital echo, utilizing the newly released Modal Electronics Element One virtual analog synthesizer as the main sound source.
No talking, just hardware.
Designed in collaboration with John Snyder of Electronic Audio Experiments (EAE), the Chase Bliss Big Time is a true-stereo hybrid echo that revisits the mixed-up, unique circuitry found in rackmount delays from the early 1980s. In that era, advanced analog engineering was functionally used to prop up crude digital systems. The Big Time intentionally embraces and pushes this hybrid architecture to its absolute extremes.
This video showcases how the Big Time's interactive controls and dual stages of analog coloration transform incoming synthesizer signals:
• Stereo Analog Preamp (Color): Adds beautiful, warm saturation to the input stage, designed to handle a wide variety of instruments.
• Feedback Loop Limiter (State): An analog clipping limiter in the delay path that creates everything from smooth compression to crumbling, misbiased overdrive that slowly disintegrates your echoes.
• Cluster Slider: Blends in additional delay taps and diffusion, smudging and expanding the sound into rich ambient delights and multi-tap clusters inspired by vintage space station units.
• Scale & Motion: Controls creative transposition, Thermae-like musical sequencing, and stereo modulation (Sine, Square, Envelope).
Watch how the Big Time's motorized faders react and seamlessly transition through different delay modes—from tight modulations (3-46ms) to Short (46-736ms) and Long delays, across HiFi, Focus, Warm, and Analog voicings.
Providing the core audio tracking is the Modal Element One. Its 8-voice virtual analog engine, morphable filters, and rich stereo waveforms offer the perfect high-quality sonic canvas to test the Big Time's true-stereo capabilities, input saturation, and analog dry-thru.
🎧 Headphones or studio monitors are highly recommended to capture the full true-stereo imaging and analog character of the pedal.
Special thanks to Chase Bliss!"

Full MPE Firmware Test: 700 VOICE MPE Architecture with iPad Bluetooth MIDI
video upload by Gm Xe
"This video showcases the full MPE system firmware test for the 700 VOICE synthesizer.
All audio in this recording is generated directly from the 700FM VOICE module. We put the device’s MPE control system and native 700 VOICE MPE architecture through a comprehensive functional test.
We use an iPad as our controller, sending MIDI data wirelessly via Bluetooth MIDI for this evaluation.
Tested features cover all 4 dimensions of MPE expression, note quantization, key tracking playability, as well as MIDI CC mapping functionality.
The 700 VOICE MPE implementation supports slider modulation mapping for all available parameters, enabling independent modulation control for every polyphonic voice assigned to each individual touch gesture.
In this demo, we use slider controls to modulate Filter Cutoff (Index 3, Index 2, Index 1) and Oscillator 4 parameters.

EEH / SSB Banana 6-voice Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing
Ad scan below.
"In near mint condition, with factory MIDI. Voice boards and PSU recapped, calibrated. The autotune function has been deactivated because we have calibrated the filters to be able to self-oscillate and apparently that is incompatible with the autotune check on startup, but the synth is fully tuned. Copy of user manual (in german), schematics and docs included. 220V version.
The Banana is a 6-voice polyphonic synthesizer that, in terms of design, strongly resembles the famous Oberheim OB-Xa, but it is not an OB-Xa clone. It features an OB-Xa-like voice architecture with two CEM3340 VCOs, a switchable 24dB lowpass/highpass filter based on the SSM2044 chip, and CEM3360 VCAs and CEM3310 Envelope Generators for the six voices. This provides a rich, warm analog sound that is still relevant in modern music productions. The Banana allows for sound editing with the versatile 2 ENVs (envelopes), similar to those found in the OB-Xa, making it a powerful instrument for both complex soundscapes and powerful leads and basslines.
The Banana was produced in West Germany by Electronic Engineering Hoffmann (EEH), in collaboration with Synthesizer Studio Bonn (SSB), and it is the only synthesizer ever released by EEH and distributed by SSB. In 1983, Electronic Engineering Hoffmann (EEH) completed the development of the Banana in collaboration with Synthesizer Studio Bonn (SSB), the world’s first specialized synthesizer store, located in West Germany. SSB had already made a name for itself by creating custom sequencers, including the Synthorama, which was used by Kraftwerk to control their Minimoogs on the legendary Trans-Europe Express.
Production of the Banana ran from 1983 to approximately 1985, after which the synth was discontinued. Only 100 to 300 units were made. This makes it a particularly rare model for collectors or musicians looking for a unique synth.
This model offers a unique opportunity for the serious synthesizer enthusiast or collector who is searching for a rare instrument with historical value.
Don’t miss out on the chance to own a piece of synthesizer history!"

1. Swells Explorations | X-3: Shadow (No Talking Demo)
This is an exploration of Swells model X-3: Shadow2. Swells Explorations | Y-2: Asterion (No Talking Demo)
A classic sounding 'dark hall' reverb. This reverb sounds like a natural space, which makes it perfect for lots of different applications. But of course, being Swells, we can bend it and shape it for some more experimental patches too.
This is an exploration of Swells model Y-2: Asterion3. Swells Explorations | Z-1: Buckets (No Talking Demo)
Asterion is our 'gateway to the stars' - based on the architecture of a certain digital reverb unit from the 1980s. It brings out the lush sound of the original, but expands its capabilities through the medium of Swells.
This is an exploration of Swells model Z-1: Buckets
A matrix of BBD Delays that create a dark, noisy reverb. Oozing with character and grit, this reverb is great for complimenting all kinds of audio material, as demonstrated in these patches.

GreyScale-NewTune #kosmos2
video upload by plantssystem
"GreyScale returns with a new generative performance built on the evolving KOSMOS‑2 engine, this time in collaboration with the PS‑Vita–based Drum Stream DS‑8.
The pairing creates a bright, solid sonic architecture: KOSMOS‑2 drives fluid melodic motion and probability‑based phrasing, while the DS‑8 injects crisp digital percussion with a uniquely handheld character.
The result is a compact but highly dynamic system — a hybrid of embedded generative logic and portable drum synthesis — forming a sound that is unmistakably GreyScale: minimal, sharp, and constantly evolving.
Features highlighted in this release:
- Generative Engine — KOSMOS‑2’s expanded modulation paths and refined Euclidean behavior
- Hybrid Clocking — pulse‑driven interaction between sequencer and handheld drum module
- Bright Solid Timbre — DS‑8’s digital transients layered with KOSMOS‑2’s controlled harmonic drift
- Portable Performance Setup — a minimal rig producing a surprisingly wide sonic field
A fresh direction for GreyScale, and a glimpse into how compact devices can form a powerful generative ecosystem."

Beautiful Meltdowns | A Live Benjolin Exploration (feat. Bien Jolie ! & Starlight Echo Station)
video upload by Andre Bregegere
"Running Rob Hordijk's chaotic Benjolin architecture through lush, vintage stereo delays.
In this session, I explore the interaction between the Glou-Glou Bien Jolie! and the Universal Audio UAFX Starlight Echo Station.
The Bien Jolie! serves as the generative core of the performance, utilizing its interacting analog VCOs, XOR logic, and Rungler shift register to create highly unpredictable, cross-modulated textures. To capture and reshape these chaotic voltages, the stereo output is routed directly into the Starlight Echo Station, utilizing its various vintage echo-emulation engines (Tape EP-III / Analog DMM / Precision) to add depth, space, and rhythmic structural movement to the evolving patterns. I also added a filter (High and Low pass, patched between the Bien Jolie! and the Starlight) to tame extreme frequencies.
This performance was captured entirely live and is presented mostly unedited. The recording was then lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools.
🎧 Listening Note:
Because this setup relies heavily on wide stereo imaging, ping-pong delay repetitions, and complex analog filter modulation, headphones or studio monitors are highly recommended for the best listening experience."

Exploring the Chromaplane: Live Improv, Tuning Screws, & External Drones
video upload by Andre Bregegere
"A live, fully improvised performance exploring the unique architecture of the Koma Elektronik Chromaplane. This session is a deeper dive into the instrument's hands-on playability—including on-the-fly tuning—and external input processing.
On-screen captions are included in the first half to break down the basics of the instrument and explain exactly what is happening under the hood.
Performance Breakdown:
• The Core: Sound generation starts with the Chromaplane, interacting directly with its electromagnetic fields.
• On-The-Fly Tuning: Watch as I use the tuning screws mid-performance to shift pitches and reshape the harmonic foundation in real-time.
• The Expansion: In the final act, things get heavier as I introduce an external input—the gritty, texture-rich Triad drone/noise synth by DecadeBridge.
• The Space: The entire mix is processed through the Universal Audio UAFX Starlight Echo Station to pull the mono signal into an immersive, wide stereo space.
The performance was recorded live, then lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools.

"In this video, I’m asking a simple question: how extreme can the PWM MANTIS actually sound when you push it beyond its usual vintage-style sounds? We’ll explore its aggressive side using features like density, ring modulation, drive, and its OSCAR-style dual-filter architecture to see how far it can go into dark industrial and EBM territory. Then I put everything I designed to the test and push the MANTIS to its absolute limit.

UVI Introduces Rumble - The First Multiband Bass Synthesizer
Playlist:
1. UVI Rumble | Trailer
2. UVI Rumble | Showcase
3. UVI Rumble | Overview
4. UVI Rumble | Tips & Tricks
"Introducing Rumble, the first multiband bass synthesizer
Now available with intro offer at https://www.uvi.net/rumble
For the first time, discover a synth plugin that offers full control over the spectrum through three bands: Body, Character, and Air. With each band, a complete synthesis engine, achieving unmatched flexibility and precision in bass sound design."
"Rumble was designed to meet the needs of contemporary bass: the weight, punch, articulation, and movement that bass-led music demands. To deliver that, Rumble’s architecture treats each frequency band as a full synthesizer engine.
Body, Character, and Air each carry their own oscillator, wave-shaper, and effects, then converge through a shared filter stage, multiband compressor, and master EQ, to produce a powerful, unified voice.
The result is the first multiband synthesizer, built for bass from the ground-up. Layered sub-, mid-, and high-frequency content stays structurally separate, which means low-end weight, midrange definition, and top-end air can each be sculpted on their own terms.
The architecture itself goes deeper: vocal-formant synthesis, drone textures, percussive transients, cinematic motion, vintage analog warmth, all live within the same per-band approach.
The factory library is built by sound designers and genre-specialized producers, with a sprawling range of presets covering everything from 808s and wobbles to drones, motion sequences, and abstract textures.
Most synths give you one engine. Rumble gives you three."

Ableton Datashifter Max for Live Device
video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
"Most glitch processors treat rhythm as something to destroy. Datashifter takes a more controlled approach. It breaks the surface of percussion while preserving the force underneath.
Designed as an Ableton Max for Live device, Datashifter captures short fragments of incoming stereo audio into an internal memory system, then reads those fragments back through multiple voices. These voices can stutter, reverse, jump to earlier moments, or shift playback speed in octave based steps.
The result is not a simple repeat effect. It feels closer to a live editing system for drum time. The groove continues to move forward, while small pieces of its memory are rearranged, folded, interrupted, and returned to the beat.

"At Superbooth 2026 in Berlin, I sat down with George Hearn, founder and lead engineer of UDO Audio, outside a beautifully designed glamping tent that reflected the same attention to detail found in UDO’s instruments.
We started talking about the new DOMINO synth… but very quickly the conversation became something much deeper.
Minimalism in synth design. Playing synths for pure enjoyment. The state of flow. And the mistakes we make when thinking about creativity.

Redshift 6: Can This Analog Synth Replace Your VSTs?
video upload by Music Journey with Paul
"At Superbooth 2026, I spoke with Timo from Supercritical Synthesizers about one of the most ambitious analog polysynths on the market today - a unique 6-voice analog polysynth from Finland that takes a very different approach to synthesis.
With 96 analog oscillators, multi-timbral architecture, MPE support, evolving firmware updates and a variable character engine that can shift between different vintage-inspired flavors, Redshift 6 blurs the line between traditional analog hardware and modern software flexibility.
In this interview and sound demo we talk about who Redshift 6 is for, how its unusual interface works, the latest firmware innovations, and why some of its sounds might make you think you’re listening to a DX-style digital synth - even though the signal path remains analog.

https://plantssystem.github.io/KOSMOS...
"KOSMOS2 & KOSMOS‑ONE — Generative Synth Engines by plantssystemplantssystem introduces two new generative sound engines — KOSMOS2 and KOSMOS‑ONE — both built on the PRA32‑U2/M architecture and designed for compact hardware instruments.
They share the same musical DNA but serve different creative roles:
KOSMOS2 is a 4‑part autonomous generative system, while KOSMOS‑ONE is a minimal, single‑part generative engine optimized for small builds and embedded devices.KOSMOS2 — Four‑Part Generative EcosystemKOSMOS2 is a multi‑layer generative engine running on Raspberry Pi Pico2 or RP2040 hardware. It features four independent musical agents — Melody, Bass, Chord, and Sequence — each following its own rules while interacting within a shared harmonic framework.Key features:4 autonomous generative parts with deterministic behaviorPRA32‑U2/M synth engine running on Core1 with stable 44.1kHz I2S outputReal‑time control via TouchOSC or external MIDI CCScale, chord, arpeggio, and pattern generation with per‑part randomizationOptimized for RP2350 with improved DSP headroomDesigned for live performance and installation useKOSMOS2 makes its public debut at Hamamatsu Micro Maker Faire 2026, exhibited at the ISGK Instruments booth.
KOSMOS‑ONE — Minimal Generative Engine for Small HardwareKOSMOS‑ONE is a compact, single‑part version of the KOSMOS engine.
It is designed for ultra‑small hardware builds, micro‑instruments, and installations where simplicity and stability matter more than multi‑part complexity.Key features:Single‑part generative engine based on the KOSMOS2 architectureExtremely lightweight DSP load suitable for tiny microcontroller buildsDeterministic melodic generation with scale and mode awarenessIdeal for standalone sound objects, embedded synths, and minimal interfacesKOSMOS‑ONE preserves the musical character of KOSMOS2 while reducing the system to its most essential generative core.
TogetherKOSMOS2 and KOSMOS‑ONE form a modular family of generative engines — from full multi‑part generative performance to tiny embedded musical objects — all powered by the PRA32‑U2/M synthesis architecture."
