For those attending Superbooth, they will be in booth Z380.

"Elastic OSC, a Plaits-based macro-oscillator synthesizer, is finally coming to desktop. It’s one of the few synths available across all major platforms: macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android.

Elastic OSC is an 8-voice polyphonic macro-oscillator synthesizer based on the open-source code of Mutable Instruments Plaits. Its core idea is simple: powerful sound design reduced to just four main parameters - Frequency, Harmonics, Morph, and Timbre. These parameters shape the sound across all 24 oscillator models, allowing for dramatic changes with minimal effort."

Plinky's Arp Sequencer Explained

video upload by Nathan Plante Synths

"In this video I go through all of the arp related parameters on Plinky and also show you three different patching ideas for arps. The arp system isn't nearly as deep as some of the other major systems on Plinky, but there is still a lot of creative potential to be unlocked here. This is the last major system on Plinky that I haven't yet covered, so it's high time that this video got made. Thanks to all the viewers who requested this in the recent poll!

Fieldtone Weaver
Gene Synths GX

What a great combo for instant glitch and lofi melancholy.

Some slight reverb and delay added in the mixer but otherwise clean.

The Weaver is so intuitive and you can instantly get it to play nicely with your gear. Here I sampled the short notes off the GX at the start then just played over the Weaver doing its thing. Sampling the notes you’re going to play means that whatever gets thrown out by the random algorithms will be in tune. That’s why I was able to just twist the knob and go with whatever it gave me.

Great way to spend a Sunday recovering from jet lag 😀"

Patching @ 3am - Live Rig Tour

"In this episode I will be talking about performing live with modular synths and other stuff. Starting at 2pm PST."

The FOURM — Here's What It Can Do

video upload by Starsky Carr

"I've spent months building a full 128-patch sound bank for the *Sequential FOURM*, and this is your chance to hear it in action.

The bank includes 50 bass tones (covering everything from deep analogue subs to punchy, cutting leads), classic Prophet-5 patches, and a wide range of sounds designed to be genuinely usable in a mix straight out of the box.

The FOURM isn't trying to be a Prophet-5 or a Pro-One — and that's the point. It can go places those synths simply can't.

All patches are demonstrated dry and some with a simple reverb or chorus to demonstrate what it would sound like in a mix. So what you hear is the real character of the synth.

Download the pack and add your own reverb, delay, or chorus and they open up even further.

✅ Mix-ready sounds designed for real music production
✅ 50 bass tones + leads, pads, keys & classic analogue voices
✅ Prophet-5 inspired patches reimagined for the FOURM
✅ In sysex and SoundTower formats
✅ Full 128-patch bank — one complete sound library"

A Rare First Listen: Four Classic Oberheims

video upload by Jose's Vintage Keys

"I was lucky enough to borrow three beautiful vintage Oberheims from a good friend. Together with my own OB-X, that gave me the rare chance to put four classic Oberheim polys side by side: the OB-X, OB-Xa, OB-8 and EVS.

This is not a polished shootout or a scientific comparison. It is simply a first impression, a first test after the synths came back from major servicing. Just playing, listening and enjoying that unmistakable Oberheim sound.

Huge thanks to my friend for trusting me with these incredible instruments. I’m a lucky man.

In this video:

Four legendary Oberheims in one room. What a sound."

༄ 🜃 𝑾𝑨𝑳𝑷𝑼𝑹𝑮𝑰𝑺𝑵𝑨𝑪𝑯𝑻 🜃༄ /// Ambient Jam w/ Polygene II & Torso S4

This Drum Machine Isn't Normal!

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"At Superbooth two years ago, as I was walking the halls I felt a hand on my shoulder and a voice said “oscillator sink, let me show you my groovebox”.

Now whatever gets conjured in your mind when you hear the phrase “groovebox” is probably not the Drop from Mad Sound Factory, but after a few minutes of patching and turning knobs I had it generating extremely aggressive gabber, and naturally I was hooked and named it one of my synths of the show.

In this video we’ll get to know Drop, how it works, how it sounds, how it plays with others - including a discussion of how to get banana jacks and euroracks to talk. As the video is long (because of course it is if it’s on my channel), I’ve added chapter markers throughout, and scattered some small no-talking demos throughout, both with drop as a solo instrument, and in ensemble with other instruments.

Transparency notice: Mad Sound Factory kindly sent the Drop to me for free for the purposes of making videos about it. I get to keep the unit, but no other payment was made for making the video and MSF have been given no editorial oversight for this video.

Cuckoo Introduces the SVENSSON 49 Looping Keyboard by AUXY

I gave the new SVENSSON 49 keyboard my sound signature! Dream collab with AUXY!
video upload by True Cuckoo

"Everything about the new SVENSSON 49 keyboard by AUXY, in this friendly Tutorial."

"Svensson 49 is a digital keyboard with expressive sounds, a playful looper, and a personality of its own.

No menus to dive through. No manual to read before you start. Just play, loop, and explore your musical ideas.

Svensson uses a mix of samples and wavetables to generate sounds that range from acoustic to synthetic, with a special focus on everything in between.

The sounds are designed by Cuckoo. We love how much care he puts into making his sounds feel colorful and expressive, and how naturally he blends synths with pianos and other acoustic instruments.

Loop and Layer
Svensson keeps track of the notes you play, so you don’t have to hit record before you start. If you like what you just played, hit Loop to capture it.

The four sound categories are also separate parts that can be looped individually. Loops can be as long as you want, and you can add as many layers as you want.

Build Quality
Svensson has a metal body with solid oak sides and is manufactured in Germany. It uses a Fatar keyboard with 49 semi-weighted, velocity-sensitive keys.

The built-in speaker is custom-made by Swedish speaker guru Ingvar Öhman. It's surprisingly loud and lets you play so other people can hear without additional gear. Perfect for living room jams.

Connections
Sustain pedal
Stereo line out
Headphones
USB-A for class-compliant audio and MIDI
USB-C for power and data

Availability
We're on the final stretch of getting Svensson ready for production. The price is not fully locked in, but expected to be around 899 EUR / 999 USD.

Preorders for the first limited batch will start soon. The first units will ship to customers in early fall 2026."

Morphor ECHON 6 #1 | Winterdagen

video upload by Winterdagen

"I feel like I'm in synth heaven these days. I was lucky enough to get my hands on the new ECHON 6 from Morphor, which is a gorgeous sounding, super unique synth: a 6 voice polyphonic analogue BBD resonator synthesizer. Yep, that's quite the mouth full. In a nutshell it's one part analogue poly synth, one part analogue BBD chip physical modeling synth.

I've been a big fan of physical modeling kind of synths for some time, and Morphor's take on this concept is the most special one I've come across so far. I know this type of synthesis mostly from either quite complex plugins, or Eurorack stuff such as Rings and Surface. Morphor has managed to take this concept into an analogue desktop format and it's super special. In this little sketch I'm exploring quite typical karplus-strong like plucks, but feeding in some sine wave oscillator, having full ADSR control over the the exciter, and having BBD chips as resonators, makes for a super expressive sound.

Apart from its amazing sound, ECHON 6 is also beautifully built. One of the most sturdy, smooth and well built synths I have ever come across. One of its superpowers is that it also has an absolutely amazing and intuitive modulation section, which I'll tell you more about in some following videos (I've been making a lot!). Thanks so much for letting me explore this beauty, Morphor!

Giorgio Sancristoforo's Homework Now Available

You find demos in previous posts here.

Details via Giorgio Sancristoforo:

"Homework is an experimental modular standalone workstation.
A four tracks portastudio-like cassette recorder with granular, reverb, echo and saturation effects, plus two classic modular synthesizers of the 70s.

The synths integrate with the tape recorder and the effects, thanks to a generous number of patch points placed directly on the recorder panel. Homework is a powerful electronic experimental echo-system where fantasy is the only real limit and vintage warm sound is paramount!

THE EYE OF HORUS
is a modular synth carefully modelled after the west coast paradigm with some peculiar features like two Tropical Additive Synthesis Oscillators, a Hybrid Putney Filter, a Triple Variable State BP Filter, a Tropical Shaper, a Comparator and a double sequencer and clock.

Like the 1970s models which inspired it The Eye Of Horus is wild, organic and warm!

SONDA
is a modular synthesizer designed for drones, and inspired by the instrument popularized by the French composer and synthesist Eliane Radigue. Five multi-waveforms oscilaltors, two multi-mode variable state filters/resonators, two modulators/amplifiers, one LPF 24 dB filter, a 7 channel mixer and a special very slow triple low frequency oscillator.

Available for Mac OS (M processors suggested) at giorgiosancristoforo.net"

Introducing the Body Synths Laboratory

video upload by Body Synths



"The Body Synths Laboratory is a dual-channel effects processor and feedback synthesizer.

Four feedback paths sit at the core of the Laboratory. Route signals, control delay repeats, or add gritty textures. Push them far enough, and the system enters self-oscillation—even with no input. From there, every control reshapes the feedback into anything from subtle drones to harsh noise madness.

Each channel features three voltage-controlled effects: gain, delay, and filter. Run the channels in series or in parallel. Push signals from silence to amplification with the Gain control. Drive the Delay into dirty territory at longer times—we’ve used that famous karaoke machine delay chip. Combine both channels to create multi-tap or ping-pong echoes.

The Resonant Filter provides Low-Pass and High-Pass modes. Chain the two channels in series to create Band-Pass responses. A final clipping stage at the end of each channel adds compression and distortion when driven to extremes.

We’ve also included a global Modulator that can operate as either an Envelope or an LFO, with two positive and two negative CV outputs. Patch them to build effects like tremolo, vibrato, chorus, moving stereo filter sweeps, modulated delays—it can get pretty wild.

The Body Synths Laboratory is being developed in collaboration with Andrey from the Berlin-based pedal company akkusativ.
