The Haas Zone Processor from Verbos Electronics is an analog clocked multi tapped digital delay bank with a VCO, Bandpass Filter and Envelope Follower. In this first demonstration video Mark Smith gets started with some of the many possibilities of the module. Included is a demonstration of the delay timing controls, feedback through the Bandpass Filter and some of the options using the normalled connections."

Introducing Haas Zone Processor

"Introducing Haas Zone Processor. In stores now.

Video by: ‪@coquinati_music‬

In 1951 Helmut Haas wrote the paper On the Influence of a Single Echo on the Intelligibility of Speech, describing the psychoacoustic effects of delay on sounds. Since the paper describes short delays, “The Haas Effect” generally refers to delays shorter than 50mS. The Haas Zone Processor enables the effects in this range, including chorus, flange, phase cancellation, doubling, ADT, waveshaping and others.

At the core is a multi-tapped digital Delay Bank largely influenced by vintage studio processors including the Marshall Time Modulator. Tap1 can be switched and swept from less than 1mS up to 20mS. Tap2 is chained from the output of Tap1, adding an additional 1mS-20mS. Tap3 ranges from 9-42mS. In addition to having their own full volume outputs, all 3 delay taps can be blended with the Dry input signal in a voltage controlled mixer.

Also included is a Bandpass filter built from a 2 pole hipass followed by a 2 pole lowpass. Bandwidth can be swept from very narrow all the way to full bandwidth. Frequency can be swept across the full audio range and voltage controlled through a bipolar attenuator.

To the left is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator, similar to the modulation side of a Complex Oscillator. Included is a Triangle, Square and Sawtooth wave that range from 0-10v. The Frequency can sweep from more than 1 minute per cycle all the way up to audio range and tracks volt/octave.
There is an envelope Follower on the input and both it and the triangle output from the Oscillator are normalled to the c.v. inputs on the Delay Time. The output of Tap3 is normalled to the input of the Bandpass filter and the output of the Bandpass filter is normalled to the Feedback In. Through tweaking the Delay Time, Oscillator Frequency and Bandpass Frequency multiple resonance points can be accentuated. The Haas Zone Processor is intended to be used as an effect, inside a patch as waveshaper or as a voice on its own."

"In this patch, both A and B rows from the Voltage Multistage 16 and Voltage Multistage 10 are summed together to create 52 steps of melodic variation."

Voltage Multistage 16 - Stack & Bark control

"Utilizing a relatively small set of modules, we try and extract as much as we can from the Sawtooth Stack via the Voltage Multistage 16."

Voltage Multistage 16 - Multi LFO

"Similar to our nested loops video [2nd one here], we have the ability to create multiple instances of unique LFO shapes, easily jumping between using stage selects and strobe."

Voltage Multistage 16 - Control Center

And the recap press release from SUPERBOOTH:

"SUPERBOOTH SUMMER SUN & SYNTHESIZER

SUPERBOOTH22 and SOOPERgrail welcomed around 6000 trade visitors, day guests and over 170 international exhibitors at FEZ-Berlin. In the year of the 20th anniversary of the Superbooth, for the first time innovative guitar builders were represented in larger num- bers and with their own exhibition space under the name SOOPERgrail.

The expanded concept of the largest trade event for electronic musical instruments in Europe has proven successful, and Superbooth Berlin GmbH has overcome the worst obstacles resulting from the Corona crisis. This clears the way for next year‘s planning - the date is set:
SUPERBOOTH23 and SOOPERgrail #2 at FEZ-Berlin: May 11-13, 2023. with even more innovative instruments and music, concerts, workshops, presentations, indoors and outdoors

Andreas Schneider: "For the anniversary version of Superbooth, as it turned out after all obstacles and difficulties, we can really only be grateful to everyone and congratulate everyone who was able to be there. The delicate little flower called #SOOPERgrail also made a successful start and the international events - above all the presentation with Hainbach for the Goethe Institute Tokyo and the partici- pation of Tom Oberheim and Dave Smith with their new instrument - were im- portant factors of culture and economy alike. We are already excited to see what will develop from this next year!"

The various areas of the anniversary edition each convinced with their very own at- mosphere, which always meandered between music festival, nerd get-together and a group trip with friends. The basis for relaxed encounters, lively exchange and a good mood was provided by the extended event area in the park, the large number of exhibi- tors and the summery weather.

Live:
The stage program represents an enormous variety of musical variation. Early electronic instruments such as the Trautonium were on display. Hainbach presented how electro- nic music was made by artists like Stockhausen in the 1960s, and many concerts fea- tured modular synthesizers, which can be seen as modern successors to the featured instruments. From the stages you could hear great live electronic music from ambient to techno, a lot of experimental and innovative works. Surprisingly for many guests, there was a performance by Richie Hawtin on the last day of the event.

The Modular Synthesizer Ensemble gave the mostly young participants their first stage experience with a composition they had previously developed together in a work- shop lasting several hours.
Within the framework of SOOPERgrail, there were many outstanding concerts and workshops, with individual instruments presented. In addition to traditional crafts, the artists and exhibitors also showed possibilities that enable expanded artistic expression. With the presented technologies, external devices can be controlled and microtonal music can be played.

The main stage for diverse guitar music was located in the circus tent. There was, among others, a blues concert by DobBroMan with spontaneous support from Thorsten Quaeschning of Tangerine Dream, the performance of Nagen & Kotzmann, who blurred the line between drone, ambient and free jazz, and Linalab, who brought along a drummer for her electronic post-rock, processed the sound of her electric guitar with a synthesizer, thereby ideally united the concepts of SOOPERgrail and SUPERBOOTH22.

Dokumentation:
The lecture-concerts (Gesprächskonzerte) recorded during the event are now available on Superbooth Berlin‘s YouTube and Vimeo channels, and the recordings of the other concerts will be released in the coming weeks.

Lecture-concerts are a combination of concert and presentation, where new inst- ruments are introduced in a concrete musical context. This year, legendary synthesizer manufacturer Oberheim made a comeback and presented a new instrument in this for- mat that, like its predecessors, seems to have the potential to become a classic.

We would like to expressly thank all exhibitors, artists, media representatives, trade vi- sitors and last but not least the numerous private visitors for their great support and the wonderful three days and are already looking forward to SUPERBOOTH23 and SOOPER- grail next year.

Save the date now: SUPERBOOTH23 and SOOPERgrail from May 11 to 13, 2023 at FEZ-Berlin!"
