"*small batch - only 8 available - made from wenge/walnut/oak wood

ellitone.com

The ellitone lil' dream organ is a limited edition battery-powered polyphonic digital synthesizer with built-in amplified speaker.

Featuring 8 wooden Touch Bars, 16 oscillators, 8 selectable musical scales, and a collection of 50 waveforms to explore and blend using the ‘infinite tone’ knob. the lil dream organ is a fun and powerful electronic instrument capable of many tones and textures, simple enough for a youngster or beginner to operate.

Controls:

-‘infinite tone’ knob blends and mixes 2 separate layers of waveforms together. Each layer consists of 8 oscillators and each layer has its own unique selected waveform. As you turn the knob fully clockwise or fully counterclockwise, a new waveform is chosen from a collection of 50 waveforms and applied to one of the 2 layers. This means that you are infinitely blending in-between new combinations of waveforms continuously.

-musical scale select switches. 3 toggle switches at the top of the device are used to select one of the 8 musical note scales. These three switches operate using binary logic. With 3 switches, we have 8 unique combinations of switch positions (on/off/on…off/off/on…etc). Each one of these 8 possibilities selects a different musical scale to explore using the wooden Touch Bar keyboard notes.

BUCHLA Ziggy Sound DEMO & Walkthrough — Superbooth 2026

video upload by Hispasonic

"At Superbooth 2026, Buchla unveils Ziggy: their most portable and accessible analog desktop synthesizer to date. Filmed at the Buchla booth in Berlin, this video walks through the instrument's main features and includes a full sound demo.

Ziggy distills the DNA of classic Buchla instruments into a compact, immediately playable format: complex oscillator, modulation oscillator, Cycler (envelope + pulser, à la 208c), lowpass gate and a stereo digital effects section with a brand-new ping pong delay. All modulation routing — normally done with patch cables on a Buchla — is handled through flexible assignments from the panel and the oscilloscope screen.

KEY FEATURES
Fully analog signal path + digital stereo effects True analog bypass (voltage divider) when dry is at zero "Programs" designed as a starting point, not as closed presets Fader quantization to scales (pentatonic minor, etc.) Oscilloscope screen doubles as the programming and mod-assignment display

CONNECTIVITY
USB-C (power + MIDI) plus a second USB-C dedicated to power 3.5 mm TRS Type A MIDI and 5-pin DIN MIDI
Eurorack patch points: gate, modulation, pressure and 1V/oct
Aux audio input and stereo outputs

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY
$999 street price. Available for pre-order, first units expected late summer / early fall 2026"

Modal Electronics Introduces Element One

video upload by Davide Puxeddu

"Put on your headphones 🎧. This is a pure, no-talking sound demo of the brand new Modal Electronics ELEMENT ONE synthesizer, an 8-voice virtual analog powerhouse.

I had the incredible honor of participating in the development and sound design of the Element One (created alongside the Hartmann Design team). In this video, I am jamming with the factory presets—which are actually the very patches I designed for this synth! I’m exploring random sounds, tweaking them on the fly to show you the true sonic potential of its 64 oscillators, morphable filters, and stereo FX. Everything is played live using the 37-key aftertouch keyboard and 4-axis joystick."

Meet Ziggy, the new desktop instrument from Buchla!

video upload by Buchla

"Meet the Buchla Ziggy - a new instrument formed around the famous Buchla “complex oscillator.” With a new, “unpatched” instrument experience, Ziggy offers quick, gestural means of assigning modulation and composing music. Ziggy incorporates many of the Buchla innovations that have long been taken for granted: digital control over the analog audio, additive synthesis, unique and musical interactions, and the focus on making an “instrument” rather than a “synthesizer.”

All sounds in the video were made with the Ziggy!

What is Ziggy?

The Buchla Ziggy is a new instrument formed around the famous Buchla “complex oscillator.” With a new, “unpatched” instrument experience, Ziggy offers quick, gestural means of assigning modulation and composing music. Ziggy incorporates many of the Buchla innovations that have long been taken for granted: digital control over the analog audio, additive synthesis, unique and musical interactions, and the focus on making an “instrument” rather than a “synthesizer.” Ziggy modernizes and simplifies a familiar Buchla tradition: composing music in a style of synthesis often associated with the western coast of America. Like any musical instrument, it can be played on its own, crafting sequences and sounds from its unique arrangement of controls. It pairs very nicely with a portable keyboard like the Buchla LEM218, but It also plays with a large range of third-party devices and DAWs through MIDI, USB, and 1v/octave CV.

There are a number of unique ways to shape your sounds internally and externally. The Cycler is an original modulation source that acts like the combination of a clock, envelope generator, LFO and random generator. With it, you can modulate pitch and timbre and/or trigger the gate envelopes. Other modulation sources include an “extra” slow LFO and external MIDI control. Rather than using cumbersome patchcords, modulation is assigned with switch selection and dialed in with the encoder or its own associated sliders.The modulation oscillator acts as the primary modulation source at low frequency or audio rates to modulate the Complex Oscillator with AM or FM modulation, and is often blended as a second sound source. The Envelope for the Low Pass Gate (a combination amplifier/filter) can be shaped by selecting common envelopes and manipulated in time and amount, rather than attack, decay, sustain, release.

Creatively, it is easy to quickly make music and design sounds with Ziggy. Assigning modulation to different parameters is made with simple gestures of holding buttons and moving sliders. Surprise is certain, with a source of “uncertainty” available for the Cycler’s attributes. Sounds are easily saved with the simple preset system. Glowing LEDs indicate assignments and modulations. Its unique analog sounds are sure to delight and entertain. Special chaotic modulators can be accessed from the menus, driving the sounds in unusual ways. Scales and alternate tunings expand your musical universe while pitch sliders can be quantized to scales to make them melodically playable

Musically, Ziggy is versatile. With two analog oscillators, multiple modulators, a variety of tunings, envelopes, and wavefolding and shaping, there’s a variety of sounds to be made. While Buchla is often associated with the purely experimental, there’s strange strings, wonderful drums, exotic leads, plucky percussions, and deeply felt basses that can be synthesized from Ziggy.

Practically, Ziggy fits well in a small studio. The patchcord-free design, simple USB-C power, and comprehensive MIDI control makes it easy to add to your kit; its handsome, durable enclosure of oak and steel with classic Buchla style makes it belong. Configure the device through its simple menus or using a web browser and the web app.

Virtual Schmidt Synthesizer & "deck" controller Incoming

"The legendary Schmidt Synthesizer has been on the market for twelve years now and is used by many prominent musicians and studios.

After a year of development, we are excited to present the Schmidt Vi, the Schmidt synthesizer as a digital plugin, at Superbooth 26.

Through close collaboration with our partner UJAM, we have created an instrument that is sonically on par with the original Schmidt hardware.

In addition, we are introducing the virtual instrument deck, on which sounds created on the Schmidt can be played. These sounds can be manipulated using simple, Minimoog-style controls.

The Schmidt Vi and Schmidt deck will be available in mid-2026 as VST3, AU and AAX.

Prices for the plugins will be announced in due course."

Genki's CEO On How The €4990 KATLA Synthesizer Was Made

video upload by mylarmelodies

"Here's how KATLA was made - recorded at the Synth & Pedal Expo London (plus sounds at the end!). Katla is a unique synth - inspired by a titanic volcano in Iceland, with a huge gritty vibey sound. It literally has volcano in it(!) And after this interview, I thought about it a lot. Because behind the scenes, I've been working on a product and so much of what Óli said here resonated with my own experiences. I was really struck by how open, candid and frank Óli was, and I think there's huge value in learning from their journey. Hope you find this interesting!

Note that there was the Hackney half marathon happening in the background with people shouting and whooping constantly throughout the chat - but Izotope RX to the rescue!"

What is IROI?

IROI is a stereo effects module based on the right half of the original Oneiroi. It applies Oneiroi’s sonic character to external sources in a more compact format, while incorporating subtle improvements developed throughout the Oneiroi project. Designed to shape, transform, and immerse sound, Iroi carries forward the dreamlike essence of its predecessor into a dedicated effects processor.

Audio Core: Powered by OWL mk3, featuring 24-bit 48 kHz stereo audio resolution (with 32-bit internal processing) and a full stereo signal path.

Filter: Multimode filter offering low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, and comb filtering, with flexible positioning within the effects chain.

Digital VCA.

Resonator: Three-band resonator with dedicated tune and feedback controls.

Delay: Two-tap echo (delay) with adjustable time and density.

Reverb: Comprehensive reverb effect with macro control over size, filtering, and direction.

Modulation: Various types of self-modulation, offering configurable routing and control over level and speed.

Control Voltage (CV): CV inputs for all primary parameters. Four of these inputs are dynamically assignable to secondary parameters.

Synchronization: External sync input supports clock speeds from 30 BPM to 300 BPM.

Randomization: Powerful randomizer with a flexible mapping system, including undo/redo functionality.

IROI is set to be released on April 30th, 2026 and the launching price will be 275€ (assembled version) and 210€ (DIY Kit).
