Mood: soft, game-like, dark-tinged, alive and breathing.

Superlative SB01 with Roland SH-101 - production unit 2025

video upload by Antony Fewster

"Very quick play around with the new Superlative SB01 (last minute thing, apologies for the lack of lighting and shaky iphone). SB01 sequenced by the Intellijel Metropolix, SB01 keyboard (running on internal battery) controlling external SH-101.
u-he uhbik 2 beta on delay duties.
Not the best quality lighting, nor does it (not intended) show the breadth of what this can do (I only had one hand free), but wanted share an initial take how this looks and sounds in a style I'm familiar with. I'm a fan."

Superlative SB01 filter mod

video upload by Antony Fewster

"Metropolix sending gate, cv and additional cv into the mod CV input of the SB01. Gives any baseline more movement and life - a really nice addition that takes it beyond the standard sh-101. Playing around with the filter and resonance for effect."

u-He Wiretap | Cool stuff to do with a slope detector!

video upload by Tom Churchill

"Wiretap is a 2-channel slope detector, or motion detector, which is a pretty rare type of utility in Eurorack. The basic idea is that you feed in a control voltage, like a pitch CV sequence or an LFO, and Wiretap will generate various triggers or gates based on whether that signal is changing, and which direction it’s moving in. It’s quite a simple concept, but it opens up a world of patching that’s quite hard to achieve otherwise without using fairly complex combinations of slew, comparators and logic. In this video, I walk through various patch ideas."
