Buchla Ziggy Desktop Synth Patch at Superbooth 2026

video upload by Insect O.

"A spontaneous random session with the new Buchla Ziggy desktop synthesizer at Superbooth 2026 in Berlin. Exploring generative textures, experimental modulation, evolving sequences and raw Buchla sound design. The sound I´m tweaking is just from a preset.

The Ziggy is a standalone desktop synthesizer inspired by classic analog complex oscillators, featuring low pass gates, cycler modulation, built-in effects, and preset storage.'

"In-depth presentation of the new Buchla ZIGGY Synthesizer at the Superbooth26.
The heart of Ziggy is a "complex oscillator," a sine wave generator that allows you to shape the sound through frequency modulation (FM) or amplitude modulation (AM) at audio frequencies."

Superbooth 2026 Highlights | Voltage Labs

video upload by Voltage Labs

"This year at Superbooth, we found some seriously inspiring instruments - here are a few of our highlights. Soma showed one of the most forward-thinking instruments we came across, with a truly unique interface. Richie Hawtin and Erica Synths introduced the latest Bullfrog edition: Drums.
Buchla also caught our attention with Ziggy a compact new take on their iconic West Coast sound.
Polyend is aiming high with their new analog-digital hybrid drum machine, possibly their most ambitious project yet. And one of the most fascinating discoveries for us was Tembo: a wooden drum synthesizer that looks beautiful and sounds unlike anything else.

Buchla Ziggy | Superbooth 2026 | Voltage Labs

video upload by Voltage Labs

"Buchla’s Ziggy is one of the standout synth announcements surrounding this year’s Superbooth 2026, distilling the company’s famously expensive West Coast philosophy into a compact desktop instrument priced at just under $1000. Combining analog complex oscillators, low-pass gates and wavefolding with modern digital control, presets and effects, Ziggy positions itself as the most approachable and portable Buchla synthesizer to date."

Overwhelmed with SUPERBOOTH Posts?

If so, here are a few tips:

1. The News label will get you to the first post on new gear.

2. Use the Search box on the top right of the site to search for specific gear. For example Ziggy.

3. The brand label at the bottom of posts will filter all posts in order by a given brand. For example Polyend.

As for filtering out SUPERBOOTH posts, unfortunately there is no such filter. "-SUPERBOOTH" doesn't filter them out. You'll have to scroll down the page, and click next until you are caught up. But don't worry, the SUPERBOOTH rush usually only lasts for a few days. And remember, every single post here goes up by hand.

Note: all SUPERBOOTH videos from supporting members and banner sponsors go up as a thank you for supporting the site.

I also try to post all manufacturer videos as a record of synth history in the making.

A Buchla for $ 999? - Superbooth 2026

video upload by Let's Play Synths

"The new Ziggy is out! Or rather, it has been announced on May 5th and will be available later this year. It's a monophonic synth that can be powered by 5V USB C with 1A, has enough connectors to integrate it with other Buchlas and it sounds WILD."

Ziggy is a desktop Buchla that has all the flexibility of a modular with no patching required – Demo

video upload by MusicRadar Tech

"Buchla’s Ziggy monosynth aims to bring the brand’s singular style of West Coast synthesis to a wider audience, both by dropping the price – at $999, Ziggy is a fifth of the price of the company’s Music Easel – and repackaging the sound engine in a non-modular, self-contained desktop instrument that’s intended to be more modern and accessible than its previous designs.

The format may have changed, but Ziggy still has the digitally-controlled analogue architecture of a classic Buchla: a complex oscillator with wavefolding, a modulation oscillator for FM and AM, and a low-pass gate in place of a conventional filter and VCA, inviting the kind of unconventional sound design that has earned the brand a place in the hearts of those looking for an experimental alternative to the traditional East Coast approach. What makes Ziggy different, though, are additions like browser-managed patch storage, digital effects, and extensive connectivity: alongside CV inputs for pitch, gate and modulation, you get an external audio input and 5-pin MIDI and USB-C connections, which allow for the kind of external control via the KeyStep that you can see here.

It’s fair to say that most music-makers won’t have had the chance to experiment with a Buchla before, and with Ziggy, the company is hoping to change that. While it’s clearly more approachable than a Music Easel or a Skylab, designing sounds with Ziggy will still take some getting used to, as we found out over at Buchla’s booth – but cycling through the instrument’s presets, which showcase the unique, often chaotic timbres that West Coast synthesis is known for, left us eager to dive deeper into the Buchla universe. Mission accomplished."

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"
