Superbooth 22: Dreadbox - DIY Kits

video upload by sonicstate

"We met up with Yannis from Dreadbox to see his three new DIY kit synths.

The Erebus version 2 (the best version, according to Yannis) is re-released as a simple DIY kit with a real wooden case, though if you wish, it can be euroracked. It is identical to the original, except the envelopes are of an improved digital design. Also reissued is Hades, again with improved digital envelopes and also eurorackable. Finally we met Dysmetria, a new 2 oscillator analogue synth and sequencer in kit form, but this time with through-hole components, so it might be a little more challenging to put together for a beginner.

Dysmetria is available now. Price: 200 euros

Hades and Erebus available July. Price TBC: 200-250 euros"

Superbooth 22: Dirtywave - M8 Portable Tracker

video upload by sonicstate

"Tim from Dirtywave introduced the M8 Tracker telling us it was influenced by a Gameboy tracker called Little Sound DJ, and the pocket-sized beauty definitely appeals to the playful.

The M8 has 8 tracks, audio input and output, midi in and out, FM synthesis, stereo sampling that streams directly from SD card, a super sharp touch-screen, and built in effects. Surely that can't all fit into one pocket?

Dirtywave M8 Tracker available to preorder now. Shipping in July.

Price: 550 USD"

ShiftBud - Turing Machine Based AUv3 Random Looping Sequencer for iOS

This one is in via developer Cem Oclay.

You can find ShiftBud on his site here.

Some details via Cem:

"I’ve released my new app ShiftBud - Random Looping Sequencer based on the popular eurorack module Turing Machine. It’s an AUv3 MIDI sequencer for iOS.

The chaos knob controls the randomisation, when it’s fully rotated to clockwise or counterclockwise, it can lock the sequence and loop it. If you introduce low amounts of chaos, the sequence will slip occasionally and create beautiful melodies.

The app can sequence MIDI Notes and CC values which is great for modulating synth parameters. The note sequencer can generate notes in any key/scale and octave range with optional velocity randomisation."

"Introducing Behringer MODEL-15.

The analogue synth with a ladder filter that everybody can afford to climb.

For those who are after the sound of our 55 series but are not quite ready to jump into the Eurorack world, then MODEL-15 is for you.

Housed in our familiar semi-modular format, MODEL-15 is an authentic recreation of the legendary system from the 1970’s.

With a pure analog signal path, MODEL-15 features dual oscillators with 4 waveforms, oscillator sync, pulse-width modulation and a sub-oscillator.

Also fitted with an advance step sequencer allowing for 3 separate, 256-step memory slots, key transpose and multiple playback modes. With the arpeggiator featuring a hold function and multiple playback modes.

MODEL-15 also delivers a spring reverb emulation, 48 carefully positioned patch points for advanced modular connectivity, integration with external equipment and 37 controls giving you real-time access to all important parameters and comprehensive MIDI implementation with MIDI channel and voice priority selection.

As soon as we receive the chips required to put this into production, MODEL-15 will ship immediately.

Estimated Price - $329 USD
