"Here is some sound design research with the Morphos band strip.
These sounds are generated with internal modulations. Those researches lead us to meet some strange creatures."
"Again this year, the Berlin-based company u-he honored us with a live set. Urs Heckmann and Sebastian Hübert presented their growing Eurorack product range.
The new designs were certainly a pleasant surprise for many attendees and they promise to be very interesting modules! The multiple envelope and complex filter appear to be well thought out, versatile and highly musical. More of these please.

"The BEATS FM is a project that started in 2020 and has gone through 4 revisions. Built out of pure passion by our team in Italy, it’s an experimental all-in-one stereo synthesizer and audio processor, with a warm analog sound and many sync options. Designed for exploring and designing new sounds and noise textures for studio or for live performance. Packed with modulating, sync and processing power. Complete analog audio path, with the addition of a digital delay. The equivalent of 8 modules enclosed in an elegant, high-quality beech/aluminum case with an antenna.
We want to give everybody the possibility to participate in the creation of this unique machine. We feel that the world needs new options when it come to music production and sound exploration. The spontaneous and versatile nature of the BEATS FM, together with it's warm analog sound is designed to be a center piece to a number of music studios worldwide.
This is the first ever production run of this unit, and nobody knows if there will be further developments in the future. It all depends on the support that all the backers will bring to this project. Our goal is to produce as many units as possible. Satisfaction of every backers is our main priority. Thanks to you, this project is already a reality! Every backer will receive a one-of-a-kind, hand-assembled, individually numbered, limited edition BEATS FM with power supply, antenna and user's manual."
