Superbooth 2023: Frap Tools - Cunsa

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Giovanni from Frap Tools at Superbooth 2023 about their new Cunsa quadruple analog multimode resonant filter. This filter has a unique open architecture with semi-normalizations that can be used in different ways such as double stereo, single quadruple, or quadruple mono, and is designed to not lose bass at high Q resonance settings. The Cunsa's character knob can tame distortion and imparts a different character to the sound depending on how it is rotated. Combining these parameters, Cunsa can produce a wide variety of effects, and the filter has a ping circuit, turning it into a sound source with a natural and organic decay.

Cunsa Available Early June Price: 840 Euros"

Superbooth 2023: Bastl - BASIL

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2023, we caught up with Vaclav from Bastl Instruments, who was showcasing the company's new delay module BASIL. BASIL is a compact, modulatable 8HP stereo delay with stereo input and output. Modulation can achieve chorus and flanger effects and also modulates well with ramps for pitch shifting, reversing and more. It has a dry/wet fader, feedback which is bipolar, and when modulated with bipolar CVs, it can get narrow or wide feedback. It also has a time knob with a button that allows users to flip stereo detune between left and right channel. Additionally, BASIL has a space section with various features including blur for diffusion, filter, and multi-taps. The space section also has a compressor in the feedback path, so it never gets out of control when feedback is cranked. BASIL is available now for €267 without tax, and Bastl Instruments is shipping in three weeks from early June.

BASIL Available to pre order now, shipping Early June 2023.

Price: €267 plus VAT

Superbooth 2023: Neuzeit - Warp

video upload by sonicstate

"Thomas from Neuzeit showed us Warp, a new monophonic synthesizer voice that features wavetable and additive synthesis. When connected to an expander, the Warp can also become a four-voice polyphonic unit. The oscillator has an XY grid that allows for intuitive drawing of frequency spectra and wavetables, with different locations creating different sounds, and the ability to create and save custom wavetables for use on other synths. The Warp has the standard features of detune, oscillator, and sync, and can create a range of sounds from glassy to grungy.

The Warp's most impressive feature is the intuitive and fun-to-use editor, where users can draw their own frequency spectra and wavetables onto the XY grid using various algorithms. The user can alter the transition and position of the sounds on the grid to achieve their desired sound, and the editor allows the user to load various wavetable files from an SD card. The Warp can also export the whole XY grid as a wavetable in different formats.

Neuzeit Warp Preordering now, Shipping September 2023. Price: 699 Euros

Superbooth 2023: Superlative - Monolab 1210 - Space Bee

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Ben from Superlative at Superbooth 2023 about their latest product, a fully self-contained, semi-modular synthesizer Monolab 1210. Based on various synthesis concepts from the 70s and 80s, this synthesizer offers a compact semi-modular format with a clear and well-mapped workflow. It is aimed at beginners, as well as those who want to dive deeper into the world of voltage control.

It was good to see Space Bee back at Superbooth, and though it is clearly inspired by the SH101, it has a lot of enhancements, such as ADSR cycling mode, CV control and more. The synthesizer is powered by USB C and is surprisingly thin, measuring less than an inch deep.

Space Bee Available Autumn 2023. Price TBC

Monolab 1210 Available Autumn 2023. Price TBC"

Superbooth 2023: Eowave - Tempete Magnetique Complex Filter

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2023, we spoke to Thomas from Eowave about their new product,Tempete Magnetique, 4-12dB filters that can be linked, pinged, put in parallel, serial, or used as crossovers. The filter has a complex oscillator with cross-modulation between two parts and outputs that can be fed back to the user input, enabling users to make weird oscillators and crossovers. The filter design is based on the Oberheim SEM filter, but with some very interesting extras.

Tempete Magnetique Available: June 2023. Price 350 Euros

Ricochet Available: Soon. Price 250 Euros

Supamix Available: Soon. Price 250 Euros"

Superbooth 2023: Endorphin.es - Ghost And Golden Master Pedals

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Ivan from Endorphin.es about their Ghost and Golden Master pedals at Superbooth 2023. The Ghost pedal is inspired by the Ghost module designed in collaboration with Andrew Huang, and offers six routing options, three filters, three reverbs, and onboard modulation with various shapes including smooth, random, and envelope followers. The pedal also includes MIDI connectivity and nine different presets that can be controlled with MIDI CC values. Users can achieve different effects by changing the routing options and modulation, which can be easily done by pressing the mode assign button and tweaking the knob.

The Golden Master pedal, is a compressor that can be used to adjust the Q value or compress the signal. It also includes a multiband compressor and a stereo widening tool. Users can adjust the equalization settings, compressors, and presets, and mute or boost the low, mid, and high bands.

Both pedals available Autumn 2023.

Ghost Price: around 500 Euros

Golden Master Price: around 300 Euros"

Superbooth 2023: Waldorf - Quantum MK2

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Claudio from Waldorf at about their newest flagship synthesizer, the Quantum mkII. This impressive synthesizer is part of the Quantum Iridium family and features three freely assignable oscillators with five synthesis forms, including wavetable synthesis, subtractive analog synthesis, particle synthesis, resonator modeling, and a DX-77 style FM synthesis. The Quantum mkII also has a touch-sensitive keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch and direct access to every parameter via the touchscreen or dial, allowing for seamless and intuitive sound design. The synthesizer also includes eight digital filters, which can be mixed with the analog filters for even richer sound shaping possibilities. The Quantum mkII is currently available for €4,500."

Superbooth 2023: Tubbutec - MC2oh2 An Upgraded 202

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2023, we spoke to Tobias from Tubbutec about the company's latest offerings. First up is the MC2oh2 mod, which is now available for €250. It's an upgrade for the original MC202, and brings a range of new features, including a 32-pattern sequencer with chaining capabilities, arpeggiator with Euclidean mode, and extra modulations such as LFOs and envelopes. The mod also adds noise with various noise colors. The MC202 mod will be available as a kit for the RE202 project by DinSync, which is a replica of the original MC202. Tobias also presented a microtune module, which is a MIDI 2CV/CV2MIDI and quantizer with clock generator. It's a versatile module that can load scales from an SD card, work microtonally, and tune VCOs. It's available for €340 for the base unit and €171 and €84 for expanders.

Tobias also showcased the 6mod6, a TR606 module with original circuitry but with extra flexibility and functionality. The 6equencer sequencer is built to compliment the 6mod6 but can send TR sequencing wherever you choose. It has eight channels for triggering or gating with a range of functions such as song mode, probability, swing, and more. Tubbutec also offers vintage synthesizer upgrades, including a universal interface for string machines and organs that can be used to interface with MIDI and an interface for Yamaha SK20, SK30, and SK50D synthesizers that adds MIDI input, an additional LFO, and other useful features. The soldering level required for the MC202 mod is minimal, but Tubbutec provides a list of synth techs around the world who can perform the installation for anyone with a fear of soldering."

Superbooth 2023: Mystic Circuits - Audio and Lofi Visual Modules

video upload by sonicstate

"We met up with Ely from Mystic Circuits and he introduced us to their new modules. First we saw the 3D VCA, a quad vca in a 6hp space. Ely told us that they managed to cram it into a smaller space by using macro controls over the VCAs rather than independent controls. This design also offers interesting routing possibilities.

We also got a look at ANA 2, an updated version of their analogue logic module, with an attenuverter, multiplier providing thru-zero multiplication and Cut, which Ely described as a bizarre non linear waveshaper.

3DVCA Shipping June 2023. Price: 225 USD

ANA 2 Available soon. Price TBC"
