video upload by sonicstate

"Stephan Bobinger from Synth Studio Berlin was playing the Yamaha CS-80 to get our attention - it worked right?

Their new business is offering the opportunity to rent vintage and modern synthesizers by the hour or day. Their studio is equipped with an impressive array of classic analog synths like the CS80, Jupiter-8, System 700, and Moogs, as well as new synthesizers like the Hydra synth, Quantum, and C15 from Nonlinear Labs. The studio is also designed with a room-in-room construction, ATC speakers, and top-notch acoustics to ensure the best possible recording experience.

The hourly rates are very reasonable, with three models available: hourly, three hours, or the whole day, priced at €80, €200, and €600 euros, respectively.

Synth enthusiasts can now have the opportunity to play and record on the best synths in the industry. Synth Studio Berlin has been open for just a month, but it's already proving to be a must-visit destination for synth lovers from around the world.

Superbooth 2023: Sucofunk Beatmaker Sketchbook

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Marc Berendes from Sucofunk about the Beatmaker Sketchbook. This device is a sampler, sequencer, and groovebox that is completely portable and is available in two different versions. The Beatmaker Sketchbook is 100 % open source and can be found on GitHub.

It has a workflow of sample, sketch, arrange, and play, which means users can sample, arrange parts of the sequence, and perform live. The sampler has 24 keys and three banks, which means 72 buttons and keys in total, and each key can be assigned to a sample.

The device can record something or sample from the internal microphone and the line-in connector, or resample something like sequences played back. Sucofunk offers workshops for the device, which takes two days to build and offers pre-order for the devices.

More info: https://sucofunk.com/"

Beatmaker’s sketchbook houses a microphone, a fader, four rotary encoders, 24 keys for two octaves, 12 functional buttons, a display and a via USB rechargeable battery. It can sample through a line-in or the built in microphone, playback via headphones or the line-out connector and communicates with external devices via MIDI.

Beatmaker’s sketchbook comes in different flavors:

Beatmaker’s sketchbook mini
Beatmaker’s sketchbook custom and unique handmade devices
PCB “mainboard” to use it as the base for your own project

Superbooth 2023: Tempera Granular Synth From The Vector Synth People

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Andre Sklenar of VectorSynth about their new product, Tempora. Tempora is a granular synthesizer and sampler that has a total global pool of 4000 samples, with 16 voices of polyphony, per-voice filters, and per-voice modulators.

The basic operation is that you have eight tracks or samples that can be short or up to 10-12 seconds long, and you put in a note and an emitter that tells it what pitch to play and where the grains come from. Each emitter can have a different size, density, and color coding, and you can modulate the parameters of each.

The interface provides good utility in terms of where the grains are pulled, and there is no waveform, so users are encouraged to listen and explore with their fingers. The Tempora is PC powered, and if you want, you can use a power bank. VectorSynth plans to start doing pre-orders as soon as possible, and the price is yet to be determined.

Superbooth 2023:Vermona meloDICER Expander Module CV control of every parameter

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Tomas Haller from Vermona at Superbooth 2023 about their new expansion module for the meloDICER, a random-based sequencer. The new module allows users to control every parameter of the meloDICER via MIDI, enabling automation for every parameter and MIDI output. The meloDICER has a basic note value with a random variation, legato probability, and rest probability.

The probability for each note can be set by adjusting the faders, and the higher the fader, the more probability for the note. The module also adds a second and third voice with accent probability, new rhythms, and melodies. The start and end points for the sequence can be set, and there is a free-running mode with complete random melodies within the scales. The expansion module is expected to be released in summer 2023 for around 200 euros."
