SUPERBOOTH 2024: Knobula - Echo Cinematic FX Module

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, Jason from Nobula introduced us to their latest module, the Echo Cinematic*. This module, which has been in development for about three years, combines EQ, delay, reverb, and a knob recorder in a compact 12 HP unit. Inspired by the dub Echo machines of old, *Jason aimed to replicate the unique sound he experienced in studios by bringing the Echo back through the desk and EQing it to create a feedback loop that adds character and depth to the sound.

The Echo Cinematic features a range of filter options including low pass, high pass, peak, notch, and comb filters, providing users with a versatile array of sonic possibilities. With fully syncable delay times, a built-in reverb, and a knob recorder for capturing performances, this module offers is ideal for creating those classic, almost out of control dub delays.

Echo Cinematic Available: June 2024. Price: 320-390 USD"

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Error Instruments - Candy Cloud Experimental Synth

video upload by sonicstate

"Sonic State had a chance to catch up with Paul from Error Instruments at Superbooth 2024 to get a closer look at their latest creations. One of the highlights from the interview was the Candy Cloud - an experimental synthesizer designed for both children and adults. With its unique delay and satisfying cherry knobs, users can explore a range of sounds from cinematic to droney or pulsing. It has an instrument input so it can also be used as an FX processor.

The interview also touched upon other intriguing products, such as the Ballerina and Brinta. The Ballerina*, a limited-edition device with CV control over its dancing girl and music box, is described as more of a fun gimmick as is *Dreams, *where you pull the string to start the music box. *Brinta, a granular sampler developed in collaboration with This Is No Rocket Science, offers an affordable option for those interested in granular synthesis. With upgrades to the software and enhanced audio levels, the Brinta provides users with a unique and engaging sonic experience. For more information on these innovative products, be sure to check out the Error Instruments website and their select group of boutique retailers."
