Alfa AS3109 VS IR3109N Quick Comparison

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2025

Many have commented about my last video [posted here] why I fool around w/ reclaiming the old chips when Alfa has some remakes on the market. So here's a quick comparison of the Alfa AS3109 remakes vs. IR3109N OTA chips in my 101-VCF tester module. For me the Alfa behaves quite differently with regard to signal clipping and output magnitude. Enough as to not recommend them as a 1-to-1 replacement in vintage synths and the reason I don't use them in my own modules. It's too bad, I enjoy using other kinds of Alfa chips 3320/3340/3350 in other filters and my 101-VCO.

LSPXPO 2025: Erica Synths Echolocator - first look

video upload by sonicstate

"There was an Erica Synths stand at the show, but no one available to demo the newly-released *Echolocator*, so Matt bravely took on the task himself. The Echolocator is similar in layout to the *NightVerb*, but as the name suggests, is a delay-focused unit.

We'll be having a more in-depth look soon, this was very much a quick first impressions taster, but it sounds promising."

LSPXPO 2025: Chase Bliss - Onward and Clean demos

video upload by sonicstate

"Chase Bliss make interesting pedals - some are creative takes on existing ideas, others are full-on out-there bonkers weird & wonderful - but boring they are not. We have some ourselves, and if Chase Bliss are at a show, we try to check out what they've been working on, so we asked Tyler to demo a couple of their newcomers; Onward and *Clean*."

LSPXPO 2025: ALM Busy Circuits S.B.G-PRO

video upload by sonicstate

"Rupert from ALM showed us the upgraded MCO Mark II module, and the new *S.B.G-PRO*, designed for integrating Eurorack systems with external pro audio equipment. The S.B.G-PRO has quarter-inch jack inputs, dry/wet mix, input/output controls, and handles both balanced and unbalanced lines.

Ideal for using external effects, it simplified studio integration with modules like guitar pedals."

"At the LSPXPO 2025, we met Oli Freke from *Synth Evolution*, who shares his passion for synthesizers through his unique illustrated books and posters. They're great. (We have a poster on the wall at the Sonic office ;-)

LSPXPO 2025: Music Thing Modular: Workshop System

video upload by sonicstate

"We've come across Music Thing Modular's Workshop System previously - the DIY only modular synth has a number of different sections, but one in particular allows for the addition of program cards to transform it into various functions, and apparently this has lead to a bit of a community, creating cards such as Backyard"

LSPXPO 2025: Venus Instruments Veno Orbit

video upload by sonicstate

"Adam from *Venus Instruments*, a London-based company, introduced us to the *Veno Orbit*, their upcoming experimental sampler. Formerly known as the Veno Looper, the Vino Orbit offered way more than just looping capabilities, so it got a hasty rename, just a couple of days ago.

With really gorgeous visual display of what's going on, The Veno Orbit allows you to modulate various parameters such as start, length, pitch, and direction, and has two channels with mirrored controls, providing an intuitive user interface."
