Korg Berlin Phase 8 Finally Ready For Production | Superbooth 2025

video upload by Thomann Synthesizers

"At Superbooth 2025, Korg Berlin unveiled the finalized design of the Phase8, an innovative electro-acoustic synthesizer that merges mechanical sound generation with electronic control. This instrument features eight independent electromechanical voices, each utilizing a tunable metal resonator struck by an electromagnetic actuator, allowing for dynamic and expressive sound creation.

The Phase8 offers advanced sound-shaping capabilities, including envelope control, waveshaping, tremolo, and audio modulation. A built-in sequencer with polyrhythmic capabilities enables complex rhythmic patterns and evolving sequences. Connectivity options include MIDI in/out (via mini jacks), CV input, sync in/out, USB, and a single audio output, ensuring compatibility with various setups"

VAEMI Modular System Patching No:6 - OSI-OP,XFMR Ring Mod.,XFMR VCA & Expander,VoltRatio

video upload by Vaemi

"A unique system brought together with high-quality components and precise engineering. The VAEMI Analog Modular System is entirely handmade using through-hole components and includes many distinctive features of its own.

In this video, you’ll be able to watch and experience a patch I created using through zero frequency modulation — from start to finish, with minimal editing. By the end of the video, I end up creating two separate parallel FM paths. I create a kick and snare using Peaks, and sequence all these sounds with the Beatstep Pro. Then, we patch a synth bass using the VAEMI system.

Shortly after the bass becomes audible, I add a bit of stereo presence in the higher frequencies using the computer, activating a plug-in midway through the recording. Other than that, there is no additional processing.

With a transparent mastering approach, you’ll hear the entire recording session in its clearest and most natural form.

Enjoy listening and watching :)"

Tropical birds and strings

"When a friend came back from Costa Rica with some binaural recordings of birds, I asked him to send me some. For this example, I added a loop to the norns and played a melody with the minichord (MIDI notes of strings section from MxSamples on norns)"

Doepfer 3D Joystick

video upload by Bata

"Quick janky explanation of the Doepfer 3D Joystick A-174-4 along with some examples of how I use it and a patch breakdown of the patch I'm using it with. I plan on doing a couple more joystick idea videos that are easier to follow. Too many modules being used to list them here so just watch my Full Modular Overview video which I will link below.

There is some annoying color switching at times on the video. I think it's caused the bright white case and moving the camera too much but I'm not sure. Sorry about that.

My engineer decided to do some stereo separation with the frequency shifter track on this one. This has the advantage of a wide phasey sound but the vocally audio rate sound from the frequency shifter is less impactful than it would be if it was stacked with the dry signal in the center. Probably best to listen through headphones for this one."

Full Modular Setup Overview
"Added a couple new things and switched stuff around so decided to do a quick video explaining the rig. Could have talked for an hour or 2 about this but kept it to 10 minutes because of my phone's time limit. Will add a modular grid link below."

Synthesizers.com Joins synthCube

Some news sent my way via John L Rice

via synthCube on modwiggler:

"We are happy to announce here (first) that Synthesizers.com will be joining our portfolio of synthCube brands here just outside of Boston. We spent the weekend packing all of the assets, inventory, demo units etc into trucks and will be taking the next few weeks to get everything set up again in our shop. We owe much gratitude to Roger Arrick for the initial effort to design and start the company in the first place, to James Allen and others who took on Dotcom when Roger passed it along to them, and to the most recent owners for their stewardship of Dotcom in the interim. If you're a designer / maker of dotcom/MU 5U modules, we hope that this helps re-energize interest in your products too... frankly, the more options that customers have, the better for those customers and for the format itself. Part of how we will measure success is NOT by how many makers we put out of business, rather it will be how many makers will now grow faster, and how many new makers might come in and create more dotcom/MU 5U innovations? We'll post more details about future plans here and in other channels when we have some time, and we look forward to hearing your feedback, ideas, and suggestions on how best to inspire and support the current generations of Dotcom users and how to improve the products and solutions for the next generation as well. We know Dotcom/5U won't ever be as popular as Eurorack, and that's OK; BUT we are equally confident that there will always be a place for high quality, large format, serious synth instruments and modules and 5U will be around for the long haul. How does that saying go? 'We liked the product so much we bought the company.'

Monika and Chris"
