Xaoc introducing Oradea and Arad | Superbooth 2025
video upload by Thomann Synthesizers
"XAOC launched Oradea and its expander, Arad. The Oradea is an analog quad resonator featuring four bandpass filters designed to process and generate sounds while maintaining exceptionally high resonance and Q values. The emphasis was on creating a resonator effective for "pinging" without self-resonating, ensuring audible pings even at high frequencies. Each channel of Oradea hosts individual controls for frequency, peaking, and volume, which can be modulated via CV inputs."
Redshift 6 - Multitimbral Sound Demo
video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"Supercritical is thrilled to unveil multitimbrality for the Redshift 6 — a powerful new feature that makes the Redshift 6 more versatile than ever.
With six-part multitimbrality, the Redshift 6 can now assign its voices in multiple ways: split across keyboard zones for traditional polyphonic setups, layered to play rich, combined textures, or used as six independent one voice parts. Thanks to its paraphonic architecture, those one voice parts can still be played as full chords.
The update also unlocks the Redshift 6’s two auxiliary outputs, allowing individual timbral parts to be routed separately for more flexible mixing and sound design.
You can try the multitimbral Redshift 6 yourself at Superbooth 2025 — visit us at Bungalowdorf B020 in Berlin.
The multitimbral beta firmware is available now on the Supercritical Discord for all Redshift 6 users."
Redshift 6 - Superbooth 2025 Sound Demo
video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"Hear all our multitimbral Redshift 6 presets for the Superbooth 2025 — no talking, just pure playing.
These presets showcase a wide variety of sounds, from classic analog poly-synth layer splits to rich single-layer textures and one-key wonders.
The Redshift 6 is a 6-voice analog poly, but with 16 oscillators per voice, it goes far beyond the capabilities of a traditional 6-voice synth. Each voice can be played paraphonically, significantly extending the overall polyphony.
Thanks to its flexible voice allocation, voices can be used in splits, layers, or as fully independent parts — each with its own MIDI channel and controls. In essence, every voice is its own synthesizer. And with paraphony, even a single voice can become a polyphonic synth.
All the sounds in this demo are played live using a single Redshift 6, with no external FX.
Huge thanks to Novation for the Launchkey 61 MK4!
The multitimbral beta firmware is available now on the Supercritical Discord for all Redshift 6 users."
EssenceFM v7.0
video upload by Kodamo
"Discover the new features in this v7.0 firmware for your EssenceFM MK1/MKII.
Full list and download here: https://kodamo.org/firmwares?synth=efm"
v7.0 Contents
Two LFOs: Expand your sound design possibilities with a second LFO for all voices. It works like the first LFO except that it does not have Attack or Delay parameters. It has no hardwired AM/FM mod on the operator, so it should be used in the mod matrix.
UI Improvement: Volumes for all 6 operators can now be edited at the same time. When you are on the Base tab, operators become color-matched to the encoders that control their volume.
Global > Display > Startup Bank: allows to choose which Patch or Voice bank you want to load on startup.
Mod Matrix: Added each slot's ratio as modulation destination. To produce the intended effect modulations have to be put in the right order (eg. slot 1 modulates slot 2 that modulates another parameter), otherwise modulations will occur across voices (which can be used for more complex effects).
Boom Chick & Assembler by Pittsburgh Modular & Cre8Audio | Superbooth 2025
video upload by Thomann Synthesizers
"At Superbooth 2025, Cre8audio and Pittsburgh Modular unveiled two new analog devices: the Boom Chick drum machine and the Assembler mixer, both designed for standalone use and Eurorack integration.
The Boom Chick is a five-voice analog drum machine featuring kick, snare, hi-hat, and two versatile percussion voices capable of FM synthesis and wave shaping. Its six-track sequencer offers step and live modes, polyrhythms, Euclidean pattern generation, and performance tools like swing, humanize, and probability. Connectivity includes individual trigger inputs and outputs, MIDI I/O, clock sync, and reset, with output levels suitable for Eurorack systems. 
The Assembler is a 10-channel analog mixer with six mono and two stereo inputs, each equipped with preamps offering up to 20x gain, soft compression, and signal contouring. It features three post-fader aux sends with corresponding returns, a dedicated headphone cue output, and compatibility with both line-level and Eurorack signals. The mixer can function as a standalone desktop unit or be mounted in a 40HP Eurorack space.
Both devices are expected to be available in mid-May 2025."
