Bloop Groop Weekender Set for Sunday, Mar 22
You can find full details on the upcoming event this weekend at https://www.bloopgroop.com/...
"Bloop Groop, Dublin's hardware-synth hub famous for its low-pressure “Hang, Jam, Play” sessions, announces its debut 3-day Weekender from Friday 20 to Monday 23 March 2026, with live electronic shows, low-stakes sets, maker demos, talks and hands-on DIY.
Since late 2024, Bloop Groop - founded by Caroline Swords and Gary Byrne - has quietly grown into a regular fixture of Dublin’s electronic music calendar, hosting informal meets where newcomers and old pros share short, loud hardware sets to a friendly crowd. The project now counts a core membership (and surprisingly civilized WhatsApp community) in the hundreds, with over 150 live performances hosted across jams, meets and gigs in Dublin City spaces like The Digital Hub and Trinity College Dublin. The gang shares knowledge, support, and collaborates on music. And, of course, buys and sells each other gear!"

Alien 303 V2 (MONO) vs. Alien 4DX (Binaural space 3D Sound) | Acid Evolution Comparison
video upload by G-Sonique
"Alien 303 V2 (MONO) vs. Alien 4DX (Binaural space 3D Sound) comparison
Is Mono Acid dead? 🛸 In this video, we compare the legendary Alien 303 V2 with the groundbreaking Alien 4DX Binaural Topology synthesizer.
While traditional acid synths are usually mono and "flat," the new Alien 4DX uses a special 3D binaural topology that emulates analog circuits and DSP chips to place the sound directly in a 3D/4D space around your head. No quadraphonic setup needed – just your headphones or 2 speakers.
What’s the difference?
Alien 303 V2: The classic, punchy, '2D' mono acid lead that defined a generation.
Alien 4DX: A massive, organic, and harmonically rich sound that fills the entire stereo field using psychoacoustic principles (time shifts, phase distortion, and frequency modulation).
Key Features of Alien 4DX:

"I bought this at VEMIA last year because it was at a fantastic price and thought I'd risk having to do a bit of work on it at that price. In fact it was far better than I expected, perfect working order inc the aftertouch which is often not good, new OLED display, I think originally imported from Wine Country (always a good sign, never seen a bad synth from them), sounds great, looks ace, much nicer to use than the rack, plus the original manual. But I've got to be sensible. As someone else once said, too many synths. Start price is what I paid.
Back at VEMIA for photos and packing. 18GBP."

He also installed the Encore midi kit (best kit for OBX)
