ARTURIA ASTROLAB 37 DEMO


video upload by elz production

"AstroLab is less a synth and more an idea machine—a source of instant inspiration, perfect for grabbing a sound and running with it. The lack of deep editing is a trade-off for speed and variety. If you’re the type who wants to modulate an LFO with another LFO, look elsewhere. But if you want to make music now and worry about the details later, the AstroLab 37 is a serious contender. As always, the real magic—and a few quirks—are best experienced., let the jams and sound demos do the talking."

How to approximate a VHIKK X with Magerit Laniakea and Befaco Oneiroi


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Yeah, I FHIXXED IT. I own a VHIKK X. I had to have one, and waited for it for six months. But I completely overlooked the powerhouse I had lying around, gathering dust. Laniakea is a relatively cheap 220 euro module, and I guess - not sure - many of you have an Oneiroi - or an eye on it. If you'd combine those two, you'd open a SuperCluster and sometimes it will make the VHIKK X blush. Again, this proves for me that the best sounds you can imagine may already be hiding in the gear you already own. Next time you hear a 'must have', you may already have it."

Somehow missed this one. Thanks goes to M Me for spotting the listing below and sending it in. A quick search brought up the video above.



via this eBay listing

Google translated from the listing in German:

"This is an extremely rare toy from 2023—one that, for some reason, seems to have been on the market for only a very short time—yet it is anything but a mere toy.

The controller pairs via Bluetooth with an app called X808. This app runs exclusively on iPhone or iPad. There is a stripped-down freeware version (featuring limited synth and effect parameters) and a full version available for 8 euros. Both versions provide access to a few acoustic kits as well as ALL THE ESSENTIAL ROLAND drum machines—specifically the 808, 909, 606, 707, 626, 727, CR78, and CR80. Furthermore, it includes a full-fledged bass synthesizer and *two* full-fledged Kaoss Pads!

I tested the device using only the freeware version, and even that alone is absolutely incredible.

Naturally, you can program beats, basslines, and even full songs; moreover, the controller features an extremely intuitive design—well, as one would expect, since it *is* designed for children.

Something seems to have gone wrong with the marketing, however, because a unit this powerful really shouldn't be classified as a 'toy' anymore.

The device is brand new and has been tested just once.

The internal batteries are charged via USB.

Incidentally, the user manual translates the term 'mixer' as 'stirring device.' Got it?"
