BUCHLA Ziggy Sound DEMO & Walkthrough — Superbooth 2026

video upload by Hispasonic

"At Superbooth 2026, Buchla unveils Ziggy: their most portable and accessible analog desktop synthesizer to date. Filmed at the Buchla booth in Berlin, this video walks through the instrument's main features and includes a full sound demo.

Ziggy distills the DNA of classic Buchla instruments into a compact, immediately playable format: complex oscillator, modulation oscillator, Cycler (envelope + pulser, à la 208c), lowpass gate and a stereo digital effects section with a brand-new ping pong delay. All modulation routing — normally done with patch cables on a Buchla — is handled through flexible assignments from the panel and the oscilloscope screen.

KEY FEATURES
Fully analog signal path + digital stereo effects True analog bypass (voltage divider) when dry is at zero "Programs" designed as a starting point, not as closed presets Fader quantization to scales (pentatonic minor, etc.) Oscilloscope screen doubles as the programming and mod-assignment display

CONNECTIVITY
USB-C (power + MIDI) plus a second USB-C dedicated to power 3.5 mm TRS Type A MIDI and 5-pin DIN MIDI
Eurorack patch points: gate, modulation, pressure and 1V/oct
Aux audio input and stereo outputs

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY
$999 street price. Available for pre-order, first units expected late summer / early fall 2026"

Modal Electronics ELEMENT One First Look — New Synthesizer Superbooth 2026

video upload by FutureMusic.es

"At Superbooth Berlin 2026, we had the chance to get hands-on with one of the most talked-about new instruments of the show: the Modal Electronics ELEMENT One. Modal Electronics — the British synthesizer manufacturer behind acclaimed instruments like the Cobalt8 and Argon8 — returns to the spotlight with a bold new concept that pushes the boundaries of what a modern synthesizer can be.

#futuremusic #synthesizer #musicproducer

The ELEMENT One is a brand-new synthesizer platform developed by Modal Electronics, combining advanced wavetable and modal synthesis engines in a sleek, performance-ready hardware format. Designed for both studio producers and live performers, it features a highly expressive interface, deep modulation architecture, and a sound engine capable of producing everything from lush, evolving pads to sharp, cutting leads and complex textural soundscapes.

At Superbooth 2026, we spoke directly with the Modal Electronics team on the show floor, exploring the instrument's key features, its synthesis philosophy, and what makes the ELEMENT One stand apart in an increasingly competitive synthesizer market. We dive into the hands-on controls, the filter section, the effects engine, and the overall build quality that Modal is known for.

Whether you are a synthesizer enthusiast, a professional sound designer, or simply passionate about the future of electronic music hardware, this is essential viewing from one of Europe's most important music technology events.

Monoplex Melodic Microtonal Sequencer - Superbooth 2026 Reveal

video upload by KOMA Elektronik

"We're revealing our Monoplex Sequencer at Superbooth 2026. Come check it out at our booth O400!"

KOMA Elektronik Monoplex
Melodic Microtonal Sequencer
Berlin-based synth makers KOMA Elektronik reveal Monoplex, a performance-driven Eurorack sequencer built for evolving melodic control. Inspired by the Komplex Sequencer, it distills its hands-on philosophy into a focused, single-channel design packed with features. Patch everything into everything and let the melodies evolve.

Every core parameter can be voltage-controlled, opening the door to endlessly shifting yet fully deterministic sequences. From tight Berlin-school patterns to generative melodic systems, Monoplex encourages experimentation.

At its heart is a significantly expanded quantizer. Beyond chromatic, major, and minor modes, Monoplex allows you to upload your own scales via MIDI SysEx using our browser-based tool. Choose from thousands of microtonal scales or create and audition your own instantly.

A dedicated MIDI-note capture mode lets incoming notes define the active scale on the fly. Microtonal scales can also be played on MIDI Synthesizers via Pitch Bend information.

Compact and hands-on, Monoplex delivers an endless supply of melodies and modulations inside your Eurorack system.
