Dreadbox Polyend Medusa

video upload by ollilaboratories

"I have always wanted a Medusa ever since i tried it at Superbooth (i think?) many years ago, i found it very intriguing, both layout / workflow with the grid and the very special sound engine. For some reason i never got to the point actually buying one until the other day when i stumbled over one used for a very reasonable price. I mean, i dont even really have the space for it.. i just knew this was the time to get one. :)

What you see and hear in this video is me taking it for a quick testrun, i love its quirkiness, how one can assign the voices are being played which creates some really fun happy accidents all over the place. The grid is quantized into Dorian scale, root in D.

FX from the Vongon Ultrasheer Reverb and Red Panda Particle, EHX 720 Stereo Looper from for the intro loop recording. All is recorded live straight on 2 track with some minor touch up post, e.g limiter and little bit of EQ at the top.

Cheers and Enjoy!"

"I was asked how Iridium compares to Hydrasynth. Here are some pros and cons:

Hydrasynth pros:
Less expensive
Velocity and pressure sensitive pads (desktop) poly aftertouch and ribbon (keyboard version)
More filter and reverb models
Different wave mutators vs digiformer
Macro mode for the knobs
More flexible arpeggiator
Desktop version is smaller and lighter, and comes with rack ears

Hydrasynth cons:
Monotimbral, 8 voices vs Bi-timbral and 16 voices on Iridium
No resonator engine
No custom wavetables
Shorter wavetables (8 vs 128 waveforms in a table)
No sampler/granular playback engine
No engine like the kernel engines
Mono filters as opposed to stereo filters in Iridium
No proper sequencer vs two sequencers on Iridium"

Banthai Dub | Pure Jomox Alphabase Attempt

video upload by aureliofidelio

"I challenged myself by using only the Jomox ALPHABASE for creating this kind of Dub-vibe track - although from Dub-professionalists perspective this mostprobably not be regarded as genuine Dub-track.. ..anyways, here is the outcome of 5 hours work on the sounds and patterns of that track and the final live recording."

Playing my "GOBLINS" soundpack without talking. This is not a new soundpack, but an awesome old one. No external effects were used. All effects are internal effects of the Wavestate. No other hardware was used. No compressor, no limiter, no equalizer, nothing, but the pure Wavestate."

Love Synthesizers First Love interview and sounds superbooth 26

video upload by Take the Fear out the Gear

"Hi everybody this time we bring you the Love Instruments first love interview and sounds at superbooth 26

First Love is a desktop 4-part multi-timbral FM Synthesizer with deep FM editing and waveshaping options. FM synthesis doesn’t always have to be DX-7-style. Love Synthesizers proves this.

Instead of dragging the user into the next operator nightmare, they’ve developed their own playful concept consisting of a 7-inch touchscreen, knobs, and buttons. This is supported by a colorful user interface that tries to enhance this new FM synthesis experience

For example, to create FM, you swipe one oscillator to another with your finger, and so on. At Superbooth 2026, the developers, including founder Kári Halldórsson, showcased the progress they have made over the past few months.

This includes a finished sound engine featuring four polyphonic FM synthesizers, a dedicated onboard FX engine with reverb, delay, chorus, and freezer per part, and the now-implemented 'The Playground'.
