video upload by Reuben Jones

"Tell Farfisa in the comments if you think the saxophone preset on their Syntochestra 4 sounds like a sax, or if it sux! Bear in mind it's an analogue design from 1975-80!

This is a solo in an upcoming track.

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Novation - Bass Station 2 10th Birthday [Polyphonic Chained Bass Stations]

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024 we caught up with Danny from Novation and celebrated 10 years of the splendid *Bass Station 2 *by hooking up 10 Bass Stations so they can be played polyphonically. This Frankenstein's synth has been capped of with a filter cutoff knob that is ten times its normal size, and an Oy! random patch generator which gives useable patches most of the time. The whole thing is controlled by the 61SL with all the notes managed by a Max Patch running on a Mac hidden under the table. It makes us wonder if a Bass Station Polysynth might be in the offing, though perhaps not in this rather wild form factor!

Bass Station 2 Price: 449.99 GBP

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Modular Audio Tools - MAT 16X8 Audio Interface

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, Sonic State caught up with Martin from Modular Audio Tools to take a closer look at his latest creation - MAT 16X8 a 16 channel analog audio interface designed for portable use. This innovative interface boasts 16 in and out channels, 8 channels in stereo mini jacks, and is bus powered for ultimate convenience. Martin explained that he was inspired to create this compact interface after struggling to find a small-sized audio interface with multiple channels on the market.

The interface offers high-quality audio and MIDI capabilities, with the outputs being DC coupled for potential CV control. Martin hinted at future plans to expand the interface to support up to 32 channels and potentially offer a Eurorack-compatible version. While the interface is still in the prototype stage, Martin is optimistic about pricing, aiming to offer it below 500 Euros and possibly even as low as 400 Euros with enough demand. With its class-compliant 2.0 technology, this interface promises plug-and-play compatibility with various platforms and DAWs, making it a versatile option for musicians on the go.
