PlayFader ‘mnml’ Cr24 Edition & SUPERBOOTH Sale



via Play All Day

"PlayFader ‘mnml’ Cr24 edition

Featuring a black recycled ABS PlayCase, custom black flat keycaps and black chrome faders.

The Cr24 is a sleek re-interpretation of the original Yellow PlayFader and shares the same innovative functionality. The green LEDs of the main display finish off the design in style while being super-clear in the darkest and most demanding of situations.

The Cr24 is currently a very limited run.

All the PlayFader button colours from the original are now represented on the front panel, allowing you to use colour to learn your way around the functions.

Synesthesia is when you hear music, but you see shapes or you hear a word or a name and instantly see a colour. The choice of colours and words in PlayFader’s design are intended to create a truly intuitive user experience.

This gives PlayFader many of the qualities that make a great instrument - A simple and immediate user interface with deep and flexible functionality that endlessly rewards exploration and play with fun… and great music!

Available now. 10% off all items until the end of SUPERBOOTH25"

Additional info on the sale:

To celebrate, there’s 10% off PlayFader and anything else from our web store from now until the end of Superbooth25.

This applies to both the original yellow PlayFader and new ‘mnml Cr24’ edition 💛🖤

Although we don’t have a stand this year it does mean that I get to go and nerd out, just like everybody else!

It’s such an amazing event to catch up with friends, hear amazing music and, of course, explore all the new things that go ping, and bleep and squelch…

Sorry to anyone who wanted to stop by our table and see the new ‘mnml Cr24’ edition in real life. I’m around and I’ll have one with me so if you’d like to see it/try it, message me on instagram and we can figure something out ✌️

PlayFader owners!
If you’re there and want to pick up one of the new Combo Cards, I’ll have a few with me, hit me up and say hi!

So… for the next few days…

💛 It’s a celebration of all that’s great about Superbooth25 💛

'I replaced all the din connectors and also replaced one of the exponential converter of the VCO 1 with the excellent PA726 as it had pitch stability issues. It has no influence on the actual sound vs the original. Just the pitch tracking is improved."
