Enjoy The Silence/Depeche Mode (Novation Circuit Tracks Version)

video upload by Guinan

"‘Enjoy The Silence’ from 1990 is my favourite track from Depeche Mode. Not strictly 'dance music', it crossed over into most of the clubs I went to in the day. I have certainly danced to it! Many house and techno musicians cite a softspot for Depeche Mode and in turn the album this came from, ‘Violator’ reflected club dance music trends.

Sooner, or later, every synth player has a go at playing this song....

Everything on this track is coming from the Circuit Tracks. All synth sounds were either played or programmed/sampled and played back. The only exception is the bass part (see below). No extra synths or effects but in order to fit it all in this is a simplified arrangement."

NEW from NOVATION at Superbooth 2025: Launch Control XL MK3 and more

video upload by Hispasonic

"In this video from Superbooth 2025, Chris Calcutt from Novation presents the latest news from the brand. He highlights the launch of the new Launch Control XL MK3, a MIDI controller with 24 encoders, 8 faders and 16 programmable buttons. This new version includes a display that allows easy visualization of what is being controlled, as well as MIDI output for use with external hardware.

Launch Control XL v3 offers advanced integration with DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic and Cubase, allowing script-level control. The ability to save up to 15 different configurations makes it extremely versatile. It can be connected to devices such as Circuit Tracks for full access to deep synth parameters directly from the hardware.

Novation Components software allows full customization of all Launch Control XL controls, including high-resolution (14-bit) configurability and hotkey assignment.
The Launch Control XL v3 is expected to hit stores during the summer of 2025.

Also shown is the Launch Key 37, now available in white, unchanged in features but with new aesthetics. In addition, they present the special Swifty edition of the Bass Station 2, with artwork designed by the artist Swifty, who appears in the video making a work for the booth.

Redshift 6 - Superbooth 2025 Sound Demo

video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"Hear all our multitimbral Redshift 6 presets for the Superbooth 2025 — no talking, just pure playing.

These presets showcase a wide variety of sounds, from classic analog poly-synth layer splits to rich single-layer textures and one-key wonders.

The Redshift 6 is a 6-voice analog poly, but with 16 oscillators per voice, it goes far beyond the capabilities of a traditional 6-voice synth. Each voice can be played paraphonically, significantly extending the overall polyphony.

Thanks to its flexible voice allocation, voices can be used in splits, layers, or as fully independent parts — each with its own MIDI channel and controls. In essence, every voice is its own synthesizer. And with paraphony, even a single voice can become a polyphonic synth.

All the sounds in this demo are played live using a single Redshift 6, with no external FX.

Huge thanks to Novation for the Launchkey 61 MK4!

The multitimbral beta firmware is available now on the Supercritical Discord for all Redshift 6 users."

12 synths, drum machines, FX & innovations you need to know from Superbooth 2025

"For a few years now, Berlin’s Superbooth show has been a focal point for music technology gear announcements, but the 2025 iteration took this to another level. The sheer volume and variety of new music making gear on display in and around the FEZ event space was beyond anything we’ve seen in previous years.

MusicRadar was on the ground to test everything we could get our hands on. As the show drew to a close Managing Editor Si Truss, Reviews Editor Simon Arblaster and Tech Channel Editor Matt Mullen found a quiet corner in the woods to sit down for a roundtable (sans table) discussion about their highlights from the 2025 Superbooth show floor."

Novation Unveils Bass Station II Swifty Edition at Superbooth 2025 | A Fusion of Sound and Design

video upload by Jonathan Knightsnare

"At Superbooth 2025 in Berlin, I had the pleasure of meeting the Novation team and exploring their latest creation: the Bass Station II Swifty Edition. This limited-edition synthesizer is a collaboration between Novation and renowned British graphic designer Ian 'Swifty' Swift, known for his iconic work with labels like Mo’ Wax and Talkin’ Loud .

The Swifty Edition features a striking blue, grey, and orange color scheme, adorned with Swifty's signature typography and graphic motifs inspired by rave flyers, dubplate culture, and DIY zines . While the aesthetics are refreshed, the synth retains its powerful analog sound engine, including:

Dual oscillators with PWM and a sub-oscillator

Two analog filter modes: Classic and Acid

Flexible modulation with two envelopes and two LFOs

Pattern-based arpeggiator with step sequencer

AFX Mode for assigning a different patch to each key

Micro-tuning support for exploring alternative scales

Additionally, the Swifty Edition comes preloaded with over 60 new patches from artists like Legowelt, Pecq, and Maria Chiara Argirò, offering a diverse palette of sounds ranging from techno to jazz fusion .

This collaboration between Novation and Swifty not only celebrates the legacy of the Bass Station II but also bridges the worlds of music technology and graphic design, making it a standout release at this year's Superbooth."

Demo - Analog Techno - Novation Circuit Tracks Pack by A Force Truly Evil

video upload by Isotonik Studios

"This pack for Novation Circuit Tracks dives into the raw world of Analog Techno — driven by hands-on synth work and deep hardware. Built around patches inspired by classic analog machines and sequences created with hardware sequencers, the sounds are gritty, unstable and alive — full of saturation, modulation, and subtle imperfections that give them a true analog hardware feel.

To reinforce that analog soul, all drum samples were crafted using the Elektron Analog Rytm — a powerful analog drum machine known for its aggressive and analog sound. Its presence adds an unmistakable edge to the rhythm section, perfectly complementing the warmth and depth of the synth patches.

Includes 128 velocity-sensitive patches (64 original + 64 variations), 64 Analog Rytm drum samples and 18 sessions — ideal for Raw Techno, Minimal, IDM, Industrial, Acid and related genres.

Analogue soul.

Since 2013, Bass Station II’s deep capability, raw character, and unbeatable value have made it a modern classic. Now, together with British designer Ian “Swifty” Swift, we’re reimagining it with a fresh, new look, that brings underground attitude to a synth that's long been a driving force in electronic music.

Powerful analogue oscillators

Bass Station II’s true-analogue signal path begins with two tuneable, syncable oscillators with four waveforms each plus, a sub-oscillator for even more low end and adjustable portamento. The two dedicated LFOs allow for modulation of other parameters via four waveforms of their own.

"A whole bunch of hardware synthesizers!

The sequences you hear are from my modular system which includes VCZIII oscillator, filter from Feedback Modules, Behringer System 100m and 2500 modules. Also some Roland System 500 gear. The sequences are mainly from the Korg SQ64 - but I've also used Behringer 960 to do some things, as well as getting the SQ64 to trigger the 182 sequencer - see if you can spot it :)

Vocoder bit was done on the Roland E4. Other strings and sounds were from Streichfett, Pro 800 and Novation Peak. Effects are MXR Flanger or in the Modular system: Strymon Magneto, Intellijel Sealegs, Feedback Modules 106 Chorus."
