"Session 1: Next Wednesday, September 6th, 6-7pm, Free
We're super psyched to be restarting our basic synth classes this fall! This series is called Getting Into Modular, and is a set of recurring casual presentations that answers the questions we hear in the shop often "How do I get into modular synthesis?" or "Where do I even start!?!?". Each session is an hour in length with ample time for questions, meant to de-mystify the modular synthesizer module by module using the eurorack systems we have set up in our shop.
This is a great way to learn the basics of patching a modular synth, and to see if you're into the workflow and flexibility that an open-architecture synthesizer provides.
This first session is all about Sound Sources, and here’s an outline of the topics we’ll be discussing:
Generating Sound
Oscillators - Shape designer
Noise - Every frequency
Filters - Feedback loops
Control Voltage
3742 N Mississippi Ave, 97227

"This video shows all 8 algorithms of the Erica Synths Pico Voice eurorack module.
The Pico Voice, from Erica Synths, is a highly versatile Eurorack modular sound source that is able to emulate a handful of extremely useful synthesis models. It contains 8 synthesis algorithms: Karplus Strong, Chord generator, Wavetable synthesis, TB303 emulation, Pulse width mod, Supersaws, Wavefolded osc and Harmonic saturation. There are two parameter controls per algorithm, with a CV input to control one of those two parameters. Despite the small size, the Pico Voice sounds giant!
"Gitary w sklepach muzycznych męczono "Schodami do nieba". Syntezatory niektórzy oceniają próbując zagrać intro 'Jump!'. A jaki może być ostateczny test dla klona TR-606? Tylko Franek Kimono! :D
Coverek totalnie na luzie, także proszę go nie traktować zbyt poważnie ;-)
W roli głównej automat perkusyjny TT-606, do tego Korg Poly61 jako bas, i stringmaszyna Elex K4 przepuszczona przez phaser Behringer VP1. Intro na B5.
Podkład nagrany live na komputer, potem dołożyłem głosy."
"The original VOX Continental, a transistor organ that appeared in the 1960s, is a timeless classic beloved by top players as a practical keyboard with a home on any live stage. Now, a completely new keyboard that carries this concept into the present day has been again released by the VOX brand.
The VOX Continental uses a simple and intuitive interface that allows quick accessibility of every function. The high-quality sound engine section is centered on organ, electric piano, and acoustic piano, and provides a wealth of stage-ready sounds. In addition, the Continental features a powerful effects section to enhance these sounds, and even analog valve drive powered by Nutube, the cutting-edge vacuum tube. It's an instrument that perfectly fits your live performance requirements for a variety of styles including rock, pop, jazz, and more.
The air of tradition that emanates from VOX organs, together with the innovation of decades of research, down to the illuminated VOX logo shows the new VOX Continental is a fusion of both, redefining the existence of the modern stage keyboard."

The following is the press release announcing SUPERBOOTH18, followed by videos of SUPERBOOTH17 from the host of Superbooth, Andreas Schneider, aka HerrSchneider himself.

"SUPERBOOTH18 will return to FEZ Berlin in 2018: 03. - 05. May 2018
SUPERBOOTH18 is the first and the largest European trade fair for electronic musical in- struments, giving you the opportunity to experience the latest innovations and rare instru- ments. At SUPERBOOTH18 the visitors get the chance to meet a large number of exhibi- tors from all over the world in an incomparable atmosphere. In addition to the exhibition stands, there will be around 30 daily concerts and live performances, workshops and talks taking place again.
Due to the strong demand for this years exhibition space it was not possible to fit all inte- rested exhibitors to the floor plan. For next years edition there will be an extra area for tho- se manufacturers who could not take part in 2017 and for new candidates. With this extra room it is possible to expand the range of product categories shown at SUPERBOOTH18 for an even more complete experience. Because of the great success in 2017 the organi- zers have decided to return to FEZ Berlin in 2018 and develop the event in the same ve- nue. The unique design of the FEZ building, the outside-area, the exhibitor areas, studios, workshop rooms and food court provide an excellent basis for SUPERBOOTH18 and they are spread barrier-free over three floors.
The very well received show program of this years SUPERBOOTH17 has been recorded and edited in the past weeks. Selected concerts and performances will be released online within the next months. This is a nice opportunity for everyone who hasn’t been able to see the show program of SUPERBOOTH17 to get an impression of the atmosphere of this incomparable event."
"The first real performance - officially the AKAI-Gespraechskonzert - on SUPERBOOTH17 was the introduction by >Mario Hammer and the lonely robot< for his latest record release called >je L'ai calisseé la< .. He played another gig the same afternoon on the seaside stage, but unfortunately we did not record that one. So please buy the record in a competent store to calm down or for your next aftershow event?"
"One of the uncounted real synth concerts and a really smart performance on SUPERBOOTH17 was the product presentation alias Gespraechskonzert for KORG in the Cinema. Jörg Sunderkötter - known as Sound&Recording's earlier chief editor, here on the keyboards - and his studio partner Joker Nies - also an expert for circuit bending - had some problems to find on stage but then .. turn it loud and see yourselves."
