You're very welcome! Thanks for letting me have an extended play getting lost in Alt, and for chatting afterwards. Good luck with the kickstarter, although it doesn't look like you'll need luck!
Cheers buddy, I'm just trying to do my bit - your dedication to spending as much time at Korg Berlin as possible is an inspiration to us all! Did you get a lemonade out of it?
Splendid roundup of things that mostly I didn’t get to see. You’ve intrigued me about so many things! The socialising part of Superbooth is so ace but zaps the time. I only saw a fraction. It was however a treat to bump in to you again and briefly on the flight back.
Damn I'm glad I watched your summary. (: There's so much interesting stuff I overlooked, some in tents I spent considerable time lost in some machine right next to your picks. Never know if it's appropriate approaching synth youtubers at superbooth. I reckon they got to film or want to have their beer and gyros in peace,!÷ so I'm happy to spot them when I do but leave them to it. (:
I'm glad I was able to hip you to some extra interesting instruments - I was there for 2 days, but genuinely could have done with all three - so much to do! I think most of us would be more than happy to say hello at an event, I had some nice chats (not too many though as I rarely show my face in videos - I'm usually recognised by voice!)
Very nice coverage of the types of control and sounds you lean towards. Relevant for me since we share some of the aesthetics so a great watch. Cheers!
As I have taken in quite a few vids of the super booth, your estimation of the truly remarkable products stands alone in giving me what I love. The music you produced with the Norand mono stands out in my memory and definitely helped me in deciding to get one. Your unique perspective in this world is outstanding and I continue to gain greater understanding from your productions. Thanks for all of your work.
Hey Alex, it was really nice to meet you in person at SB24! And big thanks for mentioning our DROP in your SB video!!! The DFAM compression made us laugh a lot 😅😊😂
You too, and your enthusiasm for the DROP as you demoed it for me was contagious! I've sent you an email to hopefully talk about it some more. I hope you received it.
Those speakers were magical. Nebula Instruments actually make a transducer designed to be attached to your own metal plate (or other resonating surface) which might be the gateway drug if you know where to get 'a bunch of metal'... But it was the eowave one that got me all emotional. Hainbach has one and I think he did a full video on it if you want to hear how it records.
@@OscillatorSink The twilight zone synchronicity of the fact that just the other day i was browsing the Tube for fascinating inst and ran across the Euophone ha. But yes, I recall Hainbach using that gong speaker on that Home Stories album I think. The last track is even called Metalik ha.. Definitely an inspiring idea which i imagine to be quite,..malleable. I'm also curious about the Korg thing. So many wonderful things I'd like to try on the "resonators" of that one. Have fun... and PS looking forward to your next Minifreak expedition. A synthesizer whose golden fx section one rarely encounters on a synth (which yr last MF patches impressively exploit 👍)
Chris here’s the Wiggler guy. Thank you for sharing Wiggler! I’m glad you got some hands on time with it. It looks like you visited the booth when my colleague Jon was covering it. Sorry I missed you!
Hi Chris, no worries, Jon demoed and explained things extremely well - his passion for the instrument was obvious! Definitely an instrument I have my eyes on!
My tastes are always towards something more rough, it's probably born out of playing very loud guitars through stacks of fuzz pedals for 20 years! In this case though, it was less about dirt and more about feeling the voices affecting each other in some way - that was more what I was after here. It's a personal taste thing and I still thought it was lovely in it's current state - I spent a long time exploring it at the booth because I was enjoying it.
@@OscillatorSink I have come to terms with me eventually living in 4u Serge land. I’ve long been jealous of banana patching and the more I look into it the more I like the low level patch programming approach. Plus, I’m mostly a sound sculpting/noise/feedback guy. Serge is calling…
re;corder is basically the minimum viable wind controller, in the same sort of price class Zoot and WARBL are way more interesting tho. None of them are in the league of Aodyo Sylphyo, which is buy FAR the ultimate wind controller for synthesists, incredibly intuitive and responsive
This is nothing new, they use this sort of mechanism in Joysticks, hall sensors, no friction between parts, just magnets passing over, which means no wear and tear.
It's eurorack, but given that it takes midi for triggers, it would work fine in a pod on its own. 8 voices, any of the engines can be applied to any of the voices (there are melodic modes, emulations of classic drum machines, more raw engines, etc.). It's going to be less focused on one vibe compared to the blastbeats, and I think more classic sounding in many modes vs. The LXR).
They're somewhat complimentary in my opinion, I didn't get the chance to mess with the MF in person but the drop sounds really aggressive in a raw analog way, and the MF sounds intentionally digital. I bet with the two of them and a small mixer you could cause chaos.
I do not know why, but Im really bothered by how many of these 'products' from Super booth look like hobby projects. So many of them this year look unfinished, and slapped together boxes that make sound.
There are a lot of cool, small (often single person) companies making interesting things. Some of those things are literally prototypes, some of them are made by folks who's calling might not be industrial design. There were also a bunch of beautiful looking things there like the stuff from Love Synthesizers and Analog Sweden to name two. I'm glad that the chip shortage has eased and now we have all these new weird things coming out personally. Tastes differ though of course, and maybe my threshold is different to yours - years of collecting weird boutique fuzz pedals has made me very accepting of "a thing in a box"!
Thank you Alex :)

Great roundup! You covered a lot of stuff that I missed

The MSF Drop was my absolute favourite of the entire event. Your comparison to the DFAM was on point!😂
Wow, a face to the name ; )
Hi Alex,nice to finally meet you , virtually of course ; )
By far the most interesting SB video I've watched. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!

Pleasure as always Gaz! I regret missing some of the stuff happening later in the day at the venue too - Superbooth is a marathon, not a sprint!

Thank you for the only Superbooth video I need ;)
(Also love hearing someone else to be excited about metallic things and not just me ^_^ )
CLANK. ALL. THE. THINGS.
It is kind of a pilgrimage, isn't it. I will have to get over there next time. For me the Lambda Polypulse was the best thing there.

Lots here I’ve not seen covered anywhere else! Thanks
My tastes are probably a little... different (for better or worse!) than some channels. I'm glad I could hip you to some cool stuff.
Yep, res filtered noise drone noise filtered here too ;) Thx for the marathon rundown. I want to get ears on those reso speakers

Thanks! I could be only one day there but we have many common likings. But please get us some sounds more of your choosing 😅
Thanks for the overview. I backed the Alt, drawn by the clean tones and melodic possibilities so kinda disagree about the need for roughness

There’s no coming back once you start using bananas… also a fear of mine. Been looking at some Bugbrand stuff and I’m scared lol.
The lorre mill stuff is also very tempting. The double knot is fascinating and the comb room is just, like, something I'd want to own regardless.

I pray for your bank account.

electro magnetics was the buzz word this year. ilike the idea of using magnetic frequencies to control the innstruments.
Yeah, it was definitely the year of the physical world being part of the synthesis - I for one welcome it.
This is nothing new, they use this sort of mechanism in Joysticks, hall sensors, no friction between parts, just magnets passing over, which means no wear and tear.
Is the Flame Audio Fire drum synth stand alone or eurorack? How does it compare against Erica Synth's LXR02 or Twisted Electron's Blastbeats?
It's eurorack, but given that it takes midi for triggers, it would work fine in a pod on its own. 8 voices, any of the engines can be applied to any of the voices (there are melodic modes, emulations of classic drum machines, more raw engines, etc.). It's going to be less focused on one vibe compared to the blastbeats, and I think more classic sounding in many modes vs. The LXR).
Erica synths nightverb pedal was the only thing I found interesting this year.
Compare the MSF: Drop with the Body Synths Metal Fetishist--also an aggressive distorted drum machine, but I thought it sounded better than the Drop.
They're somewhat complimentary in my opinion, I didn't get the chance to mess with the MF in person but the drop sounds really aggressive in a raw analog way, and the MF sounds intentionally digital. I bet with the two of them and a small mixer you could cause chaos.
I do not know why, but Im really bothered by how many of these 'products' from Super booth look like hobby projects. So many of them this year look unfinished, and slapped together boxes that make sound.

I'm very upset and triggered that you didn't like 27 things. 27 is a much better number than 28. Boo 28.
It was roughly 28, which is roughly 27 if that helps?
