Superbooth 2020

I predict Elysia Karacter mark 2.

I think we’ll get to see a demo of the Cirklon 2.

480 euro now.
That’s still really low price for what you get.

quite like an alternative koma field fx kit.

Will there be a new synth from Arturia – particularly that thing discussed recently over in this thread ?

I’ve been eyeing the Field Kit FX for quite some time but this looks more appealing to me. At twice the price tag it isn’t an immediate purchase for me though.

Gotta love the name in any case. I get that it refers to the vintage vibe but I usually try to avoid 500 euro dust collectors.

The 4th part (aftershow events) contains some great performances with elektron gear.

My favorites are Swarm Intelligence and Headless Horseman.

So it looks like this year’s teaser video is just putting up a youtube scheduled broadcast. Expert Sleepers did it and now Behringer.

ADDED: Don’t bother to click thiis link there is NOTHING here, it’s a 45 second fake announcement – it ends with a bang and then nothing.

It’s a follow-on to the K2 (Behringer’s MS-20) and "The Warp Drive thing is reference to the unveil they did with their Poly D (nice synth btw) as a Behringer D with a warp drive.

So conventional thought has it that this is the K-2 with a keyboard, and maybe some sort of paraphonic or polyphonic voicings, but maybe it’s something besides that. We’ll find out soon enough.

Being this is Behringer they’re not done ! One possibility is a keyboard version of their Pro-1 which got a pretend view in a historic video Behringer did on the DMX drum machine. I comment on that here.

And there is something about a Monster Synth from them too. It’s probably their first big digital synth – perhaps a PPG Wave 2.3 work alike.

Interesting. I wonder if Korg will drop the OP Six. The NAMM preview was very mysterious

I do believe they said at NAMM that they would announce the OPSIX at Superbooth.

Heard the same, but I’m not seeing any news on the OPSix.

Given that it’s Korg i completely expect several big announcements. As i commented up-thread i also expect news relative their WaveSnake product line – perhaps a utility for user definable samples, and perhaps a big brother, something like the Prologue was to the Minilogue. But who knows.

So because it only comes a couple times a year, the time for throwing caution to the wind and plunging forward with full blown speculation – here goes:

The rumored synth from Arturia that i pictured above. Two ideas:

  • The MatrixFreak (a digital companion for the MatrixBrute)
  • The Pigments Synth

Either would please me – and GAS me most likely.

Rd-8 firmware update would be nice( general stuff )
Ms-1 firmware update would be nice ( proper glide , various stuff )

Possibly an rd9 update ?
Td3 modded version ?
Td6 update ?
A new ik multemidia small device ?
Notation circuit 2 ?
New korg volca thing ?

Lots of modular I’ll never buy or understand

Oz of Expert Sleepers announced a new Eurorack module.

The super disting EX plus alpha.

So you see two distings here (with shared displays) and it can be used as two distings. But it’s all the extra stuff that really bives this thing some pizzazz.

First the basic improvements:

  • Two distings at once
  • Higher sample rate (96kHz)
  • Much more RAM (so all delays, reverbs, samples, etc. can be much longer)
  • Lower latency when triggering samples (now 700µs)

But it has five new features that use both halves at once.

  • A super Looper, tape like in function.
  • Improvement in the sample playback, up to eight samples at same time. Samples are played from the SD, so no limit on length. The latency is improved so you can play drum samples. There are four configurable outputs, so you can do stereo.
  • A special melodic sample playback, with eight voice polyphony. You can play this from MIDI that are velocity switching.
  • An SD card with samples and wavetables from Spitfire Audio, Goldbaby and Adventure Kid.

The module should be available for order NOW, at your favorite stores – if they’re still in business.

The video gets a little confused in the middle.

The price is 300£.
