It reminds me on things that were old in the early 80ties. Greaaaat!

Granular synthesis still remains to be explored by Elektron.

Octatrack and Monomachine can both do elements of granular synthesis.

Digitakt is even better in this regard, as the start and end positions can have decimals…
It’s really lovely.

I want one too. Even more than this Matriarch…

SILHOUETTE
A synth that turns video data into sound.
This looks crazy - a gryphon sort of beast all patched together. Not sure if this is a prototype or the finished item. There’s a little more here, but detail is still a little sketchy.

SILHOULETTE will be at booth E151

I’d say this is the craziest thing I’ve seen in a while. It looks like you could play mechwar on it!

This one isn’t as crazy – or maybe it is – IK Multimedia has broken some unusual ground in the past couple years.
Their prototype::
I would assume what they show at SB19 will be a little more complete than this.
What it is is still a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, hidden in a teaser.
There’s a teeny bit more here.
IK Multimedia is at booth W430

Supercritical - 16 Voice Demon Core Oscillator
Finnish based Eurorack startup will be showing two new modules. The Demon Core Oscillator a 16 voice oscillator, all DCOs, and an associated Expander module. The ‘finish’ on these modules looks very nice, nothing slap-dash here.
More detail here at Sonic State, including sound samples.
They’re said to be at the show but i have no info on where.

I think it sounds more like a cassette recorder that transforms into a killer robot tbh.
Sounds monstrous.
Quite possibly one of the best sounding Eurorack analog oscillators I’ve heard in a while, and 16 voices! Price is not bad at all…
I already have the Make Noise X-Pan in my cart for preorder. I need to stop seeing your posts.

So another nordic startup has their module complete and ready to ship after Superbooth.
Elektrofon - Klang
They showed a protoype of the Klang at SB last year. Here’s a video from last year that show what the Klang is all about.
That clock face is for setting up chords – pretty simple small module for chordal music generation, a polyphonic controller. Pretty unique.
They’re at booth W271

Illuminati confirmed. Elektron HAS indeed entered the modular scene.
I REPEAT, Elektron HAS entered the modular scene.

Suggestions of what to add to this thread from Nick and crew at Sonic Talk 575:
-
The firmware update of the Deluge which includes a looper may or may not have something else not yet disclosed to be shown at SB19. Synthstrom Audible is at booth E270.
-
Yamaha will be at SB19 and perhaps may just have a word or two about a redo or redo+ of the original CS-80. Yamaha is at booth H310.
I’ve only discovered the sounds of the cs80 a few years ago. If Yamaha could recreate a slimmed down and cleaned up version of this that would be great. I’ve also heard Big B is looking at making a clone as well. I’d like to see what Yamaha does though.

Pittsburgh Modular – Voltage Research Laboratory
This is a configuration with various Pittsburgh modules on the top, with a giant patch bay, separated out so the cables stay out of the way, and with one of their controllers in the bottom, again with a separate patch bay. Should be interesting to see more detail on this.

I watched some of Richard’s “practice demo” livestream yesterday, this thing looks REALLY well done. The function generators have a bunch of different trigger outs and stuff, which is really exciting for me. When I work in modular it’s pretty much all about envelopes modulating and triggering each other. YUMMM.
failed a bit there didn’t they…
