We met Dave Smith. The famous synth pioneer is very agile and inventive, and he doesn’t seem to become older! He proudly presented the Prophet-6, OB-6 and Pro-2 – the current first class instruments of DSI. I had some questions regarding the family’s prehistoric ancestor Prophet-5, but Dave was not very much interested, which is, admittedly, quite understandable. True pioneers don’t live in the past. They look ahead!
Classy “modern analog” synths by DSI …
Just around the corner there was the Arturia MatrixBrute.
Moog presented its products in a dark room with Hippie atmosphere …
The first run of the Schmidt Synthesizer is sold out. A second run is in production!
If there was a SUPERBOOTH award, we’d give it to Modal Electronics …
A Minimoog in eurorack format: the AJH Mini Mod series.
Yamaha concentrated on their new Montage keyboards …
Roland hired a DJ for presenting their latest instruments. The sound was way TOO loud. But thank God, this was an exception at SUPERBOOTH16.
MFB showed their new (white) product line and the classy Dominion-1 …
Ah … just a quick impression of Berlin. Interesting decor …
The weather was fine, and it lacked for neither food nor drink at SUPERBOOTH16 …
Back to business. Sector Sieben build special suitcases for Eurorack modules.
What about a graffiti design?
Vermona showed their “synth of the year”, the ’14 Analog Synthesizer …
… and the Mono Lancet ’15 …
Nonlinearlabs currently develops the C15 keyboard (synthesizer), an real musician’s instrument with no compromises …
C15 is a FM-synthesizer without MIDI (!), aimed for synth PLAYERS. It gives you access to every single aspect in sound. There’s a high-quality 61-note keyboard and two ribbon controllers … and it generates its own network, so you can hook up your iPad (or whatever) for convenient programming via touchscreen …
Besides the expo, SUPERBOOTH16 offered many workshops, concerts and other events. Actually, it was a comprehensive cultural experience!
We’re looking forward to SUPERBOOTH17 …
