225 exhibitors were\u00a0at the Superbooth18 from 3.-5. May in Berlin. The\u00a0event took place in the so-called FEZ (leisure and recreation center). This year it was two weeks later than 2017 and so the surrounding Wuhlheide Park was full of spring –\u00a0green through and through. A very pleasant setting for the concerts on the floating stage, in the beer garden behind the FEZ and in the caf\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

Superbooth is primarily a trade fair for electronic musical instruments and once again focuses on modular systems.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0huge number of (new)\u00a0companies now build modules for Doepfer’s long-established Eurorack format.\u00a0One gets the impression\u00a0that everyone\u00a0even slightly involved in this industry wants to build modular stuff, reckoning that it will surely pay off. Take a standard effect pedal. As a “guitarist’s pedal” it might cost\u00a0200 \u20ac (with robust metal housing and power supply), but\u00a0as a Eurorack module, it could go for twice as much.<\/p>\n

It’s almost a trademark of Superbooth: all those colorful spaghetti-cables …<\/p>\n

The modular scene so strongly dominates\u00a0that even the big companies feel compelled to be present. So there they were: Yamaha (with a well-respected museum department – including CS-80, VP-1, DX-1 – see report part 2), Roland (with new Malekko modules), Korg, and, finally Behringer with a\u00a0whole bunch of new\u00a0synthesizer clones (RB- 808, MS-101, Odyssey, Pro 1). No “news” though from Novation, Elektron, Waldorf or Arturia.<\/p>\n

Dave Smith Instruments surprised the community with the brandnew Prophet X – a very good sounding 8-voice stereo sampler.\u00a0Each of its voices\u00a0consists of 2 oscillators with digital waveforms and 2 oscillators with sampling. The filters – Ladder filters – are used here for the first time for an instrument by Dave Smith.<\/p>\n
