Studio Reorganisation

Posted on by The 5th Volt

I was unhappy with the way my office/studio was organised and it took all weekend to tear it all out and assemble new. The new scheme is that one side is where all my work is and the other side is where the synths are. The sides even have different power circuits and can be switched on/off completely independently from each other.

Again I was amazed how many cables one needs for power, MIDI, and audio connections.

I also decided to keep all my Volcas and the Wavestate and they are now also all connected and ready to play!

Superbooth 2025

Posted on by The 5th Volt

Superbooth was on again this year and I spent 4 frantic days with the guys at the AE Modular booth. This year we had tangible waves, BF Synth, Wonkystuff and Symbolic Circuits and it was chaotic, fun, entertaining, educational and very, very tiring!

Here are the videos from that week:

And a very special guest this year was Josh, who came all the way from California to jam with us with the Coils module which he is building and selling in the US.

The Generator Home Performance

Posted on by The 5th Volt

Unfortunately the performance at The Generator was cancelled due to inclement weather. However I had invested so much time into this one hour performance patch that I didn’t want to let it go to waste and instead performed it at home.

Here is the first video in which I’m explaining how it all works:

And finally in the evening I did the performance for the very first time in its full glory!

Superbooth Berlin 2024

Posted on by The 5th Volt

Superbooth was hectic again this year, especially with our own SupAEbooth inception booth! For the first time, Robert from tangiblewaves shared the booth with Toms aka Kyaa, John aka Wonkystuff and Gregory and Zeno from BFSynths. These guys were totally rocking it as you can see in this Instagram post:

Robert showed off the new IMDI modules which bring MIDI to the modular. Check out this video:

The other guys also had a lot of new gear to present so I wrapped all of their presentations into one loooong video (use the chapter links to navigate):

After 3 really full on days we all relaxed with some pizzas and beers and talked about what went well and what could be improved in future events. This video is probably for super nerds only, but it was fun to make, so enjoy!
