Hey Jeremy, Chris the wiggler guy here. Thanks for the nice words about Wiggler and sorry I missed you! My friend Jon did a great job covering the table half the time so I could walk about and enjoy the show. I hope to catch you another time!
I think it's really interesting that these companies are starting to make boxes aimed at very specific popular dance elements like the rumble, the riser fxs, the break chopper. I know it's maybe more narrow than the standard modular philosophy, but it's also surprising that manufacturers haven't thought of it before.
Interesting point. I think in a world where ki music and trends on social media dominate the market it’s very needy to have products that are not aimed to a specific genre or trend.
I think it's really horrible actually. It reinforces the move towards formulaic music instead of breaking away from it. Music genres going through phases of convergence and divergence is nothing new, off course, but it seems to be especially narrow right now with youtube tutorials, spotify algorhythm, beatport lists, plugin specialization and tiktok/instagram plays. Techno rumble + noise riser + splash is a specific example that makes we want to run away from the mainstage to a niche stage
@Dekkie61 might have to agree to a point. Techno rumble is pretty variable and subjective. Lumping it into one thing seems limiting...but, it could be handy in 'the toolkit' for professional producers or those who want quick painless rumble. The Rumble is so variable tho...
Helpful for live performance cases with limited space, but gets old quickly. There are a lot of modules that do that specific thing well, but are also versatile tools for other things, like Electus Versio that can do any rumble you can think of, but is also a delay, reverb, atmosphere generator and a lot of other things. Joranalogue modules are also designed in a similar way.
I'm pretty sure the Metal Fetishist drum synth is referencing the movie Tetsuo: The Iron Man where the antagonist is credited as that name. If you like the sound of that synth, listen to the movies soundtrack. I think Body Synths really got the sound down imo!
Effin Richie Hawtin is my effin hero too!! Thanks for sharing that moment, it's one of many things that draw me to your videos, cameo's for dogs and cats and the occasional superhero staggering through. 🙆♀
I'm so jealous, I've been trying to get my hands on an M8 (and a micromonsta) for well over a year now without paying scalpers and it's proven to be impossible. I finally just gave up and quit checking about a month ago.
It seems like theres a fair amount on reverb for non scalper prices now that the mkii is anounced. I ordered one and its coming today so I guess Ill find out if its legit or not lol Update: It was in fact legit! There's been several more posted for under $600 on reverb since I bought it too!
4min 30 seconds... The drum synth with the sequencer that messes around with timing conventions, shrinks and extensions... the one you said you've never seen before... . Just an FYI about those type of sequencer functions, BEING that the old Yamaha RM1x and RS7000 units can do this quite easily with simple 2 knob functions, in addition to an 'append track' and 'append phrase' "job" functions.... Basicaly its a menu setting to shrink or stretch a phrase (think ableton clip) or track (explains itself) These are are JOB (edit) functions BUT... the next part im about to describe, is where the magic is.. . When u use these phrase shrinks and extensions, it does exactly as you described, BUT youre not limited to locked time signatures or measures. You can use percentiles, measures, and different quantisation and shuffle and timing functions locked n as an edit... BUT even better than that... Outside of the Job function, youve got the knob controlled octaver and harmonizer (think chord generator but manual and knob controlled) in addition to gate (sustain length) and velocty... ALL in realtime... PLUS a relatime "Grid Groove" editing function, which is a step sequencer/arpegiator very much like the arpegiator in Sylenth, which can run alongside everything else, but IN REALTIME... so you can do you job thingy... tweak it in the Grid Groove, then tweak even more in realtime using the knobs or simply assign the the 4 knob functions to 4 different knobs (theyre usually 2 knobs which a "knob layer" button literally giving one knob 2 functions and u swap out by pressing a button.. U can avoid all that.. just assign the knobs.. .. Its one of the best features in the sequencers... Better in the RS7000 as its a sampler and fully loaded 16 part sample based synth (or rompler) and looper (and yes, you can do that appending of the track or phrase to a sampled loop, pitched tone, sampled tone, rompler, drum or synth or anything you throw in it.... And when ppl discover theRS7000 is Akai sample compatible (read only) they kinda freak coz the RS7000 is as good as (and in some cases and functions BETTER) than the MC707 and SP404mk2 and its nearly 25yrs older... It even has a customisable drawable LFO lollll . If ppl cant afford the RS, grab an RM1x and hook it up to an external device or sampler... itll pass everything I just described ... ALL OF IT.... through midi... Mind you there are enough rompler sounds to mess around on the RM1x and some of the tones have actually become mroe relevant NOW than they were back in the day.....
The Dirtywave M8 seems really nice. I'm poor though, so I'm tempted to instead use Little Piggy Tracker on a Miyoo Mini Plus. It's based on the LSDJ workflow just like the M8 is, and has basically the same screen and physical controls, but it isn't as full-featured or polished. However, it's about $40 instead of $650+, so... I can actually afford it.
Always love seeing your Superbooth episode(s). Glad it went off without a hitch for both the toads and the synth foxes. Here's hoping, one of these years, the stars will align and I'll be able to go there both for Germany and the synths and the excellent folks (present company included) who go there to play with the fun music toys. Can't wait to see what you come up with the new M8 2.0. It looks very, very slick!
Thnx Jeremy! 😊 I was just catching up with all the video's to see what I missed while being at the booth all days and then my cases came along 🤗 thnx for the shout-out 😍
I have a Leaf Audio Soundbox and love it, but haven’t really found a good way to incorporate it into my setup. I’d LOVE it if you did a video with one.
Already have the Take 5 and adding the Teo 5 is tempting. The Take 5 sounds beautiful, and the Teo 5 also looks beauty, but I could also sell the Take 5 and another synth or two and go for the Polybrute 12, which looks pretty sweet.
Saw you in the morning on day 1 and you looked sooooooo stressed. I wish I had gotten a chance to say hi, but I wasn’t getting in your path on that occasion. 😂 Thanks for this souvenir vid!
Easily the only Superbooth videos I watch. Not just because of the Yoko-less hotel bed vibe, but mostly because of the Yoko-less hotel bed vibe. Also the beepboop roundup is the best.
The Supercriticals continous filter desing already exists as a standalone module. It's called Neutron Flux. Red Shift is the previous modules combined in a desktop unit.
oh no... Nemo has so much potential, but because it won't play with my other semi-modular and modular gear...(/sad trombone noises) not for me. Otherwise, some really amazing stuff!!! Rumble makes it so easy to get that sound, brilliant if that's your thing. Really interesting to see someone approach fm synths like that, hope to see more about it! Thank you for letting us live vicariously through you, wish I was at superbooth lol
Another great idea for Mr. Schneider's Superbooth would be to have, just like the oh so famous BERGHAIN,... some darker rooms. That would expand the target audience by measures!!! I will contact him soon enough and am sure that he will listen and execute. Currently only people that know about gear come there... but it should be an educational event that introduces more people into the magic of sound :-D Jeremy! Don't get me wrong. U know I'm a unicorn. I hope u had a great time again in Berlin. Btw. FEZ is cool and stuff... but if he were really cool. Next Superbooth will be in Tempelhof... we'll see. w It's also more central. Also he could invite Lady Ada and Naomi Wu... to equalize the XX/XY ratio. They both love electronics as much as the rest of the audience and wouldn't say no. Andrew from Asia was already there... did you see Look Mum No... this year?
Damn, missed you this year as well. Wouldn't have bothered you, just would have said hello and thank you for everything you do. Well maybe another time. (: I'd love to see you play a life set there someday. I know unlikely but a neat prospect. (;
Ohmforce plugins were inspirational for me back in the day they always had the coolest artwerk and sound great , and it's great to see the dirtywave m8 is slowly catching up with my Samsung phone +ps4 controller m8 headless combo 😉
1000'nd like! Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding! Oh my, I'm so exited 😬🙄 Also I remember Ohmicide plugin, the most awesome decimation/distortion/overdrive/more stuff that could make the most uninspired drum loop sound like straight outta NIN
I want that visual synth just to make content. Imagine just walking around your city and making music, and loading them up on youtube, as your "city sounds". That would be incredible.
Hey Jeremy, Chris the wiggler guy here. Thanks for the nice words about Wiggler and sorry I missed you! My friend Jon did a great job covering the table half the time so I could walk about and enjoy the show. I hope to catch you another time!
Best Superbooth 2024 video so far.
Great products showcased and short explanations of what they do.
Really good work Jeremy 👌

Oh wow that makes sense!!
Exactly, that's what it's from. Best film of all time.
Wiggler and Freds Lab Manatee really blew my mind this year. Awesome machine with amazing haptic feel also.
Really nice to meet you Jeremy! Thanks for your time and kind words about Groc!
You were happiest talking about the frogs getting it on in a safe space! Kindness wins, good job superbooth!
Wow, the synth world seems to be bubbling with creativity at the moment. Really fun to watch!
It was nice meeting you at the Moog presentation at Riverside studios! Thanks for enjoying our DJ set and the kind words to my DJ colleague and me. :)
Effin Richie Hawtin is my effin hero too!! Thanks for sharing that moment, it's one of many things that draw me to your videos, cameo's for dogs and cats and the occasional superhero staggering through. 🙆♀
Glad to see someone mention Groc. I did a bunch of samples for the unit and I am super excited to get to see one in person to build patches for it.
Nice. Can’t wait to get my Groc unit.
@@martindu4 I am stoked to see what you will do with it!
Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words about Oneiroi, Jeremy, really really appreciated!

It’s totally worth getting one, don’t get discouraged!
June 10 pre orders open for round 3
Are you on the Discord server? That's where you get all the info on when preorders open ahead of time.
Hi Jeremy, thanks for coming by and talking about Brainstep and MC-2oh2. See you again soon
The First FM went from “this looks silly and too twee by half” at the first render to “I must have this”after the SB demo

Thanks for the Groc insight, been looking at maybe backing it
What a pity we didn't met at Superbooth this year. Maybe next year❤
I have a Leaf Audio Soundbox and love it, but haven’t really found a good way to incorporate it into my setup. I’d LOVE it if you did a video with one.

Thanks Jeremy for featuring the Manatee in your SuperBooth report. Great to talk to you too 😉
Thank you for showing your favs, especially the prototypes! Did you see the Lambda PolyPulse? I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on it!
Pretty wild and huge, and I don't know enough about it to make an assessment
Saw you in the morning on day 1 and you looked sooooooo stressed. I wish I had gotten a chance to say hi, but I wasn’t getting in your path on that occasion. 😂 Thanks for this souvenir vid!
Easily the only Superbooth videos I watch. Not just because of the Yoko-less hotel bed vibe, but mostly because of the Yoko-less hotel bed vibe. Also the beepboop roundup is the best.
Glad you will cover the Redshift 6 when it's out. It's my most anticipated gear at the moment.
Have to save this video for sure. It’s going to take time to look all this up!
It was nice to randomly run in to you on the street in Berlin! ;)
Hope to see your take on the torso s4 at some point
The Supercriticals continous filter desing already exists as a standalone module. It's called Neutron Flux. Red Shift is the previous modules combined in a desktop unit.
Thankful you found the time to do this overview ❤
Thanks so much for this video! Some amazing new stuff here. I'm drooling over the ONEIROI, can't wait to get one.
Dig the fireside chat vibe.. don't have any friends to nerd out on synths with, somehow needed this!
finally some stuff off the beaten path
Best coverage of Superbooth!
frogs are a type of oscillator.
oh no... Nemo has so much potential, but because it won't play with my other semi-modular and modular gear...(/sad trombone noises) not for me. Otherwise, some really amazing stuff!!! Rumble makes it so easy to get that sound, brilliant if that's your thing. Really interesting to see someone approach fm synths like that, hope to see more about it! Thank you for letting us live vicariously through you, wish I was at superbooth lol
i know my model 1 M8's are fine as is, but god do i want to get my hands on the new chunky model 2 M8
June 10th, round 3
Was nice to meet you again at Superbooth. Take care.
Great to see you, all to brief as always and nice to see this round up.
Another great idea for Mr. Schneider's Superbooth would be to have, just like the oh so famous BERGHAIN,... some darker rooms. That would expand the target audience by measures!!!

Andrew from Asia was already there... did you see Look Mum No... this year?
Damn, missed you this year as well. Wouldn't have bothered you, just would have said hello and thank you for everything you do. Well maybe another time. (:
I'd love to see you play a life set there someday. I know unlikely but a neat prospect. (;
Oh! I missed you, would have loved to have a chat. Glad you had a good time.
Landscape Ferrous seems like a more random/scattergun eBow …
It looks pretty cool. I'd get one but I'd also be very careful of keeping those magnets the hell away from my pickups.
Nice man! Thx for the coverage!
Any thought on the pwm mantis
New M8, also frogs mate (M8), coincidence? 😂😂
Have you seen the equis MPE controller? Looks super interesting.
Good vid. Would be nice if the m8 was in stock so I could grab one.
loved that m8 track at the end!
Ohmforce plugins were inspirational for me back in the day they always had the coolest artwerk and sound great , and it's great to see the dirtywave m8 is slowly catching up with my Samsung phone +ps4 controller m8 headless combo 😉
What a wild year for Granular Synth drops.
Hope you recorded some toad song for samples.
Ohm Force Rumble: any idea about availability?
The super critical red shift six sounds beautiful!!! ❤️ 05:58
24:45 Wiggler is so sick! So much fun to play
Thanks for the recap. Safe travels back home.
Thank you, this video let me see so much no one covered.
Thank you.
Dang - that Befaco thing is both in my budget and sold out.
Thanks, summary videos like this make it so much easier to get an idea of what might be of interest
This helped so much with my fomo. New M8 looks so good, can’t wait for the 27th and that first batch shipppppp
I got a chance to play with it at SB and it’s gorgeous.
Fantastic overview! Many thanks!
Nice🤘🏾. Don’t sleep on that Schillinger brother 🔥🫡
There's an Alex Jones frog joke in there somewhere. (Edit: Kept it family friendly for ya, Jeremy. Love you m8)
The base station stand is 😂❤
I like this format. simple and efficient. enjoy🎉
Voltage Lab 2 an honorable mention?
Thanks Jeremy, great review, wish i had gone too!!!
Thanks for the overview!
Don’t sweat it. All toads are frogs.
If you call a toad a frog, he is charmed. But if you call a frog a toad, he is heartbroken and his self esteem will never recover 💔
Thx for the update, befaco oneiroi is on my list.
Have nice day in Berlin and a save travel home.
decks, efx & a comically large educational synth
The fox is lox!
Defo the best summary about Superbooth overall what was happening there 😊
The Wiggler went Wiggle fr.
New rabid elephant gear!
… salivates…
Lol I thought they were called Rabbit Elephant 😅
The wiggler looks so awesome
oh snap you know Mikey too? he's come through and done some killer VR shows now and then
1000'nd like! Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding! Oh my, I'm so exited 😬🙄 Also I remember Ohmicide plugin, the most awesome decimation/distortion/overdrive/more stuff that could make the most uninspired drum loop sound like straight outta NIN
Metal Fetishist is cringe but it’s a nod to Tetsuo the iron man and that’s pretty rad.
Surprised dreadbox murmux was not in here.
Nothing from TE ?
Woah FWA right to Superbooth, you gotta be exhausted.
Didn't go to FWA this year but next year might be insane haha
OHMICIDE MODULE? Oh man. I used to love ohmicide. That's so crazy
Thanks. Nice
PNW represent!
woweewowwoowoo, gonna have to get an oxy meta!
Favorite things at superbooth? Bo's lips, apparently!
Romantic bleep bloops for toad luvin. ❤
that are lots of favorites :)
Mr Plus8 🤘
I want that visual synth just to make content. Imagine just walking around your city and making music, and loading them up on youtube, as your "city sounds". That would be incredible.
Oh no! More toys! 🤣
black corp??
Prost!
Betreten Verboten!
Mehhhhhhhh. Just give me a new Electribe MK3 for f**ks sake.
I want that mylar melodies sticker!
Market affiliate slip this guy a fiver 🤝🏻👍🏻 he does not vibe well
