Any other synthesizer geeks glued to Superbooth?

If you're a synthusiast (synth enthusiast) like myself, you've likely been tuning into Superbooth, a synthesizer conference that happened in Berlin just last week.

There were a lot of awesome product announcements, fun demos, and excellent coverage by the many, many wonderful synth YouTubers out there.

I'm curious what y'all's favorite synth announcements were, how you're getting your coverage, and anything else in the synth universe that you'd like to talk about. 🎹

What's funny is that this posts of yours led me to discover pretty cool things. I still remember when I came across a post when you were talking about Midjourney (before it became so popular).

Aww awesome!! I'm siked to hear that, Juan. πŸ™Œ Are you a musician or just generally interested in some of this music tech?

And haha, Midjourney really captured my interest when it first dropped. I used up my free credits in no time... generated a lotta Steampunk content like the oddball I am. πŸ˜…

Haha nice to hear! I can't call myself a musician, although a part of 2016 and then 2017 I was really into EDM and got a little into music production.

And so, synths and the like were something I was particularly interested in. πŸ˜†

Word up! Well I can just barely call myself a synthesizer player, I'm more of an aspiring synthesist than anything else haha. Just to say, we're basically in the same boat. The allure of EDM and music production is strong! πŸ˜†

The allure is indeed quite strong. Although I'm a poor keyboard player ahaha just played around with synts and sequencers.

I've been really digging the coverage by True Cuckoo on YouTube. Dude is kinda quirky, knows his synths, and is just a lotta fun to listen to (helps that he has a super chill New Zealand accent). I highly recommend checking out his channel beyond the Superbooth coverage for his synth tutorials, breakdowns, and reaction vids.

But yeah, here he is at Superbooth learning about UDO Audio's Super Gemini:
