Roundup 20 February | Super 6 ST49, Buchla 292t & more
Well, it’s safe to say Make Noise have a hit on their hands with the new MultiMod - this modulation-mangling marvel has become our biggest-selling module of the year so far. If you weren't quick enough to snap one up last week, a third batch is already on its way and available to pre-order now. We can also highly recommend Sound On Sound’s recent podcast with Make Noise founder Tony Rolando. He gives a great insight into the challenges the company has faced in the past couple of years and talks about their exciting plans for the future.
Ahead of the next wave of stock of their sensational motorised MIDI controller, Roto-Control, Melbourne Instruments have released an in-depth video manual. YouTube hero Loopop has also delivered a comprehensive review. Check them out to whet your appetite!
In other news, Squarp have released major firmware updates to their Hapax and Hermod+ sequencers. Hapax OS2.10 now supports up to 16 patterns per track, a new arranger function, mix/mute performance mode and SH-101-style step input, to name just a few; while Hermod+ OS2.00 offers an audio tuner and four new internal modulation sources per track.
There’s lots of other good stuff happening at the moment, so read on to discover more about some exciting new arrivals, videos and events.
Until next time,
Jason, Aleks, Kyle, Luke, Molly, Rob & Tom

Next week promises to be a belter Attack Release night at Bloc here in Glasgow, with live sets from Accident Machine, Donna and Finlay Shakespeare. We’re hosting a special event with Finlay at the shop beforehand, where the man behind Future Sound Systems will show off his wonderful Cric synthesiser. There are still a couple of free tickets left if you’re quick!
