I went to the festival on Saturday (couldn’t stay for the concerts sadly), lots of interesting peopke and sound devices there :).
Worng had the Parallax stereo filter and Vertex stereo VCA, which sounded pretty good and are smartly designed. The Vertex does some subtle things to the signal’s amplitude when the gain is up (I had an excellent demo with scope but can’t explain it well now…), which makes the skew control really interesting, more than just panning.
I was surprised to see that Earthquaker Devices had someone to represent them, with a prototype of an eurorack version of the Afterneath reverb. It’s supposed to be released next year, they’re still actively working on it.
There was also a full system by a new company from Taiwan called Tenderfoot Electronics. They had a sequencer with mechanical keyboard switches (in an expander) that looked awesome, and many new modules.
Also from Taiwan, a new manufacturer called Emitum had some super light and slim 6U 84/104 HP cases (that can be closed patched) that are priced very competitively, though I forgot the exact prices :). The cases have 4 jack in the top and they have a module to connect these too.
And there were lots of cool systems from many manufacturers, and even some Buchla somewhere.
I can’t find a way to upload images from my phone, I’ll try that later…
