Hello
If you're reading this as it posts in ~30 minutes you can join us (Vostok Instruments and I) in the video premiere (hangout on YouTube here) for the new module 'HALO'.
NEW VIDEO
Meet Halo (a new module from Vostok Instruments) which is a 4 channel analogue LFO module with an added 8 output logic section, taking things from basic to more complex modulation options. As usual there's lots of patches applicable to many modules, a favourite I'd encourage anyone to try (it's great with ochd) is self patching faster LFOs to modulate the rate of slower ones, you get a fantastic curved/bendy edged pyramid like waveform.
Check out the video and if you're going to Superbooth go have a play with Halo (and something else new and special) from Vostok Instruments at their booth.
SUPERBOOTH
We're days away from the mega modular love fest that is Superbooth. I'm really excited to see you there and here's a few things for the show ...
If you're at Superbooth I have a bumper crop of goodies (freebies) for you. I have both 4HP blanks (made with MarkT) and also the 2HP DivKid x Apollo View blank panels, multiple stickers, magnet, coaster and a 2 way 1/4" multiple (these have been super handy around the studio).
My stock of them is somewhat limited, but I have bits bagged up ready to hand out at Superbooth. Just say hello and ask for some.
I always get asked if merch is available for those that can't be at events to grab the freebies - I need to figure out a way to make these available easily - I'm all ears for ideas on that front.
DIVKID PATREON MEET UP AT SUPERBOOTH // 1pm on Friday (Berlin time, obviously) we'll meet outside the Making Sound Machines, Plinky, TiNRS and Apollo View tent for our annual Superbooth meet up. A nice chat to say hello, share nice things from the show and to hand out the merch stuff from above. There is also the Saturday YouTuber Community meet up at 2pm outside the circus tent. I'll be there too.
I'd also like to just generally encourage everyone to share what they're seeing from Superbooth, whether it's things at the show in person or just things online for those that can't make it. Feel free to post it all in our Discord.
Final thing on Superbooth ... COME PREPARED WITH A PATCH TIP! I'd love to have you, our community, in this years "Best Patch Tips from Superbooth" video. These are short, non gear specific patch tips just to say to camera. The basics are always good to remind people of and don't worry about saying something we may have had in previous videos, elaborate ideas are welcome but there's no pressure to be clever about it. As a reminder, here's the 2025 video as an example.
COMING UP
I recently posted a first patch video with Swells from Bartola Instruments. That gives you the chance to shape the full demo that comes for it's release with any specific requests for things you'd like to see and hear. Easiest way to do that is a comment on the video.
There's also the first patch from Cosmic Debris, which opens up the next community audio project. See the details on this Patreon post, a deadline for that will come in the near future.
Beyond all that there's loads in the works for things coming in the future, I'm excited to see you at Superbooth if you can make it and everyone in the Discord as usual. Back next week after the trip.
