Hello!

I'm back in Blighty from Berlin for Superbooth and wanted to share what I got up to.

First of all thank you to those of you that attended the show and came up to say hello, either randomly through the show or at our meet ups. That was a real highlight from the show and I wanted to thank you (and to everyone else here) for your continued support. It really does keep things moving.

Rather than round up news like coverage of new gear I wanted to do something different with a Superbooth video. So this time I asked people for their best patch tips. Things that any of us can try in any format, non gear specific. It feels like I've really found 'my thing' to do at events as I really enjoyed this and will definitely be doing it again. Video above, enjoy!

Though speaking of a "round up" style thing, I've made a post on my website with the pictures I took and a few words about each thing. You can check that out HERE.

While we're on Superbooth I went on the Sonic State Sonic Talk show today to chat and round up Superbooth. You can watch that stream back here if you'd like to listen to myself with Nick Batt, Gaz Williams and Richard Nicol of Pittsburgh Modular chat about the event.

Speaking of Sonic State, Ed swung by and made a demo of Manic with Apollo View and I. Check that out HERE.

Finally for the video of patch tips there's an accompanying free (or pay what you want) document that goes through the patch tips. That's HERE on my Gumroad store. I've also put it in the Patreon Drive.

COMING UP

While I finish up a few things post Superbooth and get into the tidal waves of admin to do I'm also planning out things to come. I'll be diving into 3 patches with the new Plume Pulsar Synthesizer module from Herioglyphic, looking at Dial from Instruo and the new Patching Panda Etna all in the near future. News on all that to come.

Chat to you in the Discord, have a good week I'll be back soon.
