The Dreadbox company has been pleasing us with novelties during all the Spring 2018. Over the past month, they have presented a third version of their Erebus synthesizer and its smaller version Lil' Erebus, which comes as a DIY kit, but the most intriguing and long-awaited news from the company was the Medusa synthesizer prototype that they brought to the Superbooth 2018, held in Berlin from 3 to 5 May.

In continuation of our previous post about the Eurorack modules, presented at the musical equipment exhibition Superbooth 2018, we will tell you about the novelties in the sphere of stand-alone instruments. Among them, there are a couple of extremely cheap synthesizers from Twisted Electrons, a high-grade FM synth from Fingersonic, the new version of a successful Erebus synth from the Greek company Dreadbox and a granular synthesizer from Tasty Chips Electronics.

The new upgraded version of Xenophone - one of most powerful synthesizers in its class, has been released by Hypersynth. This device will be shipping in the end of September and come with a new soundbank, rethought stand and an updated firmware featuring some fixes and improvements.

The year 2016 was marked with Minimoog Model D comeback; most powerful digital Japanese synth hitting the market; Uli Behringer making analog go down in value; modular systems popularity growth (including one famous Greek brand); DJ-controller and sampler rethinking; another Japanese company claiming back its place in the sun - read about 13 most valuable instruments of 2016.

The series include classic and most popular modules among which are Oscillator, Filter, Dual VCA, Envelope, LFO, Noise generator, Phaser and Echo as well as some other auxiliary modules. 2 new eurorack system modular cases will complete this line. Good price for good quality – modules made by Dreadbox get more and more attention.
