April roundup: GS Music Bree6 Keyboard & more
We’re only a fortnight away from Superbooth 2026, and already the top-secret pre-show announcements are starting to slide into our inboxes. There will be a mouthwatering array of new gear to talk about, so we’ll be recording a special podcast in Berlin to round up the best of the show.
Meanwhile, the big new synth arrival this week was the Bree6 Keyboard from our friends at GS Music in Argentina, while over in Eurorack-land, Zlosynth have unveiled the Arplus, an intriguing blend of Karplus-Strong synth with a super-powerful arpeggiator and quantiser. Read on to find out more!
Until next time,
Jason, Aleks, Kyle, Luke, Molly, Rob & Tom
Latest arrivals
GS Music Bree6 Keyboard
£1,499.00
A seriously great-sounding and well-featured analogue polysynth that ticks just about every box for us! Its deceptively simple architecture hides a wealth of interesting sound design possibilities (check out Matt Johnson's excellent video to get an idea). Another winner from GS Music.
Zlosynth Arplus
£335.00
Now this is an interesting one - a 6-voice Karplus-Strong synth engine paired with a fantastically powerful arpeggiator and quantiser, allowing for all sorts of harmonic, microtonal fun. One of the more musically intriguing modules we've come across recently!
Bastl Deja Vu
£149.00
You can never have enough of these sorts of modules in a Eurorack setup. People often overlook voltage processing utilities, yet they're vital for effective patching, and Deja Vu is a great case in point. Mix, attenuate, crossfade, boost and more, all in 4HP - what's not to like?
Signal Flow podcast
In our latest episode, Luke breaks down his setup for a recent live performance at GLOSS (the Glasgow Library of Synthesised Sound), which involved GRM Tools Atelier, Max for Live, and a two-panel Serge Paperface system (hand-built by Tom). We also round up a few new arrivals in the showroom, including the UDO Audio DMNO, ASM Hydrasynth and Shakmat Modular Ballista Blast, and share a few recommendations.

And finally...
It’s no secret around here that legendary filter designer Dave Rossum is one of Jason’s heroes. And the Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave is one of his favourite synths. He also loves a trade show. So when Bob Coover of Groove Synthesis met Dave Rossum at NAMM to nerd out about filters, it was like all his Christmases had come at once. Enjoy!
