Synthesis and Synthesizers
Published on 28/07/2026
The world of synthesizers continues to evolve, with increasingly original instruments inspiring new approaches to music production, sound design and live performance. Here is our selection of the most exciting drum machines, desktop synthesizers and experimental instruments of the moment, including newly announced releases and upcoming products that are already attracting the attention of the electronic music community.
Polyend Drums is a hybrid analogue and digital drum machine designed with creativity at its core, combining four analogue voices, digital instruments and sample-based engines within an intuitive interface. Its 8-track sequencer provides up to 64 steps per track, parameter locks, probability, micro-timing and Euclidean generators, making Drums an inspiring instrument for both studio production and live performance.
Enigma is an experimental instrument by Soma Laboratory, designed to explore unpredictable sonic territories through an unconventional form of interaction. Its sensitive surface detects the position and movement of metal objects, transforming them into control sources capable of generating textures, drones, rhythms and constantly evolving soundscapes. More than a traditional synthesizer, Enigma is a sound exploration instrument created for experimental musicians, performers and sound designers.

With Ziggy, Buchla reimagines the celebrated Complex Oscillator concept in an analogue desktop synthesizer designed to deliver an immediate, gestural and deeply musical experience. Its architecture combines analogue oscillators, wavefolding, a Low Pass Gate, intuitive modulation, digital control over the all-analogue audio path and built-in effects, bringing the distinctive character of West Coast Synthesis into a compact instrument designed for both studio work and live performance.
Spotykach is a dual-deck stereo performance looper designed to record, manipulate and transform any sound source in real time. Its Reel, Slice and Drift modes, touch pads inspired by magnetic tape strips and integration with CV, Gate and MIDI make it possible to create constantly evolving textures, rhythms and soundscapes. Synthux Academy's open-source firmware and DIY philosophy make Spotykach a particularly compelling instrument for experimentation, sound design and live performance.

Weaver is a portable experimental audio sampler designed to transform any sound into rhythmic loops, dynamic textures and unpredictable soundscapes. Using its built-in microphone or audio input, it records short sound fragments and rearranges them randomly through an essential interface built around a single knob. Rhythm and Texture modes encourage exploration and make every session different from the last, delivering an immediate and deeply creative experience.

AtoV Faderpunk is a programmable 16-channel controller and modulation hub designed to combine MIDI, CV and USB control within a single performance-oriented interface. Each channel features a fader, an RGB backlit button and a CV connection that can be configured as either an input or an output. Thanks to its app-based architecture, Faderpunk can operate as an LFO, sequencer, quantizer, envelope generator, MIDI-to-CV converter, CV-to-MIDI converter and much more, making it an exceptionally versatile tool for Eurorack systems, semi-modular synthesizers, studio setups and live performance.
