Episode 9: Reverb Tails from Bristronica
About this episode
The crew discusses recent gear announcements in the synth world and shares experiences from a major modular meetup.
In this episode of The Rack Pack , the crew dives into a packed month of gear news and announcements shaking up the synth world. We start with Elektron’s much-anticipated Tonverk , unpacking what it adds to their growing ecosystem and how it might fit into existing setups. Then we move to Roland’s TR-1000 , the company’s latest evolution of their legendary drum machines — and we debate whether it lives up to the hype. Along the way, we touch on several other notable releases and updates that caught our attention, including Drop , the new MIDI controller from Neuzeit Instruments. We also relive the energy of Machina Bristronica , one of the year’s biggest modular meetups. From crowded demo tables to late-night patch jams, we share the highlights, our favorite announcements from the show, and some personal stories from the floor.
