Redshift 6 firmware update 1.7 is now live! The major feature for this release is the Math page allowing you to tweak, combine and mangle modulators to create entirely new modulation possibilities. You get four math rows, each with one of the following engines: Use the Slew engine to slow the rate of change of…

Hi, Timo again filling up the Dev Diary! So, 1.6 took a lot longer than we’d hoped. The main reason for this is that while it’s easy enough to do a sequencer, it turns out that if you want the sequencer to be any good, then the details will be filled with all kinds of devils.…

This release brings a polyphonic 32-step sequencer engine, Macro page and a handful of smaller updates. Check out detailed release notes below and grab the firmware for:  Linux Mac Windows New Features Improvements Fixes

After careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue the production of our Eurorack modules Neutron Flux Filter, Demon Core Oscillator, and Demon Core Expander. These modules were the beginning and a fundamental part of Supercritical Synthesizers’ story. Their legacy lives on in the technology, concepts, and sonic character now realized in Redshift 6. Moving forward,…

Well, it’s been a while since anything modular related! Back in 2021, our plans got upended when the parts shortage hit, and for a while it wasn’t certain at all if we’d even survive as a company. The promised 1.3 update for the Neutron Flux Filter with formant filters was almost ready at the time, but…

Timo here! By the time you read this, firmware 1.5 should be out! The dev diaries seem to have settled down to a pace of one per update cycle, largely because we’ve been so busy. But so be it, I’d expect you’re much happier reading using the new firmware than reading these blog posts! The big…

The effect section is finally here with four high quality digital effects, along with a new VCF engine, the Mirror Twins. Check out detailed release notes below and grab the firmware for:  Linux Mac Windows New Features Improvements Fixes

Warning: very mathematical content ahead! Proceed at your own peril! It is well known that BBD choruses (wouldn’t it be great if the plural of chorus would be chori, like in cacti?) distort the modulation waveform relative to what would be achieved, say, with digital delay line modulation. See for example the Electric druid’s analysis…

It’s been a while since the last diary! The 1.4 update is out now! This update adds MPE support, a classic-style arpeggiator and 18 new presets showcasing these. There’s also lots of little usability improvements such as multi-part edit and loading individual parts from a preset, which replaces the planned part copy paste, since it’s…

Here’s another major update with two of the most requested features, MPE and an arpeggiator! Without further ado, you can check out detailed release notes below and grab the firmware for:  Linux Mac Windows   Linux You might need to run the updater as sudo depending on serial port permissions Mac The firmware updater will…
