Though far from the same scale as the NAMM Show in Anaheim, California, Berlin’s Superbooth is a big date in the calendar of any synth nerd or music technology obsessive.
Hosted over three days – this year 8-10 May – at the German capital’s FEZ centre, Superbooth sees exhibitors in the form of some of the industry’s biggest players – many of which earmark the event to showcase exciting new products.
Here’s the latest:
Novation has kicked off its presence at Superbooth by announcing a slew of new products, including a new Launch Control XL 3, white editions of the Launchkey MK4 in 49-key and 37-minikey versions, and a limited-edition Bass Station designed in collaboration with British artist Ian “Swifty” Swift.
Learn more, and visit Novation at booth #0285.
Arturia and Native Instruments have confirmed a new product partnership under the ongoing NKS Hardware Partner Program, making it easier to use NKS plugins with Arturia hardware.
From here on out, the mainstay NI integration technology, Native Kontrol Standard (NKS), will be integrated into Arturia hardware. So far, Arturia has confirmed that three machines will be part of the initial rollout: KeyLab MK3, KeyLab Essential MK3, and MiniLab.
Learn more, and visit Arturia and Native Instruments at booths W200 and H130, respectively.
Superbooth is one of the biggest events in the music tech calendar, and as such, you can expect a presence from some of the industry’s top brands.
This year’s event will see booths hosted by Akai Professional, Korg, Novation, Moog, Arturia, Elektron, Native Instruments and many more, as well as a number of smaller brands, too. There’ll be quite literally hundreds of brands at the show, so visitors will have to plan accordingly to fit in those they particularly want to see.
Which brings us to our next point…
Yep – Superbooth is open to the public, so anyone can attend. One-day tickets are priced at €41 – the same for any chosen day – while you can also purchase a three-day ticket covering the entire event for €100.
The show starts tomorrow (8 May), but tickets are still available over at the Superbooth website.
Alongside major new product announcements from some of the biggest brands in music tech, Superbooth 2025 will also see a range of performances from DJs and artists including JakoJako, Surgeon and Italo Brutalo, as well as workshops for attendees to get truly hands-on with new synths, controllers, modular gear and more.
