Leaf Audio has a bunch of new stuff to show at Superbooth including Microphonic Soundbox Mk3, Microphonic Playground, mULTIple, Dronesynth and some Eurorack cases. Microphonic Soundbox Mk3 The Microphonic Soundbox is an acoustic wooden box for experimental adventures. It has contact mics inside that pick up the various noises generated by playing with the springs, kalimba, twangy bits and rubber bands. Leaf Audio is working on the Mk3 which will introduce a new mounting mechanism for the springs, clipping LEDs for the preamps, an integrated envelope follower with multiple modes, new power management and (at last!) a DC power input.

It should be available in the summer for |
