AJH Synth teams up with Doepfer at SUPERBOOTH26, Celebrating Ten Years of Superbooth in Berlin ​ ​

AJH Synth will return to Superbooth 2026 with a notable collaboration: this year they will be sharing a space with Doepfer Musikelektronik in the Bungalowdorf area at FEZ-Berlin from May 7–9. 

Located at booth B031, the joint presence highlights both a long-standing relationship between the two brands and their shared roots in the evolution of Eurorack.

That connection goes back to the origins of the format itself. 

When Dieter Doepfer introduced the A-100 system in the mid-1990s, it laid the groundwork for what would become a global modular ecosystem. 

Over the years, manufacturers like AJH Synth have built on that foundation, helping to shape Eurorack into a diverse and musically driven landscape. I remember Allan reaching out to me when he released his first MINimod modules 12 years ago... time flies...

As Allan Hall notes, Doepfer’s early work played a key role in enabling a new generation of designers to move beyond DIY into fully realized instrument design.

At Superbooth 26, AJH Synth will showcase several of its latest modules, including the new Matrix VCF multimode filter. 

This module offers multiple filter types and dual resonance options, resulting in a wide range of tonal variations within a compact 14HP format. 

Alongside this, the system will be paired with Doepfer’s A-155-2 Mini Analog Sequencer 

Also on display are two modules developed in collaboration with Ian Boddy of Tone Science.

Tone Science is a musical project and record label founded by British electronic musician Ian Boddy, dedicated entirely to the world of modular synthesizers.
It began in 2016 as a solo album by Ian Boddy (titled Tone Science on his DiN Records label), featuring experiments with self-generating soundscapes. 

Boddy uses "controlled random systems" on analog modular gear to create music inspired by natural phenomena like waves and wind.

The Chance Delay introduces controlled randomness into gate and timing structures, while the Triple Cross XFader/Panner focuses on dynamic signal routing and modulation. 

Together, they reflect a continued interest in combining structured control with more generative, performance-oriented approaches.

Doepfer Spring/Superbooth 2026 Announcements

More than a month ahead of the annual Superbooth event in Berlin ( 7-9th of May), my favorite brand Doepfer has announced their latest batch of A-100 modules.
New Doepfer modules get me excited every time, it means spring is coming... ;) 

The overall theme seems to be Micro again, because they released four new ultra-compact modules that pack serious functionality into minimal space.

The A-140-3 Micro ADSR (4 HP) delivers a classic exponential ADSR envelope with voltage-controlled times and dual outputs, but only half the space of the original A-140 ADSR module

Module A-142-3 Envelope Controlled VCA (4 HP) combines a linear VCA with a built-in AD/AR envelope (switchable to LFO mode), making it perfect for quick percussive voices.

The A-180-6 Triple Adjustable Buffer / CV Source (4 HP) offers three buffered channels with individual level controls, ideal for multiples, level matching, or simple adjustable offsets.

Finally, the tiny A-190-9 Micro MIDI-to-CV Interface (only 2 HP) provides basic monophonic MIDI-to-CV/Gate conversion with multiple outputs.

All four modules emphasize Doepfer’s signature reliability and affordability. 

They’re excellent choices for space-saving (portable) compact racks or expanding any Eurorack system without wasting too much HP.

Besides these modules, Doepfer will probably have more news on earlier announced modules like the new A-198-2 Ribbon Controller that was announced last year.. 

It should be ready to ship any time, I guess...

I already pre-ordered mine and can't wait to get my hands on it and replace my old A-198 with this one. The display on the new one, the quantizing options and the additional outputs are a big step forward imho..

I've seen no actual changes announced to the ribbon controller manual though... It could use a better connector instead of that wonky USB connector.

Now that 104HP  (and 7U? high) is becoming kind of a standard case-size (Intellijel), it would make sense for Doepfer to investigate if it is worth to make a 1U high 104HP wide touch sensetive controller strip that would fit into such a case.

It's probably the best use for the 1U high strip after all, 7U never really made sense to me in the first place..

Keep an eye on the Doepfer website for further announcements and details about their Superbooth presence next month...
