Sound designer Scott McAuley shared this preview of One, a new 50-preset soundbank for the Moog One polyphonic synthesizer.
The patches in the One soundbank, made from over 100 different sounds, include bass, bell, funk, keys, leads, organ, pads, performance, poly, sequence, strings, sweeps, and more.
Sales of the new soundbank support the The Bob Moog Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the legacy of synth pioneer Dr Robert Moog.
“It has been my absolute pleasure to create this bank for such a worthy cause. The Bob Moog Foundation is such a great organization run by amazing people, their passion for their work, not only preserving the legacy of Dr. Bob Moog, but providing hands-on fun and education to people of all ages through the science of sound,” noted McAuley. “I really hope this exclusive bank helps in some way to bring some extra funding to BMF in the best way I know how.”
At Superbooth 2026, Elektron was sharing a sneak preview of their upcoming Outbox 8, a new USB interface that promises to add 8 additional audio or CV/Gate outputs to your Overbridge-compatible synthesizer.
Planned for release later this summer, the Outbox 8 will connect to devices like the Digitakt, Digitone and Syntakt and add 8 additional outputs, each of which can be configured for audio or CV/Gate. Updated firmware will allow these synths to use the additional outputs like Overbridge for the DAW-less jammers.
This promises to be hugely powerful, because it opens up a new realm of effects processing and sequencing power for these devices.
Here’s what Elektron superuser Ezbot (Matthew Piecora) has to say about the Outbox 8:
*Note: Official details on pricing, specifications and compatible devices are still to be announced at the Elektron site.

At Superbooth 2026, Binkhorst Creations introduced the Bink Keybed, a new expressive keyboard, created in collaboration with This Is Not Rocket Science.
The Bink is new expressive keybed, designed to be incorporated into new synthesizers and MIDI controllers. It features mechanically stable keys with continuous travel and integrated Hall effect sensing, enabling polyphonic sensing of position, velocity, and aftertouch for advanced expressive data output.
The keybed will be available in multiple octave configurations and is intended for integration into synthesizers and controller hardware.
In this video, via Sonic State, Stijn Kuipers (TINRS) and Marcel Binkhorst discuss the Bink keyboard and why they wanted to create a new keyboard design:
Kuipers plans to use the Bink keybed in his upcoming This Is Not Rocket Science Bigfish keyboard, and it will be made available via Binkhorst for other synth makers to use.
Features:
Expressive keybed provides position, velocity, and MPE data
The keybed’s keys are mechanically stabilized to minimize side-to-side movement
Adjustable spring tension lets the player set overall touch weight of the keys
Hall effect sensors continuously track key position to a hundredth of a millimeter
Per-key expressive control
The mechanical design allows modular per-octave construction for custom configurations
The Bink Keybed is expected to be available in Summer of 2026, with pricing starting at €100 for a one-octave Bink13.
