Superbooth 23 starts in two days time (11-13 May). Anyone going this year? Any rumours of new synths?

I see that the Norand Mono MK2 has already been announced. It now has an updated keyboard with aftertouch, velocity, pitch bend and vertical modulation. I did like the look of the MK1 with the switches but the new keyboard will be much more playable. The sequencer buttons looks a bit odd though.

They basically misjudged the amount of interest here in London.
They are already learning from this one and planning ahead for next year.-

Two notes had a guitar preamp with 64bit internal mixing with over sampling,
proprietary custom chips and their own reverb algorithms.
My guitar, an Epiphone WildKat, sounded super sweet through it.
Rainger FX had some rather quirky pedals on display including one they call
a “Minibar”, which needs liquid to work.
High conductive liquids create low gain, low conductive liquids create high gain
and one can change the tone by the amount or light it receives via a photo…Read More

Glad I didn’t go. From what I’ve heard there were a lot of people that just left the queue and went home disappointed.

True.
Many people did leave disappointed and to a certain degree
so was I but I was actually glad that I stuck it through.
Let’s see what happens next year.
