Superbooth 2026: Buchla Ziggy Desktop Synth

At Superbooth 2026 we chatted with Nick Kwas from Buchla about Ziggy the new addition to the Buchla lineup. Distinct from traditional models, Ziggy offers the classic Buchla sound in a compact desktop format, eliminating the complexity of extensive patching. This instrument features a completely analog signal path, complemented by digital control for enhanced preset management and modulation capabilities. It boasts a classic oscillator modulation setup and departs from the typical ADSR envelope by providing unique control over envelope shapes.

Ziggy is designed to be both intuitive and versatile, allowing for traditional and generative performances. Ideal for musicians seeking distinct Buchla tones, it supports MIDI connections and offers extensive modulation options. The device is easily managed with its top surface connections and includes a robust multi-effects section to expand sound possibilities.

Expected to hit the market in late summer or early fall, Ziggy is priced at $999, promising broader accessibility to Buchla's iconic sound.
