Superbooth 23: Nanopolis Antigone is a new 4-voice multi-timbral synth voice packed with features (wavetable, sampler)… for Eurorack
Last year, the new French company Nanopolis introduced Antigone at Superbooth. It is a four-part multi-timbral synth voice for Eurorack with a wavetable, virtual analog, FM synthesis, sampler player, and more.
The module is now finished and going on sale. At SynthFest France 2024, I made a first-look video with the developer.
Nanopolis Antigone will be available for 649€ and the expander for 99€. The module will start in shipping in 1-2 months.

A modular Synthesizer can be built from individual modules: multiple oscillators, filters, envelopes, etc. You can also build it an easy and convenient way with a whole synth voice. Especially helpful when building polyphonic setups.
At Superbooth 23, the new company Nanopolis will premiere its first module called Antigone. It’s a new 4-voice digital synth voice.
Nanopolis Antigone Features
- Full multi-machine 4 voices synthesizer (multi-timbral)
