Animal Factory Amplification

In Indian mythologies, Asuras are the “enemies of the Gods”. Celestial beings, not necessarily evil, but wielding untamed power that defies simple classification. Being lords of specialised knowledge and terrifying ability, serving purposes entirely their own, they choose whether to create entire worlds or destroy them.
The ASURA is a 4-voice rabid polyphonic synthesiser built in that image. Two wavetable oscillators run through a granular delay that shreds time in both directions, all of it feeding into Animal Factory’s roaring distortion circuits. Instead of the safety of a filter, you will control tone and timbre using positive and negative feedback loops. Lastly, assignable modulation over almost every parameter turns this synth into a living, breathing sonic shapeshifter.
Playing it is a negotiation with chaos. You will wrestle with harmonics, pull lush polyphony out of absolute ruin, and for a moment, you tame the beast and it listens.
A five-year collaboration between AFA and , this is the first modern synthesiser to emerge from India.

At this year’s Superbooth , someone told me “my wife has a special bank account for me in which we put money every month and it’s called the Superbooth fund. She knows that for me it’s a form of therapy.”
Apart from the fact that you would have probably never heard of Animal Factory if we hadn’t exhibited at Superbooth 2017, it’s the great attitude and friendships that I’ve found in this community of like minded nerds that keeps me coming back every year.
Special thanks to for repping on guitar, for being great tent mates, and the Alex4 team for helping set up and get me all my bu****it, and for starting this awesome event in the first place. I miss it already and can’t wait for May 2027. Hugs to everyone that I saw and missed. SB 2027 will be one for the books!
