In this Dispatch episode, Sequential unveils their new Fourm, a compact polyphonic analog synth featuring their first poly aftertouch in 40 years, while the modular world gets Robaux's "Slice of Pie" chord generation module, and the innovative Hover module with infrared sensors for hands-free CV control. The rumor mill brings leaked details about Teenage Engineering's upcoming EP-133 sampler variant focused on reggae and dub, including a companion mixer and mystery speaker/vocal effects unit.

On the music front, we highlight new releases from Resonances (IT) on Truncate, Frank Martin's quadraphonic Blu-ray "Thanks for the Invite," and Eric Sharp & Charity Redding's latest collaboration. The events calendar is packed with Shelter's one-year anniversary on September 27th featuring Polygonia and more, plus the massive Machina Bristronica festival in the UK celebrating synthesizer culture with exhibitions, workshops, and performances.

Looking ahead, we preview the October 3rd San Jose Night Market with Peter Nyboer's all-electronic live set and the ERROGRID showcase in Portland featuring dark ambient artists. We also recap highlights from our Piqued FM Live event with performances from Ryan Hay, Charity Redding, Driver 405, and Insical, and announce the next one scheduled for October 30th at TireBiter Brewery.
