Nystrom: Crum Hum And Crum Drum - Superbooth 25

At Superbooth 2025 we had a chat with Albert Nystrom  the creator of the *Nystrom Crum Hum*, a touch-based, generative synthesizer with a focus on ambient and glitchy textures. The device features three independent voices, each capable of running different sound engines--ranging from wave tables and FM synthesis to noisy, glitch textures. It supports 20 scale types, randomized note generation within chosen scales, and hands-on shaping with touch plates and master effects like reverb, delay and overdrive. It's also available as a DIY kit for those with basic soldering skills. Alongside it, we looked at the *Crum Drum*, a four-voice generative drum machine using probability-based rhythm creation. Each voice can be individually controlled or linked, and patterns can be regenerated with a single button press. A new iteration, the Crum Drum 2, is in development with deeper performance features, MIDI and CV integration, and sample playback.
