Superbooth 2025: Beatboxer Mosaik is a new live performance groove box from Berlin, developed by former Native Instruments and Nonlinear Labs devs.
Many well-known music technology companies have their origins in Berlin, including Ableton, Bitwig, Jomox, Native Instruments, Nonlinear Labs, Sugar Bytes, and U-he, among others. At the next Superbooth, the Berlin scene will be getting a new company.
Former developers from Native Instruments and Nonlinear Labs have founded Beatboxer. In less than two weeks, at Superbooth 25, Beatboxer will showcase Mosaik, a new live performance groove box.
Beatboxer Mosaik
Mosaik is a new all-in-one groovebox. The Beatboxer Mosaik pad’s design is particularly striking. Instead of being arranged in a matrix, the pads are placed around the housing.
This is what the prototype design looks like. Not sure if it will be the same in the finished design. In the middle, there is a large touch display with additional multi-color LED feedback buttons and encoders. According to the specs, the housing is made of wood and aluminum.
On the hardware side, Beatboxer Mosaik will feature an internal 256GB storage, USB ports, LAN, built-in Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Part of the feature set is also a high-quality 4-channel audio interface with main outs and phone sockets. It isn’t communicated, but I think there will be input as well.
Software
Beatboxer Mosaik will be a standalone device that uses a software-based engine. This is what turns the hardware into a groovebox. It will feature 36 tracks, each with its own separate filter section (low-pass, peak, high-pass), distortion, volume control, pitch control, and independent tempo.
The engine, whether samples-only or synths with drum synthesis, is not yet known. However, you can see representations of samples with fade-in and fade-out points on the display. It looks like sample playback is safe. I hope internal sampling and resampling are also possible.
Further, it will feature global reverb and delay effects.
First Impression
There are still many unanswered feature questions. We’ll probably have to wait until Superbooth 2025 to find out. On paper, it looks like an exciting groove box with a unique design.
Beatboxer Mosaik groovebox availability and price are TBA. The company will be at Superbooth 2025 at booth Z390.
