the original info from Modal (so it has still some super-words in it) ;) Modal 008 (built 2015) – Analog Synthesizer  provides eight discrete voices of polyphony with an uncompromising analogue architecture utilising the highest grade components throughout Two 100% analogue VCO’s per voice with two sub oscillators, providing sawtooth, triangle, square with PWM and noise. note those filters are a bit like the   Oberheim Matrix 12 (built 1985) – Analog Synthesizer that allows combinations of filters including phase shifting / all pass filters that really sound great for pads and stuff.

Roland – System 1m Desktop/Rack (Messe Teaser II)

This teaser looks like there will be a System 1 Rack – called the System 1m coming – which is a very good idea since they keyboard wasn’t a pleasure but the Synth itself has a very high quality sound engine – so let’s hope for it to have more than 4 voices and possible more voices for the plugouts (Promars, SH2, SH101). Looks like real jacks for analog stuff on top, right? So this seems digital with analog connections plus display to choose your sounds and set things like…
