Ich werde am SynMag – Stand sein. Wir bauen wieder einige ältere und spezielle Synthesizer auf und auch sonst noch dies und das.

Achtung – Der Stand ist in Halle 5.0 – also unten neben Roland und Casio. Vorhölle zum Analoghimmel. „wir müssen reden.“ ..I will be at our Magazine Booth Hall 5.o, Booth B26 downstairs – near Casio and Roland.

M-Audio Trigger Finger – Controller with built in sequencer

M-Audio unexpectedly brings out something that looks like NI Maschine but with 16-Step Sequencer Line – this is basically Drum Pads and a jam-type of sequencer like the Akai MAX49 has, so – this is still a controller not a groovebox or host or even a drummachine. that sequencer can not be reprogrammed but could be a cool tool if one could access it – it has built in midi as well to send the sequences somewhere. since M-Audio belongs to the Akai/Numark/Alesis Group (inMusic) this might be the same…

Elektron Analog Rytm – 8 voice analog drum machine with sample support

Elektron Analog Rytm is the name of the new Elektron Drum Box. 8 analog filters and distortion. analog components are connected internally via digital tech – so it is also a full analog drum synth! 8 voices Synth DB -> Elektron Analog Rytm groove box with TR sequencer 128 projects – Samples via USB – but it’s not just a sampler but has sample support. DIN Sync & MIDI. also analog: compressor @ master section 12 pads are dynamic drum sounds are made from analog components that can be reconfigured by…

Clavia Nord Lead A1 – Analog Modeling Synth – reduced to the – minimal maximum

Clavia were the people who introduced the term „virtual analog“, now it’s time to change the claim but – what has changed? this time it isn’t just a synth that has the structure of a Prophet 5-kind of Poly Synth and it’s approach to be controlled by twisting knobs – no – this time it is more emulation and simulation of existing synths like Moogs and Rolands. but they want it to be less than any Nord Lead ever made – but with FX this time – Clavia Nord Lead A1,…

Pittsburgh Modular & Studio Electronics – marriage

a nice combination – the only one of 2 still producing polyphonic analog synths and pittburgh who got nice euro modular systems team up together – not just for NAMM – the really team – so since the Boomstar series this looks a lot like SE going the nerdier way and do not forget the polysynth lovers and new stuff coming some day.. Pittsburgh Modular – News – Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers Partners with Studio Electronics.

Elektron Analog Rytm with 12 dynamic pad + Waldorf Rocket-Style Filterbox?

UPDATE – it is Synth DB -> Elektron Analog Rytm groove box with TR sequencer we don’t know yet – it’s something with 12 (dynamic I assume) colour-illumination-Pads – so it could be: • MPC / Maschine Style Groovebox – Sample Engine • Clip Launcher – Sampling Engine • Some Synth or Drum Gear – but maybe makes not too much sense since there’s already Machinedrum for synth drums.. it is – a combination – sample playback and analog sounds but not a clip launcher. it is analog WITH sample playback…

Moog Duophonic Synth Sub 37 – der bessere SubPhatty!

this has been posted by Moog which is marked as SUB 37 Paraphonic – even though it is DUOphonic. That means you have 1 Filter and control of each VCO by 2 played keys – so this is controlling overtone control or pseudo 2 voice action black proto type – that one in the video has a display – the final one seems not.. but so many controls that makes the Sub better.. Added to SynthDB: Moog Sub 37, UPDATE: This appears to be a duophonic concept. so this is not paraphonic –…
