Vermona – new synth (for Xmas)? & Rumours – Arturia: Audio Interface + Synth, Clavia: Nord Electro 5

Vermona just wishes a merry Christmas – but look at that synth – seems like they got something that looks like a new comfortable full sized mono oder duosynth –  the Performer and their small desktop synths may be in in a way – but well – just keep an eye on them I’d say.. ok – if it’s just saying „it’s Xmas“ they could just put some of their current synth up and add some glitter – but this is something blue and new.. right? #VerMonaLisa Korgs Odyssey will…

Yamaha Performance AN10, DX10 & VL10 Synthesizers (yet fictional renderings)

Performance AN, DX and VL synthesizers is a rendered piece of synths that no yet exist to tell us – well – why shouldn’t we ask for digital synths with knobs? based on the AN/DX and even VL synth „plugins“ and groove boxes that may have more steps today (128 or so) etc.. UPDATE: Reface does DX – so it does FM and also the CS series. not bad, ok these renderings seem not to come with a sequencer built in but are up-to-date 3 Octave Stage-Synths. I could imagine these…

Gimmick Synth by Ju-X draw waveforms graphically

a new synth by Ju-X is structurally simple but it’s oscillators are specially designed. you can change the waveform by applying handles or just draw it  Gimmick | Ju-X Designs. the idea is simple but may be easier – just twist the waves: Gimmick’s oscillator draws waveform by setting how many times to twist it in a cycle, then divides it by scanning Up and Down direction, finally player can determine positions of each turning points.  made for Macs running Snow Leaopard or newer.
