Fyrd SQR Step-Sequencer (+Probability)

Ein klassischer Sequencer mit Wahrscheinlichkeitsfunktion. MIDI und CV tauglich und zum Start 500€ – er erscheint im Bild „riesig“ – aber im Video sieht man, dass er durchaus nicht so übergroß ist. a more classic kind of step sequencer from France – the Fyrd SQR has 4 tracks to offer to send it’s signals to CV and MIDI and – it adds probability for each step, so the sequencing can slightly change over time randomly. it’s 600€, but you get a discount of 100€ when ordered early. here’s the specs..…

Hybrid/Digital Synthex 2 Synthesizer by Mario Maggi (Crumar…)

THEEE synth guy in Italy, Mr. Mario Maggi, is working on a digital Synth with the name of Synthex 2 (I am not sure if it’s the final name, but there are some quotes on these Forum Posts: Synthex 2 von Mario Maggi that explain a lot by Enrice Cosimi, who I met at the Synthex / Elka – Re-Issue Event in Frankfurt (Hi Enrico!) – who says they simply did not intent to have the same idea of bringing the „Synthex Name“ back in 2 completely different ways, so – here’s…

Kraftwerk – 2015 Controller Check

Ok, let’s check again what Kraftwerk are using on stage – since the last tour (the controller leak was posted in the forum as well) – Better Images where you can see the Creamware Synth etc are @ the Forum Kraftwerk III… controlling the visuals – searching for something? everyone has a touch screen and this guy was the only one who had a Mac on stage (Kraftwerk are „Anti-Apple“ ever since)  on that museum tour showing all their albums as one event (I was at TEE) – here’s touchpads also there…

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…
