The Hornet – EMS Synthi cloned

The HORNET is obviously a Synthi A but warped into todays components world – so the Matrix and Case is Ghielmetti and todays-stuff. But nevertheless it is hand made and still 5k€ by Derek Revell but made by some guy in Bremen / Germany. Looks nice, huh? Yes – it does. looks quite the same specs.. and with Sample and Hold.

SYSTEM-1: 4 voice synthesizer – more synths can be uploaded and hosted

the did a big campain – did NOT show it on NAMM but will show it on the Musikmesse Frankfurt. Today was the big disguising moment of those 3 new retro-engines based on DSPs which is sort of modeling „something“ but not exactly emulating something – that’s why it’s sort of a new sound and maybe not a Gaia or post-JP8000 sounding synth. it’s a new engine – and we should not think much about what the new „Modeling“ thing is all about but just listen to it … in…
