KissBox Network/WiFi to MIDI to CV – the missing link

  Never been „cheap“ but it has always been the missing link between MIDI, WiFi and now – Analog CV – it’s now another nice and smart box that brings iPads, Computers and CV together without MIDI – and note – you could also control any analog gear via iPad it also has Envelopes and LFOs and assigns 8 voices to it the Kiss Box was made to attach any controller to Hardware MIDI without true need of a computer in between. but it can be configured via Plugins/Computer but…

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 –…

Roland AIRA – rebirth of the TR808 and more TR / TB stuff + Voice Transformer VT3

it’s this video which makes us think it will be the classic TR/TB coming back as analog or analog modeling machines – it’s just the end of this clip … NAMM is coming – so be prepared  aira looks like some of the a’s are for analogue? on of the names is TR8 or TR9 .. and some more melodic below – mc202? tb303? or a full real multi track thing incorporating some more and without the „you need to stop the sequencer when editing“ problem of the MCs..? good idea,…

Storn System Analog Synthesizer from Indonesia

inspired by MS10/20 and EMS – this may be the first synth from Indonesia (Bandung). Storn ist short for SynThesizer electRONic beside those there is a „Rhythm Machine“ which is in fact a drum synth (no sequencer) – that Name Störn sounds german – but it’s just like „looks nice“.. the names are Lavatory and Maga, both semi modular, where Maga is also digital – this is the first info, more at the forum (quote) their Site will be up in 21 days from this post.. Forum • Storn System – Analog…

23.11.2013 – Elektron Analog Keys – released (key’ed version of Analog Four)

UPDATE: Keyboard Version of Analog Four is out – Analog Keys (via CDM/Peter Kirn’s wonderful blog!) not so different from the Analog Four Groovebox but it has Keys, a small Joystick – so it is basically comparable to other analog synths but with 4 voices, it might fill some space since polyphonic analog synths are quire rare.. and it is 3 Octaves (which I love and prefer over 2 octaves) until now the Analog Four has not been polyphonic but 4x monophonic – one synth per track. this seems to…

Metamono (Köln, 27.10.2013) – Vintage & Modular Synths

British almost purist band selling Vinyl and Tapes (!) – „you can play it in your car“. I’d call that style electro, but has some of other styles in it .. lots of nice vintage FX as well in here. in fact they don’t use other than analog sounds in their set / music. Metamono are using vintage synths: ARP2600, MC202, Juno 106, MS20, Ringmod & more by Christian Lilienthal, MPC2000 (just as a sequencer) and the most modern synth used – a monotron. 2 modular racks, 1 5HE lots…
