(confirmed) Dave Smith – Oberheim = OberDave! –>DSI OB6 by Dave Smith + Tom Oberheim Why no Behringer? Well Amazona says, there WILL be something, but trust me – there is not even a clue about what it could be – but in 2016 something will come „everything is and was well done“ – they say. the problem is – they are all under NDA, so no…

Modal 008 Analogue Synth (8 voice) with Xpander-Style Filters (with Phase/Allpass)

the original info from Modal (so it has still some super-words in it) ;) Modal 008 (built 2015) – Analog Synthesizer  provides eight discrete voices of polyphony with an uncompromising analogue architecture utilising the highest grade components throughout Two 100% analogue VCO’s per voice with two sub oscillators, providing sawtooth, triangle, square with PWM and noise. note those filters are a bit like the   Oberheim Matrix 12 (built 1985) – Analog Synthesizer that allows combinations of filters including phase shifting / all pass filters that really sound great for pads and stuff. OSCS:…

Oberheim Matrix, Roland Juno and JX, Korg DW… Freie Sounds aus Synths und ein bisschen mehr – kostet nichts – was es gibt sieht man auf einen Blick, daher sage ich sonst weiter nichts. Matrix 26 gigabyte classic analog Oberheim samples. JX 24 bit samples of Roland’s most advanced analog instrument…

Stalking non existent bands: Sweet Saturn Mine / AKS / 2Voice

Looks like „the non Germans“ got a fictional electronic band as well. We got Fractus (there’s more) and you got progtronic ouija that are stalked by a lady that is meant to be sort of deranged, but looks like she’s just hot (Maxine Peake). come on, she is! that dude is a bit like a not-so-active Frank Tovey not yet to be kicking out his electronic (fat?) gadgets – and you can see the AKS and Oberheim 2 Voice in here as well. Do the Kleidersammlung™! via Sweet Saturn Mine is a track…

Sequential (Dave Smith) Prophet 6 – very Prophet 5’ish Synth

it’s a lot like the 1x Multi Timbral, 5 Voice, (1978)   Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Analog Synthesizer but with some additions. -> bold – what is different to the P5 the Sequential Circuits Prophet 6, P6 Analog Synthesizer isn’t bad at all. Sounds a bit different but has new filters and OSCs. very hands-on, very easy and intuitive – ok – it is a classic concept so it should be- like the FX in this one. 2 VCOs- morphable wave shapes – PWM – Sync, 6 voices Triangle Sub Generator Slope for „analog“ detuning low & high pass filter velocity /…
