Some Modular Synth Fun!

Today I was giving a small run to my eurorack modular system, or better said, half of it!

CONCERT - Synth-ing Nº13 starts in 20 minutes!

And if you want to see how different the Korg MS20 is from the Korg iMS20, you should definitely have a listen to it ;)

CONCERT - Korg MS-20 vs. Korg iMS20? That's Synth-ing Nº12 and Nº13!

Yep, that's the plan for Synth-ing Nº12 and Nº13, that I'll play today and next thursday!

CONCERT - Synth-ing Nº11!

I really hope you enjoyed this one, as it was the first time I chose not to use any of the Clavia Nord Modulars and decided to go for a different kind of setup!

CONCERT - Synth-ing Nº5!

Sorry for the delay, but finally Synth-ing Nº5 is available for you to listen or hopefully re-listen!

Hammond Novachord, a truly vintage beast!

No, unfortunately I don't own one of those, but I just got aware of a very interesting demo available on youtube that I think is worth sharing!

This is definitely one of my favourite youtube channels!

When I am checking facebook, I don't usually see demos from these channel being mentioned or shared, but I honestly think it is full of amazing demos!

NEWS - Abyss, the first polyphonic synth from Dreadbox!

Yep, Dreadbox is producing a new synth, unlike any they ever made!

CONCERT - Notes regarding the performance from yesterday!

First of all, I'm really sorry for informing all of you about my performances with such a short notice...

As you probably know, I used to play at electro-music.com before, but haven't done so for quite a while...

It seems someone was brave enough to open a Behringer DeepMind 12!

I don't own one or have tried one just yet, but it definitely seems an interesting machine for those of us who really love analog synths and don't want / can't spend too much on a synth!

NEWS - New demo from The River, by Baloran!

And there is one more demo available of the new synth Baloran is planning, The River, on youtube!

If you missed that first post in which I talked about this synth, be sure to have a look! - https://synth-ing.blogspot.pt/2017/01/news-river-8-voice-polyphonic-analog.html

Two of my favourite machines in a single performance!

Unfortunately, today I didn't have too much time to prepare a good post for you guys, so I decided to present you this performance I did some time ago using two of my favourite machines, the amazing Yamaha CS-15, an analog mono-synth from the same family of the legendary Yamaha CS-80, and the Electrix Repeater, a very powerful 4 track looper!

NEWS - The River, an 8 voice polyphonic analog synth being developed by Baloran!

Yes, analog poly synths seem to be now more fashionable than ever!
And the latest one seems to be being developed by Baloran!

On other exciting news, the Fabulous Silicon Paradigm synth!

The information available about this synth is not much, but it seems really interesting since it uses "Apex" programable analog chips.

Even hotter news! Dave Smith Instruments REV2!!!

This is definitely big news!!!

Dave Smith Instruments is updating their classic DSI Prophet 08 and introducing the DSI REV2!

Hot News! Dave Smith continues Toraiz partnership with Pioneer! Meet the Toraiz AS-1 Monophonic analog synthesizer!

I've seen some teasers from Dave Smith Instruments lately, but this one seems to be a complete surprise!
And to be honest, a pretty interesting surprise as you can see in this video that popped up in youtube yesterday!

Roland MC-202 versus Roland TB-303?

If you could only choose one of these classic Roland machines, which one would you go for?

EDP Wasp Special! Some more synth porn!

Unfortunately this weekend wasn't that productive for synth-related work...

Clavia Nord Modular G2!

For my first review, I thought it would be interesting to talk a bit about my absolute favourite synth, the Clavia Nord Modular G2!
