Price £739 Contact Moog The affection for Moog is vast. All the US manufacturer has to do is offer a sniff of a new product, development or feature, and its customers start salivating – and its sniff of the Subharmonicon got pulses racing quicker than most. At the 2018 edition of Moogfest, the maker’s annual […]
Price £2,899 Contact Studio Electronics It’s been 30 years since the release of the Midimini and Los Angeles makers Studio Electronics has decided it’s high time to revisit the monosynth with which it made its name. Like the original, the V30 is a 4u rackmounted unit. There’s a built-in power supply, MIDI-in and MIDI-thru ports, […]
Price £879 Contact Roland There is little doubt that Japanese makers Roland are major players in the world of music technology. Its many innovations, however, make it all too easy to overlook those equally important products that exist at the less glamorous end of the production spectrum. After all, few things are more fundamental than […]
Price £700 Contact Korg Back in the early-1990s, analogue was dead, sampling was big and everyone was searching for the next big thing in synthesisers and audio programming. Sensing a shift in the waters, Korg caught a huge wave and rode it all the way to the bank with the introduction of its Wavestation series. […]
Price From £665 Contact Korg Korg’s Krome synthesizer was launched back in 2012 as the mid-priced option in Korg’s workstation range. For those unfamiliar with the ‘workstation’ concept, these machines will do pretty much anything required in song production bar the vocals (although some even attempt that). You get drums, keys, real instruments, feature-packed synthesizers, […]
Price $329/£305 Contact Qu-Bit Whether you’re a newbie to Eurorack or a seasoned user, you’ll doubtless need modules within your system to cater for the sequencing of notes. It’s a common complaint from Eurorack users, performers and listeners, that while it’s very easy to exploit a basic sequence of limited length, it can often become […]
Price £1749.00 (Street Price) Contact Waldorf If there’s one company that has a slight sense of the diverse, it’s Waldorf. With a legacy that extends back to PPG (the company that innovated and packaged the notion of the wavetable synthesizer), it’s hardly surprising that this sense of intriguing innovation resulted in one of the most […]
Price £179 Contact Korg I seem to have been writing about the enduring appeal of the Acid bassline for most of my journalistic life. For those too young or who have been in a cupboard for the last 30 years, the Acid bassline was born out of the Roland TB-303, a bass machine originally designed […]
Price £1,959 Contact Moog Choosing a hardware synth can sometimes feel a little bit daunting. There’s always going to have to be a really good reason for handing over a fair wad of cash, rather than simply heading for the cheaper alternatives that are available today. Thankfully, if there’s one thing that you can guarantee […]
Price £420 Contact Behringer In an alternate dimension, possibly in a galaxy far away, robots may well have inherited the Earth, and if they did, they almost certainly would have used a vocoder to make their voices heard!
