First time in many years I’ve bought anything new. Moog and Behringer more or less jumped me. 4 of the first and 6 of the latter plus the new ARP Odyssey meant some rearranging had to happen. I expanded the Jasper’s rack to stand partially on my desk, and crammed as many keyboards on top […]
This literally showed up at my doorstep. Thanx, you-know-who-you-are! Now I understand why my guitars have been so quiet. This is also a nice way to meet new neighbours.
I’ve been meaning to get a bass guitar for ages, just to get that wonderful *twannnnnng* sound. Let’s see where this ends up. And what is it with these guitar / bass naming conventions? I get it that if you have loads of similar products there has to be something that distinguishes them from each […]
A solid semimodular monosynth + sequencer. Part of my 3-piece random sound & song generator thingy consisting of this one, the DFAM and the Subharmonicon, which I plan to use as more or less one instrument. Let’s see how that goes.
This is really far from a normal drum machine, as I’ve become to know them. Drum synth with sequencer is closer to the truth. Got to give it to the Moog guys, it’s fun to come across something that really surprises you and leaves you wondering what the hell it is all about. I’m looking […]
This is something that is so different from anything else ever. It will most definitely require a lot of experimentation and me wrapping my head around subharmonics instead of just the usual stuff that’s present in every other synth ever made but this one. Even if it definitely is a machine that goes “Pinnnnnngg”, it […]
Behringer’s version of the classic-est of all classics, the Moog Minimoog Model D. With these prices, I just could not resist getting one. Seems solid so far.
Behringer’s version of the classic Korg synth. The original was the only one of the Older Monos that has been on my to-get list since I got into analog synths. At the time, 2004-ish, you could get a decent “antique” mono from 500€ upwards, and I remember seeing the original Mono/Polys going for somewhere between […]
Another case of Behringer cloning a piece of synth history, the ARP 2600. The original was on my wish list, the one you know will never happen. So Behringer really did a lot people happy by bringing this one to market. It’s a r-e-a-l-l-y nice semimodular synth, endlessly tweakable. Loads of patch points and, best […]
Got this as my on-the-road keyboard. Just a bit wider than my laptop, so it fits nicely in my bag. It will undoubtedly see more use during summers. Took it out for a spin a couple of times last summer, works like a charm.
