Axel Hartmann announced the date when his long-awaited virtual analog synth Hartmann 20 comes into production. The release of this mega synthesizer was planned to hit June 2016 but was postponed due to some bug “hunt”. Eventually the creators let us know that the development process is going to the finish line and that now it sounds the way a €20 000 instrument should (taxes not included ;). All who want (or all who can) may pre-order it right now.
