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.
Christmas and New Year are coming, shops are anxious to sell their goods, consumers expect gifts and freebies. There’s one very generous shop in Brooklyn which offers goods for such prices that you’ll find yourself happy and canny for sure even if you go through all the costly customs and delivery procedures. You’ll never catch them quietly rising prices in order to surprise you with a phony “sale” a few months later. They offer real deals you won’t be able to resist.
Latvian manufacturer Erica Synths developers announced the release of 4 new Eurorack modules which make up a part of Pico line. Among the new designs there are such modular synthesizers as SEQS, Logic, A Logic and DSP. While creating these products Erica Synths engineers were aimed to make perfect multifunctional 3HP module solutions affordable. Let’s have a look whether they succeed.
That’s what many aspiring designers and engineers exclaimed before you even asked. Because they know exactly how it should work and how to construct it without spending extra money. Plankton Elektronics developers are the ones of those smart people. They started up a project raising funds for their semi-modular Ants! synth which embraces the number of basic modules assembled in one case. We were ensured that we would get an affordable and self-sufficient synthesizer. And you know what? Seems like we will because these guys are good. Listen to the demos and read below why we dare to think so.
