Din Sync Gilbert - "A SH101 with balls "
I build these synths . They are actualy more an SH09 than a mix of 202 and 101 . The bass go’s alot deeper than a 101 or 202 . And it can sound more neat than the other fellows . You have a delay on …
Studio Electronics SE-1 - "Very nice sounding synth"
I got this in a deal and wasn't expecting too much, but pleasantly surprised. Rather than a newbie buying a Behringer or Korg, I'd rate these higher. Good build quality and a classic sound. Won't rep…
Oberheim Matrix-1000 - "WARM. HUGE. ANALOG. My new ambient pad, brass & string machine!"
I bought the Matrix 1000 in black one week ago as a counterpart for my beloved Juno 60. And this 6 voice polyphonic rack synthesizer sounds really analog and wide , even without FX. I really love the…
Behringer Model D - "A legend for €350!"
First step, unboxing: the unit is nicely finished, seems sturdy for a Behringer product, the knobs feel “hard” and the size is compact but not too much either (unlike the ridiculously small Roland Bo…
Behringer Neutron - "A switchblade that looks like a penknife"
August 2018 update Serendipity I had gone to a local shop to demo the Model D, and pure chance made me get out with this Neutron. What a great idea! My reference in terms of synth is the 80s…
Music And More MB33 RETRO - "A great and unique sound, but a disappointing(!) manufacturing quality"
I’ll try to make it as short and straight-to-the-goal as possible. I play analog acid and work live with MIDI-driven synth using Ableton. This machine is ideal for my setup as it’s light and easy …
Sequential Prophet-6 Module - "Elegant, punchy and well-balanced: the new wave!"
I was sent a request to give a review on this device, but I’ll get more into my feelings than technical considerations. As for technical aspects, you have professional reviews here or there. For …
Moog Music Mother 32 - "A sequencer + a patch panel, resulting in… THE ONE AND ONLY MOOG SOUND!"
For which specific applications or uses have you chosen and do you currently use this synth? I use it to produce electronic music, and sometimes sound design – all only in the studio though it’s …
Studio Electronics Code - "The best current-days analog synth"
° Used in the studio. I don’t recommend to use it live as it’s very sensitive to temperature difference and tends to detune quite quickly. This can be disturbing at first, but hey, it’s pure analog w…
Roland SE-02 - "MINIMINIMINIMOOG"
ROLAND’s SE-02 is a mono analog synth resulting from the collaboration between ROLAND and STUDIO ELECTRONICS. It is a kind of SE-01 (a rack inspired by Studio Electronics’s Minimoog) in Roland’s “…
Dreadbox Erebus - "A real chameleon with a vintage, mellow sound"
The Dreadbox Erebus is a very interesting synth hailing from… Greece! It’s a monophonic/paraphonic, 2-voice and semi modular model. Granted, its look is quite peculiar but I really like it, plus it …
Waldorf Pulse 2 - "Amazing versatility for the $$"
I wanted to extend my digital oriented keyboards (Yamaha MOTIF, TX81Z) with a truly analog synth. Some key reasons to go for Pulse 2: 3 oscillators; Synch; Paraphonic Pulse; Pulse modulation; Feedba…
Moog Music Werkstatt-Ø1: Moogfest 2014 Kit - "A cherry on the cake"
I use it in an amateur, recreative context. I like: - its punch, direct controls, modulation capacities, continuous signal VCA and mini-keyboard - really compact - the metal box (in this range mo…
Vermona M.A.R.S. Bundle - "An excellent analog synth"
Here are the synth’s complete features : The MARS is 100% analog, but features a digital interface (MIDI, patch saves, display), like the pulse for instance. VCO’s -2 identical main oscillator…
