Roland JD-Xi - "Excellent synth!"
Includes drum machine, analog monosynth, and 2 digital polysynths. A great machine for creating ideas, jams and for getting that classic Roland sound. :bravo: This is the only Roland synth that us…
Hartmann Neuron - "The last new "thing" on the block"
Neuron is one of the deepest synthesizers ever made, so it's not surprising to see that it was a commercial flop for Hartmann Music. The same can be told for every extreme synthesizer. Most people lo…
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 …
Oberheim OB-1 - "Best keyboard bass choice "
I actually had two of these in the 80s. I sold one and really missed it so I bought another. I never had a better synth for the purpose of creating a credible, deep bass sound with punch to it. In…
Dave Smith Instruments Prophet REV2 8 voix - "Everything I need from a Synth "
I’m a singer songwriter with a home studio. This synth has such a broad range of sounds. I needed an on board Sequencer which this has. I’m into 80s post punk new wave and electronic genres. This doe…
Teenage Engineering PO-35 speak - "TE - pocket operator 35 sprak"
Bjr, Tout d'abord ce fut deroutant de simplicité doublé d'un apprentissage. Etant re-novice apres 17ans sans son..!! Mistake complet... Ben la c'est Miss tek qui c'est invité a la maison. MERCI...…
Roland JV-880 - "This rack module has quite a bang in sound quality with an external sound editor"
The product is used for studio use. I have the studio setup for DAW and non DAW. I was impressed with several Youtube presentations of the JV-880 that I purchased 2 units. The JV-880 has: MIDI/in/out…
Clavia Nord Stage 2 76 - "There's no better option for pro musicians"
I’m using my Nord Stage 2 mainly for the fantastic piano and organ sounds. The rest is all vst from now on. I had the electro 3 before. Also super keyboard but i upgraded. I really haven’t found an…
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…
Roland JP-08 - "Very small – but very mighty, too!"
So this is a miniature analog-modelling synth rendering Toland’s high-end synth from the early 80s (1981 precisely), the Jupiter 8. It seems sturdy and is quite heavy considering its size, which i…
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…
Moog Music Minimoog Model D (2016) - "The grandaddy of them all gets young again !!!"
If you’re reading this review, you already know the Mini (well, if you don’t, please leave Audiofanzine instantly and go read something else – Garden Design Magazine, Your Horse or anything else non-…
Roland JD-Xi - "This tiny synth could have been a giant – alas..."
I’ve tried the JD-Xi at length for almost a month, but I haven’t kept it in the end. It’s a nice small synth with many an asset but also too many flaws (some related to its youth maybe?) led me to…
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…
