ARP Odyssey (2015) - "Great job! What a sound: pleasant, lively, fat or not, nice sound grain –but a small keyboard though"

Roland VP-03 - "A vintage-spirited vocoder"
I’ve invested in a VP-03 to get credible vintage string machine and vocoder sounds, and the VP-03 perfectly fulfills my expectations. As with all Boutique series products, manufactoring quality is…
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…
Novation Peak - "The most analog digital synth around!"
Hello, Here’s my first review, in the spur of the moment after discovering it for an hour now :) First of all, it’s beautiful and the finish is really great! Soundwise, well, what a killer! Ev…
Korg T2 Ex - "An M1 on steroids"

Baloran The River - "Rediscovering the pleasure to discover a machine"
Hi all, I’m posting this review after trying the said machine for 2 or 3 hours at his owner’s, Sir Baloran. I was slightly biased in favor of the device as I’d seen and heard many demos on the …
Alesis QS8 - "Great Value / almost perfect"
I have been looking for a decent stage piano that can fill my needs for Rhodes, Wurly, Clavinet, and acoustic piano sounds. Being able to do some decent B-3 tones was not necessary but definitely a …
Dave Smith Instruments OB-6 - "Classic and modern in the same time..."
I've received a request to post a review after I updated my gear list, which I consider all the more normal on a community website like this. First, I must say I’ve only owned the OB-6 for 4 days so…
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 …
Roland D-05 - "The D-50 was my all time favorite keyboard, the D-05 reminds me why"
I've never thought much about the boutique series, especially since they're only 4 voice, although I'd consider one of the Juno models. Anyway, when I saw the re-issue of the D-50 I was very excited…
