General

Modal Electronics' 008 is a large synthesizer that's packed with possibilities and perfect for use in professional studios and on stage. It has eight voices, each of which has two analogue VCOs with classic waveforms and two sub oscillators. The filter is extensive too and offers traditional modes like low pass, band pass and high pass as well as more unusual ones like notch and phase, among others. Oscillator FM, filter FM and two LFOs give you even more sound options. All this can be controlled using the many buttons and knobs that are spread out across the entire front panel giving you a clear overview. In the centre, you'll also find a beautiful 4.3-inch display.

There's also a comprehensive modulation matrix, a 32-step sequencer and an arpeggiator on board. Other highlights include a web interface for operation via a browser. In addition to standard MIDI, there's also USB-MIDI host that allows you to connect a USB device, like a MIDI controller, without a computer. The 008 even has XLR/jack combo outputs! If you're after a fully-fledged synthesizer with real quality, the 008 is worth every penny.

Tuesday 15 September 2015

The rumour mill is back! It's time for speculation, and this time, it's about the new Roland Boutique! Roland has us going before with their sneak preview of the Aira machines, and that all turned out well. But now, let's sit back and enjoy some good old-fashioned guesswork!

Thursday 1 October 2015

From a rumour to a leak, and from a leak to a formal announcement: Roland finally presents the Boutique Series! A few weeks ago, there was some speculation about the new Roland Boutique synthesizers.

NAMM 2016: Korg Minilogue Analogue Synthesizer

NAMM 2016: Casio MZ-X: A New MZ-2000?

Monday 11 January 2016

The image below recently turned up on the internet. Based on the text and the accompanying specifications, we assume that Casio is trying to lure us to their NAMM booth so they can present their latest keyboard/synthesizer: the MZ-X. This will likely remind keyboard enthusiasts of the MZ-2000, an old Casio model that, considering the words 'Reinvented, Reimagined, Reborn' is apparently about to be brought back to life. Rumour has it that two models will be released, the MZ-500 and the MZ-1000, but take that with a grain of salt; it's very possible that MZ-X is indeed the final name for this workstation.
