Gear, gear and more gear for Music Machines

Only 2 days to go until we open the doors for the Music Machines event and we have a few more additions to the lineup.

Alan Brown from the Grand Central Band is going to be bringing along some of his kit to demo on the day including:

  • Korg Trident
  • Hohner Clavinet D6
  • Wurlitzer 200A Electric Piano
  • Rhodes MkII Stage Piano

Now I’m sure that some of you might say that some of these machines aren’t synths, well that’s true but they are machines and I’m a huge fan of the Rhodes, Clav and Wurli sounds.

Hugo from Goldbaby is also bringing along a few of his toys including a Oberheim DMX with a prommer which he’ll be demoing on the day, plus an MFB-522 analog drum machine, Casio SK-1 and a Moog-MG-1. Make sure you head over to the Goldbaby website to check out the amazing sample packs of classic drum machines recorded on to 2 inch tape and vinyl!

Both the Rockshop and Music Planet are bringing along a few new synths too including:

  • Moog Little Phatty
  • Roland SH201
  • Akai MPC5000
  • Korg Microsampler
  • Korg MicroKorg
  • Korg Radius
  • Nord Wave

And finally we’ve also added to the list, thanks to David Chechelashvili and Andy Morton, some great Waldorf kit and a few sneaky classics including:

  • Waldorf Micro Q
  • Waldorf MicroWave I (Mean Green Machine one of 99 ever made)
  • Waldorf Pulse Plus
  • Waldorf Rack Attack drum synthesizer
  • Waldorf Blofeld
  • Akai MPC3000
  • Moog Source
  • Akai MPC60

    Argghhhh
    !!!!!!!!
    Fantastic!!!!!
    More!!!!
    Next time I will bring my Playstation Music2000 set up! (ok it’s not a vintage synth but it’s retro)

    The korg trident!!! The prophets 5, The moog(s)!!!
    (Get into the moog, baby, you got to share your presets with me…)

    I didn’t take a camera!!! Eeek!

    THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! Wicked!

    SynCon? VinSynCon? Con For Vin Syn, no, VSC. mm? VScon.

    Loved it. OMG the pads… the warmth, the depth of timbre, the lack of surgical coldness, the, the, the, gobsmacking LUSH spectral glides… MORE!!!

    The four hours I spent there just melted away.

    Gosh. I have seen the future of electronic music. Small batch boutique synth’s with cool interfaces and semi modular design. Midi + CV interface and all analogue
    signal path…. small and light, metal and wood. with easy to follow UI and signal flow diagram on the panel. Holy cow, I should just make my own… (start with a stylophone and work upwards…)OK, step one, put the coffee on…

    PS. Can we get a forum thingy up and running? yahoo groups? No no no not face book :) Loeve your work!!!
