++ | | | [SUPER SYNTH-TASTIC!\ | | \ | | WARNING! We are about to reveal to you some of the hottest new synth releases announced at last week's NAMM Show. This could get very exciting...] | | | ++
+++
| 
| |
| | DAVE SMITH INSTRUMENTS PROPHET 12\ |
| | \ |
| | ["I would have gone to NAMM to see this one synth alone!" says our Technical Director and self-confessed synth nut Chris Orchard. "Prophet 12 sets itself up to be Dave's 'best synth yet' with its 12 voices, each with 4 oscillators and a SUB-oscillator, resonant analogue filters and a new 'Character' section! You can see the synth in action in this awesome video or email us to register interest or pre-order. I've ordered mine already!"] |

| | 
|
| MOOG SUB PHATTY\ | |
| \ | |
| ["The sleek new Sub Phatty is all about subtractive synthesis," explains our News Editor Joe Stachowiak, "and it's an amazingly powerful synth with two oscillators and a sub oscillator, a Hard Sync feature, Noise control and new Multi Drive function. We heard it in action at NAMM and it's perfect for that distorted synth sound that I love. It's less than £800 so order yours now!"] | |

+++
| 
| |
| | KORG MS20 MINI\ |
| | \ |
| | ["The original MS20 is one of those analogue synths that we all drool over," says our Hi-Tech man Alex Warren, "so the Korg MS20 Mini launch was the best news of the whole NAMM Show for me. Now reincarnated in a body 86% the size of the original, the MS20 Mini features the exact same circuitry and sound and still packs a monophonic punch. Click to order yours now!] |
| | |
| | |
+++
++ | KORG KINGKORG\ | | \ | | [As if bringing back one of its classic monosynth behemoths from the grave wasn't enough, Korg also launched the KingKorg, a 61-key analogue-modelling synth geared towards live performance, with a heap of virtual oscillators and a valve driver for extra warmth. It'll be available next month, so click for more information and to pre-order yours.] | | | | ROLAND VR-09[\ | | \ | | After last year's Jupiter offerings, Roland still managed to hit the right note, keyboard-wise, with the Roland VR-09, a portable performance keyboard with 61 keys, a bevy of SuperNatural sounds (organ, piano and synth), effects and a Virtual Tone Wheel Organ with 9 harmonics bars. We're looking at a price of £799 - click for more info.] | | | | ARTURIA MINILAB\ | | \ | | [On the slightly smaller side, we were impressed by the Arturia MiniLab, a USB keyboard controller that belies its inner demons... namely 5,000 sounds pulled together from Arturia's Factory Experience collection of virtual synths, including the Moog MiniMoog, SCI Prophet V and VS, Roland Jupiter 8 and ARP 2600. At only £89, it's a super synth bargain!] | ++
