Schmidt!

I can only imagine the price. If they can pull it in under 5k I may consider.

"I thought I’d get you the first news about a new, 8-voice all analog synthesizer debuting at Messe in the EMC/Moog Booth (along with the Solaris, Muse, Spektralis, and Mellotron stuff).

 

It has presets, it has 7 filters (3 ladder type, 4 state variable 12 dB set up as 2 ‘dual filters’) and 4 Oscs - each osc is a bit different. Something like 107 knobs on the thing!

 

The designer is Stefan Schmidt, but not the one who runs Native Instruments - it’s yet another ‘Smith’ in the synth world :-)

 

It’s got stereo outs, individual voice outs, and some control voltage inputs (I think 4). I’ll try to get you more info later.

 

By the way - it sounds great!

 

And it’s a REAL heavyweight synth - with the travel case (like an anvil case) it’s 55 kilos!!

MAKE IT SO !

Closest thing to this is the SE Omega 8 w/optional filter cards which is around $US6K with only 2 osc per voice and no keyboard.

So... I think this thing will be more like $US8k.

Or more cynically will just never get produced.

Not that I don't want it to get produced

yeah. it looks almost like a parody of something.

I would definitely love to rub my greasy mitts on it.

I counted 133.

Gawl daaaaaanggg...

well shit, I wish I had more money and spare time than I do.

looks like too much in one piece of gear. will cost $arm/leg and i'd rather have a half-dozen bits of kit covering the same bases instead!

looks like a bloke trying to make his legacy as a classic synth designer

we're seeing a lot of these ego's popping up before retirement but it's all for the benefit of the good (and rich )

looks shit hot to me

i'm with Hat on this one. It's been my experience that three or four one trick ponies are greater than one synth that purports to do it all.

sure but what's wrong with a knobby synth when you have a room full of other one tricksters.

Or do you just like countering all of my gear related comments

Well, I'm speaking from a standpoint of limited finances. Sure, I'd love to own one of everything ever made, but that's not realistic for me.

Rumoured price: €25,000

Fully discrete. Designed by the guy from tbs/mam.

For a fully discrete boutique 8 voice it was always going to be something like that. Pretty much fantasy stuff for 99.99% of people out there. Having said that I'd take this before a €25,000 buchla. But for the money you could also get a P5, CS80, JP8, Synthex, 4voice and probably have enough change for a cwejman modular system on top.

I would love it if someone made something exactly like this that was a software/midi controller. I'd buy the hell outta that. Would have a field day with vaz/nord modulars.

we will never hear this synth in any decent track

its made mainly to avoid savings tax and to wank over at weekends
