new. dream. synth.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this one really has be excited.
ReplyDeleteThis smells like some bad april fool's joke.
ReplyDeleteLike every year.
will be checking back later on for the full story :)
ReplyDeleteI am now thinking it's from Access. That's my vote (ya gotta pick one).
ReplyDelete"Yeah, this one really has be excited."
ReplyDeleteGleat Engrish!
SPDIF in? Huh?
ReplyDeleteI think its from Oberheim.
ReplyDeleteThis looks more real than pic #2, but still fake.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it's American, not European - it's all in the typefaces... ;)
ReplyDeleteOberheim is a possibility...
it's going to be too expensive
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the new look of that Kurzweil VA-1? :D
ReplyDeleteI say it's the reincarnation of Kurzweil's VA1, without the VA. With Ray back at the helm, who knows what things are in the works????
ReplyDeleteAnd that SPDIF looks awfully familiar...my K2500 has it as well!
ReplyDeleteguess what else has spdif in? a certain virus ti, one might say, eh.
ReplyDeleteThe Kurzweil theory definitely goes along with the 'real' parameter values of Hz and ms rather than just 0-127.
ReplyDeleteI checked the old VA-1 pictures when the first thread was posted...didn't look anything alike, but as mentioned supposedly Ray is back...and it has been awhile since the VA-1 was shown.
A Kurzweil with a knobby interface would be...frighteningly awesome! :)
come on. this is exciting? it looks like a 15 year old design aesthetic. i hope that's a prototype, too, as the type silk screening is wearing off!
ReplyDeleteIts a good thing I don't buy synths based on aesthetics.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the max values go to 63 - just like the Oberheim Xpander. Similar scheme too, leds above encoders. And Oberheim did make white panel synths...
ReplyDeletehmm. I really have no idea. I would go along with kurzweil. They haven't had anything in a long time and are capable of anything digital-wise. Access does go overboard though and aren't afraid to miss the price point of the mass market (they took no prisoners on the Virus Ti polar - absolutely beautiful design).
ReplyDeleteOberheim is possible I guess. Most all synths indicate the actual 128 steps for midi controls, either -64 to 63 for centered controls or 0 to 127 when you rotate the controls.Like the guy above said I think for me this thing will be way out of my league price-wise.
haha, you bet it's exciting! what the hell?!
ReplyDeleteSmells like a new Kurzweil or a new Waldorf
ReplyDeleteE-mu? Hey, it could happen!
ReplyDeleteMFB has finally moved out of their little shell cases!
ReplyDeleteSomeone say Casio now.
ReplyDeleteNative Instruments!
ReplyDeletehmmm looks like a creamware creation to me
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'll be putting the post up at 12:00 AM EST, so that's 9:00 PM PST for those on the West Coast in the Americas. For the rest, check your time tables. ; )
ReplyDelete> E-mu? Hey, it could happen!
ReplyDeleteNo, it couldn't.
matrix: We're on Daylight Savings now, remember? You mean EDT.
ReplyDelete:P
Looks like some Prophet VS type of synth. I doubt it will be from Creamware or Kurzweil, but who know's. Maybe Arturia?
ReplyDeleteits time
ReplyDeleteOberheim is Gibson and Gibson can't make a web site that supports Safari so I doubt they could get a new synthesizer to market. Not Arturia either since the knobs look nothing like the knobs in ther new (upcoming) hardware synth. Access is a 10% possibility but I'm not thinking it's them either. I will guess though that it's a well-known and/or classic synth manufacturer.
ReplyDeleteit's got a POST button!
ReplyDeletenow I can play with my synth and post to matrixsynth at the same time!
yea!
Hey Matrix,
ReplyDeleteCould we have just one tiny little clue? Pretty please?
You're asking Matrix for a clue??
ReplyDeleteThis is to laugh.
Matrix is the most clueless one here.
sure looks like Kurzweil, the fonts and styling don't look like Access. Even the colors, the Mangler is a similar color scheme.
ReplyDeleteLooks kind of Radikal to me, prob not.
ReplyDeleteZam
I say Yamaha.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say Oberheim, too, because of the buttons... and it reminds me a bit of the semi-recent OB12...
ReplyDeleteLOL! regarding the Post button. I finally found a solution to the conflict of blogging vs. playing my synths. : )
ReplyDeleteWhat's really interesting though is how that actually would be a cool idea. You can blog via your cell phone. Imagine playing a synth and then hitting Post followed by playing what you want to Post and then hitting Post again to have it actually post the sample. Like instant podcasting.
I'm dying to put the post up. Just 4.5 hours to go! : )
Ok, I'll bite on the clue since we are so close and technically it is midnight in some places.
ReplyDeleteSo, here it goes:
There are a couple of clues on Matrixsynth-b. :)
Make that 3.
ReplyDeleteSoo what you're saying is... it's a new Yamaha CS ?
ReplyDeletecould just as easily be ....a new prophet???
ReplyDeletethat would be something crazy
alas but no, it wouldnt not.
ReplyDeleteit may looketh like a man, but inside it be-eth an abonimation! for the creator has forsaken us and left this namesake realm... yarrgh!
It's the new Metasonix VA.
ReplyDeleteSynchronize Swatches!
ReplyDeleteT-Minus 4:00
:3
Well, the fonts (except for the part that says "Mixer" at the top) do look like Oberheim stuff, and the encoder layout looks a LOT like the mighty mighty Matrix 12, so my guess is that this is the NEW ARP AVATAR... My second guess is this is a new Oberheim. That would be VERY exciting IF Tom Oberheim is in charge. My third guess is that it's a new incarnation of the OB-MX, which may excite some, and frighten others.
ReplyDeleteit doesnt look very high end commercial type thing
ReplyDeleteim doubtful on one of the big corps behind this
Still reminds me alot of my CS6x
ReplyDeleteI should get a tshirt or a patch with my name on it if I'm right..
ReplyDeleteor a soild gold toilet.
yea, I had a suspicion that this thing was following the AN1X / CS sort of color schemes and designs.. it wasn't till I looked at the B page that I saw the 6Rs.. and then that made me think the layout on the image was similar to my CS6x..
ReplyDeleteI could be wrong.. but it was fun guessing..
A Tom Oberheim design would obviously come out of Marion not Gibson. The thought of Gibson making [another] synthesizer is laughable!
ReplyDeleteIt seems unlikely that a big 3 player like Yamaha would leak through matrixsynth. Too much corporate stuff going on.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for Yamaha. Compare the knobs to a CS6R, as metrosonus suggested. The buttons, the LED positions above and to the left of the buttons, the fonts, the terminology...Yamaha. Why is it so freakin beat-up though? I don't know, man, I don't think this is real.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone mentioned Roland yet?
ReplyDeleteSoftware company gone hardware? 4 filters and 8 envs. That must be a hardware version of a plugin. Something like Arturias Origin.
ReplyDeleteCheck out this tantilizing comment straight from the Clavia site :
ReplyDelete"Pack your bags and go to Frankfurt, Germany, and the musicmesse March 28-31, 2007 - where we plan to once again amaze the world of pro-keyboard players! The Clavia Team."
Whats the date today? Oh yeah...one day BEFORE the 28! No wonder Matrix has to wait!!!!!!
It obviously doesn't fit Clavia's color scheme. And see http://www.clavia.se/ This is clearly not the same synth.
ReplyDeleteclearly shmearly
ReplyDeleteit's so exciting...like the final minutes of an ebay auction...
ReplyDeleteNo! It's like the last four minutes of an eBay auction!
