This year I paid a quick visit to one of my favorites, Jorg Schaaf of RADIKAL TECHNOLOGIES. He was also the man behind Quasimidi. He was showing his ACCELERATOR keyboard with iPad editor and the SPECTRALIS 2, both great sounding synths. My videos below do not do them justice so be sure to check out the RADIKAL site for proper demos, Jorg's YouTube channel (some great music especially if you like Pink Floyd), or of course the RADIKAL label below. In the first video Jorg was showing me his iPad editor for the ACCELERATOR. In the second part the drum sound was active so let's just say the effect was not intended. :) I told him they were going to kick him out. You can hear us both laughing at the end. The next video is a demo of some of the drum sounds on the SPECTRALIS 2, followed by a demo sequence. Jorg was going to play a lead on the ACCELERATOR but had a little trouble with the audio. It happens. NAMM glitches aside, these are great synths, both in sound quality and feature set. The ACCELERATOR actually has an accelerometer built in that you can assign to different parameters. Not sure how often you might use it but it would definitely be a fun thing to try out, especially on unknowing friends. More pics below.

RADIKAL TECHNOLOGIES SPECTRALIS 2 Drums
Note these are acoustic samples vs. just synthetic drum sounds which is nice.
