video upload by sonicstate
Interesting notes on popular synths by various countries. Spoilers at the bottom of this post.
"We caught up with Aram from Taqs.im at NAMM 2025, who introduced us to the latest update for the Solo hybrid synthesizer. This synthesizer draws inspiration from diverse global sounds and now features new expansion packs tailored for Indian and Latin music genres. Aram explained that the Solo synthesizer combines three oscillators, offering analog, phase distortion and sample playback. What's unique are its authentic sound sets from around the world which are meticulously coupled with MIDI phrases that reflect specific cultural styles, alongside the ability to incorporate microtonal scales.
Navigating through Solo's interface, we explored the presets organized within a browser tab, featuring drag-and-drop MIDI phrases. Aram showcased how Solo's versatility allows for mixing analog and sample-based sounds, making it easier to achieve various regional sounds. Priced at $99, Solo is available for both PC and Mac, supporting AU and VST formats."
Armenians love the Oberheim OB8, the Balkins love the Casio CZ-101, Greeks the Korg Sigma and Roland SH-2000, and the Arab world loves the KORG MOS expansion engine. Who knew!
