NAMM 2016 Roundup from CatSynth

CatSynth's final roundup of NAMM 2016 has gone up. You'll find it along with the rest on CatSynth here.

Pictured to the left is Make Noise's new little desktop synth. I had a chance to check it out myself at NAMM. It felt solid and as expected was making all sorts of sonic mayhem. Definitely one of the top tempting little boxes at NAMM.

It as well as other eurorack products at NAMM made me think of how overwhelming the modular world can be. Smaller systems like this are a fun way to hone in and focus on just what a cool little configuration can do. You can block everything else out and just get lost in the magic of that one little device, and when ready you can of course integrate it with a larger system through all the patch points.

Looking back at all the synth related gear, we are truly in a golden age of synthesis. It's pretty amazing.

Published on Jan 28, 2016 sonicstate

"Expert Sleepers Disting is a multi-function 4hp module which provides an astonishing number of functions from signal generators, to modulators, quantization and time and delay functions.

Oz is the mastermind behind Expert Sleepers, and he takes us through some of the new functions hes been working on with the Disting MK3. MK3 ads an SD card reader, making firmware updates simple.

It really is a massive selection of features in a very small module.

We also get a look at the FH-1 - a MIDI host with CV connectivity - and you can expand the outputs with multiple expansion outputs."
