New Gear Coming to Synth DIY UK 2014 Set for August

"New Products On Show At Synth DIY UK 2014

At the Synth DIY 2014 Convention, Robinson College, Cambridge, UK, new products from leading UK and European synthesizer manufacturers will be on show for the first time.

Liivatera (www.liivatera.com) will be releasing two new modules. First, a through­zero voltage­controlled oscillator with complex sync, half and double­frequency outputs, LFO mode, PWM and multiple waveforms.

Capabilities will be demonstrated, and available immediately. A second 'mystery' module, together with several prototype modules, will be demonstrated, showing what to expect from Liivatera through the second half of this year.

Abstract Data (www.abstractdata.biz), the London­based Eurorack company, will be demoing their range of modules including the recently released ADE­30 Wave Boss CV utility module and the ADE­31 Logic Boss logic and triggering module. Abstract Data currently has a number of new products in development with announcements planned towards the end of 2014.

CESYG (www.cesyg.com) will be demonstrating their LEVIN Eurorack module, a 21­element LED voltmeter with multiple inputs, switchable ranges, and covering the DC to audio range. CESYG Founder Dr. Neil Johnson said 'LEVIN illuminates the signals in your synthesizer. You might know what A, D, S and R sound like, now you can see what they look like.'

There will also be representatives and demonstrations from Modulus Music, Sequentix Music Systems, Future Sound Systems, Krisp1 Modular Construction, and more.

"A group of like minded people meet to make bleeps and bloops on various types of electronic kit"

Too many synths to label. However, you don't see the Maplin, or Metasonix D-1000 every day, so they get the label.
