MATRIXSYNTH NAMM 2013: REON Booth Pics & DRIFT BOX Modular Video

Published on Feb 4, 2013 matrixsynth·266 videos

Three videos and pics of the REON DRIFT BOX modular system. Lots of blinky lights. :) The third video and the bottom pics are the best. When I arrived at the booth NAMM was shutting down and Reon was packing up. Fortunately they turned on their systems and gave me a few demos.  Note the infrared controller in the first video.  If you look closely you will see the red sensors between all the lights.  Note the location of the patch bays in each system - one is on the left and one is on the right.  Also note each "module" is essentially an individual DRIFT BOX.  It appears they are mounted in each system with the patch points on the side.  You can find REON's website in Japanese here or Googlish here.  I believe I saw the beatnic.jp Mountain synth at the booth as well, but I missed getting a pic of it.  See the beatnic.jp label below for a couple of videos of it.
