Buchla Opens First-Ever European Distribution & Service Center

"April 10, 2013, Musikmesse, Frankfurt, Germany: Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments (BEMI) is pleased to announce the appointment of Alex4 Distribution GmbH as exclusive European distributor for all BEMI products, including the 200e-series modular synthesizer system and the new Music Easel Electronic Music Box. Effective immediately, all European Buchla fans and customers can turn to Alex4 for everything from full systems to individual modules and parts, as well as for outstanding repair service.

Attendees of this week's Musikmesse Frankfurt show are invited to visit Alex4 on Stand C51 in Hall 5.1 to check out samples from the current BEMI product lineup, including the Skylab 10-panel modular synthesizer, a custom-configured 18-panel 200e system, and the reissue of the revered Music Easel, a portable, performance-oriented instrument with a break-through price point that has put the synth on everyone's "must-have" list.

"We couldn't be more thrilled to have Alex4 stocking and selling all of our products," noted Lewis Chiodo, a BEMI managing partner and the company's director of international sales. "Alex4 and their sister company Schneidersladen have long been the go-to companies for innovative, high-end electronic music products, and we're extremely pleased to now have Buchla instruments so expertly represented in Europe."

Alex4 will also be responsible for providing repair service throughout the continent---a real bonus for Buchla users who, until now, needed to ship modules back to the U.S. for servicing.

For more information, please visit BEMI at www.buchla.com, Alex4 at www.alex4.de, and Schneidersladen at www.schneidersladen.de.

Anyone know what this is? That's a Yamaha KX25 MIDI controller so I'm guessing it's software.

Update via Bob Borries in the comments: "It looks to me like the cube plugged into the midi port is a tiny analog hardware synth. It's powered by the voltage in the midi cable and has one audio output. Amazingly small, yet has a big sound. I wonder how you edit the sounds for the 64 user presets?"
