"This Minilogue Polished Grey version is basically new, having only been opened briefly for testing. As seen in photos, factory tape is still on the unit and it is completely free of signs of use. All controls feel and operate like new, all ports and jacks in great shape, sound is strong and clear."

Meet the Yudo Neuman-2 - Massive Touch Screen Synthesizer Spotted at Nam

The following is Google translated from German:

"NAMM 2018: futuristic prototype Neuman-2 synthesizer surfaced!

The world has not seen anything like this: this crazy prototype from Yudo called Neuman-2 Synthesizer. A huge touchscreen sits above the keyboard. The image on the monitor is reminiscent of a spaceship's cockpit, it looks absolutely like a science fiction movie. But it controls a synthesizer. I have to see that live!
Neuman does not control UFOs

Very spectacular is the new Neuman-2 synthesizer from the hardware developer Yudo from Japan. The company is actually known for their smartphone games and music apps. Striking is of course the large touch screen monitor that towers above the keyboard on the synthesizer. On this you can see controls that actually remind of a huge console game, but could also come from a cockpit. It includes a lot of colorful shapes, big virtual sliders, X / Y pads, multitouch controller fields and above all a very nice big ad slot for parameter values. So you want a fully grown controller!
Inside, a computer-based synthesizer slumbers. Especially for this an OS was designed, which was tuned to the needs of many musicians. As the operating system is publicly accessible to developers, something great may be about to become the unique controller screen in the near future. Sound and video examples are unfortunately not yet available. But the photos definitely make you want more! Or what do you think?
Here you will find another very funny presentation of the DIY project Kami-Oto by Yudo, which reminds a little bit of Nintendo Labo.
Price and specifications

Unfortunately there are no Prizes and availability of the Neuman-2 Synthesizer yet. This is allegedly "tailored" to the user. The OS is also still in a development phase. But it could well be that the manufacturer Yudo launches a Kickstarter campaign with the very exclusive device. We are curious!"

New 8 Voice Poly Analog from Black Corporation Spotted at NAMM (Not Deckard's Dream)

It looks like a buffed up Virus C. Analog though.

Two LFOs, toe VCOs, two ENVs, and Modulation section.

Update via Silver Seraph in the comments:

"That's for sure a new PolyKobol"

That would be correct. You can see some in the archives here.

Note this is from Black Corporation. If you click on the image and look on the lower right you will see Black Corporation. The man behind Black Corporation is Roman Filippov, who brought us the highly regarded Buchla 208r Easel clone. Deckard's Dream of course is based on the CS80. All indications that this will be a faithful reproduction.


Update2: and via Ryan in the comments: "No,it is not,its a polyphonic Kobol replica.

The Polykobol uses the more weak sounding SSM2044.

On top you get Prophet Style FM modulation of the filter from VCO 2 and FM between vco's!

Massive sounding synth that will blow away vintage and new synths."

See the comments below for more.

Update3 via Autonomik Circuits: It will be shown at Superbooth 18 and Roman confirms it will be available as a DIY kit.
