MATRIXSYNTH

Nice. I'm not sure which term is more questionable in reference to shoulder strapped synths, keytar or strap-on. Hmm... Why do images of the Akai EWI come to mind? Suit and Tie Guy, damn you! So, wouldn't a strap-on be around your waist? Now there's an idea! A synth belt! No EWI jock staps please.

MooT BooXLe's Synthesizer.com Movies on YouTube

I previously put these up here and here. They popped up on AH again, so I figured why not put up a post with both for anyone that missed my previous posts. Enjoy.

Looks like we are on a "dream synth" roll this week.

Update: Click images for much larger shots.

Update: Looks like these shots got traction on AH. Word is that it's a fake which I guessed as well. Via Mike Fiction on AH: "As a photographer I can tell you the second photo is 100% a fake. The depth of field is way too great. It's an indoor shot, light would have been low so even with a fast iso it would have been impossible to get such great depth of field with a fast enough shutter speed to have frozen things like the womans hair. There would have been motion blur. The A in alesis is just as in focus as the black pole at the far side of the tent."

Update: Some still think it could be real. If you blow up the second shot you will see the name tag reads, Mr. Kirikax (click for more info).

Via Nick on AH:
"I'm still of the opinion that it's some new prototype synth by Seekers, the Japanese company (formerly Sky Soundlab) who made the Voice Spectra vocoder (seen on the left in the photo with mics attached). They were trying to build a full featured and pricey monosynth about 6 years ago.
