REINTRODUCING THE P.M.S. SYNTAR ANALOGUE SYNTHESIZER

YouTube via redmartian

"The Syntar was designed in the late 70s by George Mattson. George's company, P.M.S. (Performance Music Systems) manufactured these units with some work done by EML. There are roughly 8 units built and sold with a handful of prototypes, but by 1980 Moog Music had the Syntar beat marketing wise with its lesser Liberation.

Mark Mothersbaugh once optically scanned a Syntar at NAMM, but it seems the Liberation ended up in their rig.

I wanted to post a simple piece first and then later go into much further detail about what the Syntar can do that most mono-synths cannot and why it blows all other 'keytars' away.

(I hope I beat Jean Michel Jarre by posting the first Syntar video anywhere)"

Note that Jean Michel Jarre indeed did recently pick up a Syntar. Via his official blog:
"These past few days I have been chasing some analog instruments which I need for some new tracks and for the future on stage. I found a second Moog Liberation and a very rare portable keyboard, the Syntar."

Vermona DRM1 MKIII

YouTube via wiretotheear
"About two weeks ago I purchased a brand new Vermona DRM1 MKIII from Schnieders Buero in Berlin. I've had some time to play with it and am ready to report to you. These things are in demand and back ordered. It took almost three weeks for Vermona to deliver my DRM1 to Herr Schnieder. There is a good reason why: these sound smashing!

There is nothing like the Vermona DRM1. It is a fully analog drum machine done right. The super fast attack time on the kick and snare make them snap and crack in a way that will make you say "YES THIS IS IT!". The hi hats are so smooth, bright and shimmer without any EQ needed. The DRM1 has a real spring reverb built into it and when turned up on the clap and snare channels the clock turns back to 1980. There's are also multiple extra drum channels for lazer zaps or toms which can be manipulated to the extreme with FM. If I had to describe it's overall tone in one word I would say: chrome!

It uses standard midi but you can not record knob changes into your DAW. You will need to put your hands on the controls, start recording it as audio and capture your movements in real time. You can't save presets. Thank god for that. The main point of all those knobs is to focus in on each song your doing and tune each sound, the hi hat decay level, the snap of the kick. There is a pan control for each sound and individual outputs for each channel.

The unit is metal and feels very well built. Vermona is from East Germany. The reason you buy something like this is the sound.
