"Kurzweil K250 in a rare rack version. This is a legendary sampler/sample play back synth from Kurzweil. Some would argue thats its the best sounds bit of gear they ever made. This was made famous by many artists in the 80's on tunes like "Tears for Fears - Shout/Head Over Heals' (the sound is all over the album). Also on early Madonna "Papa Don't Preach". Nothing sounds like this machine. It internal sounnds in it ranging from pianos, strings, horn etc and they sound amazing..."

Sponsor Shout Out

I just wanted to give a shout out and a HUGE thank you to the direct sponsors of the site. You can find their banners on the right of the site under the Manufacturers, Dealers and new Artists sections. For those new to MATRIXSYNTH, every single post you see here goes up by hand. There is zero automation on the site. Everything you see is hand picked, hand processed and hand posted. At a current average of ~50 posts a day, this takes a ton of time and work (hours a day, seven days a week). Not a single day off since 2005 with the exception of one day at the start of the blog when I had no idea what I was getting into. :)

With that, every bit of support is extremely appreciated, and the banners you see on the right of the site are the banners of those that believe in the site enough to support it. Please support them in return.

Moving forward, all new sponsors will be announced in a new post as a show of gratitude and an opportunity to call out all sponsors of the site.

That said, this month we have two new sponsors, WilliamK (our first artist sponsor), and Australia's EquinoxOZ specializing in eurorack and esoteric audio devices. Novamusik is also back. Please take the time to check them out. And of course be sure to check out others on the right as well.





BTW, an easy, free way to support the site is to simply spread the word. If you see a post you like, share it with others via your Internet presence whatever that may be - Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud etc. Every little bit helps the site.
