Happy New Year! The Year in Synths 2013

Happy New Year Everyone!

What a busy year it has been in the world of synths.

This is going to be one doozy of a post, so bear with me. This post is a review of the year in synths for 2013. We begin with Tributes to Those We Lost This Year, followed by New Manufacturers & Makers, Older Manufacturers Added to the Site, New Gear Announcements, Top 10 Posts by Traffic,  My Standout Posts for the Year, and finally This Years' Synth Events. I did my best to keep things as short and concise as possible.

Let's begin with the hardest part of the post.

Tributes to Those We Lost This Year

RIP Bernard Parmegiani - Electronic & Acoustic Composer
Lou Reed RIP
RIP Dick Raaymakers aka Kid Baltan
RIP George Duke - DreamWeaver
RIP Ralph Dyck, Sept 28, 1941 – May 20, 2013
RIP Ray Manzarek

All missed and never to be forgotten. Take a moment to remember them.

New Manufacturers & Makers

Starting last January, I decided to keep a running list of every new manufacturer and maker introduced to the site during the year.  This is something I haven't done before and I thought it would be interesting to see how many there were in the year.   It's easy to focus on the big synth announcements throughout the year, but what about all the new makers and brands? I shouln't have to go considerably into the significance of new designers on the scene, so I'll just say two things regarding them.  One, the number of new makers is a direct reflection on the interest in our scene, and two, these are the creators of new gear which directly translate into new designs not previously available to us.  Think about that for a moment.  These are makers and designs that did not exist before.  They are part of our synth history.  So what is the total count of new synth designers for the year? A whopping 113. Think about that a bit. One hundred and thirteen new synth designers and brands this year alone.

Here they are (note a handful date back to 2012, but 2013 marked their momentum and availability):

Hawkmoth "Discriminal"

Published on Dec 31, 2013 SGE·105 videos

"Live performance on eurorack modular synth. All sounds are from the modular, no overdubs. A hip hop, downtempo workout. I'd post a list of the modules but what's the point? Any questions just ask! Download an mp3 and wav file of this song here:

THE MAGIC OF THE NOVACHORD Collins H Driggs 3 x 78 LPs

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"For sale is a vintage 1941 shellac LP copy of The Magic of The Novachord on 3 x 10" records (Victor, P-57). This album features some of the earliest recorded electronic music from the Hammond Novachord. Far ahead of it's time the Novachord premiered at the 1939 New York World Fair, and within 3 years manufacturing of the instrument ceased. Perhaps the Novachord's 500 lb weight or the featured 160 vacuum tubes and nearly 1000 capacitors contributed to poor sales of this synthesizer and it's decline. This set is perfect for sampling from or to add to your growing collection of antiques synth LPs."
