AMS Neve Introduces the RMX16 500 Series Module
Published on Jan 12, 2020 AMS Neve
Not a synth, but filing this one under synth effects. This one is in via Soviet Space Child.
"The AMS RMX16 was the world’s first microprocessor-controlled, full-bandwidth digital reverberator and characterised enormous numbers of seminal recordings from the 1980s onwards. It has remained an essential piece for any self-respecting studio ever since, and it's now available in 500 series format.
An 18kHz bandwidth, allowing it to also be used as a high quality digital delay line.
90dB dynamic range and 0.03% distortion in delay mode.
Adjustable input and output levels for optimum signal to noise performance.
Low power consumption (and therefore cool running).
Independent control of each program’s fundamental reverberant parameters.
Nudge Buttons to increment or decrement data for all selectable reverberation functions.
Alphanumeric program descriptions for ease of use when storing or recalling information for the unit’s memory.
New rotary push encoder enabling all parameters and settings to be adjusted by ear.
New wet/dry mix blend function.
New save/recall feature with 100 user-defined memory slots."
Modal Electronics Introduces New 5 Octave Argon8X & Argon8M Desktop Synths
via Modal Electronics

Modal Electronics are proud to announce the latest products in its line of innovative Machines For Musicians - the Modal ARGON8M and ARGON8X synthesisers. ARGON8M and ARGON8X join the growing Modal Electronics family of SKULPTsynthesiser, CRAFTsynth 2.0, and the original ARGON8 (37 key version).

The Modal 002, first introduced in June 2014 at $4,495, is still used and loved by top artists, film and television producers across the globe.
The two new models are welcome extensions to the line, allowing consumers two new exciting options:
1) ARGON8M - A compact desktop module version that can also be mounted into a 19" 3U rack with the included end cheeks, for those players with limited space.
2) ARGON8X - An elongated 61 key version using the same FATAR TP/9S mechanism with aftertouch, for those players who want an extended octave range.
Both models share an identical sound engine as the original ARGON8 (37 key version), with 8 voices of true polyphonic flexibility (8 independent signal paths comprising oscillators, filter, envelopes and modulation).
Modal are also excited to also announce the development of ARGON8 Polychaining, which will enable any two ARGON8’s to be in a master/slave configuration over DIN MIDI giving the user 16 note polyphony and the ability to control two ARGON8's from one. Estimated to be introduced in a software update c. March / April.
ARGON family members bring eight voices of true polyphony in professional quality packages with features previously never seen at these price points.

"It’s time to finally start playing the instrument of the future, in the future! #2020 Here are a few rock excerpts played by myself on an Atari Hotz Wing II MIDI Controller through the Roland 2080 synth. As you can hear, the Roland 2080 (circa 1996) is quite capable of playing some heavy guitar tunes and really nice sounding bass for the Bruford cover!
