Quasimidi Technox

"The Technox was a follow-up to Quasimidi's first rack-mountable synth, the "MASS" engine Quasar. The Quasar was a do-it-all multitimbral unit that was quite powerful, but had a rather lacking overall sound. The single-unit-high silver-clad Technox is a vast improvement based upon the Raven engine.

The presets are utterly 90's techno, rave, IDM, electronica goodness from every pore. Lots of solid basses, rave leads, hooverish sounds, acid squeals, spacey pads and some great drum kits. The latter includes full sets of TR-808, 909 and 606 hits. There are 512 presets, which for a 1995 synth wasn't bad!

Whereas the Quasar excelled at providing a ton of bread-and-butter sounds, the Technox is oriented towards electronica musicians. Sequence up to 16 MIDI parts. Each part has its own level, pan and effects send, and much more.

There's stereo outs, full MIDI In/Out/Thru and a foot switch jack. The Technox's greatest asset, ultimately, is its 16-part multitimbrality. Channel 10 is fixed to addressing drums, but the other 15 channels can go where you want.

There's a ton of good sounds in the Technox, and it is still very useable in many electronic music genres. These units are not easy to find, but when you do they are definitely worth a listen..
Item is clean but shows normal signs of rackmount use for its vintage age of 25.

Cobalt8 Vs Minilouge Xd Vs JUPITER-Xm

Starsky Carr

"After reviewign the Jupiter Xm alongside the Cobalt 8 I realised I had the Minilogue XD sitting beside me, which would be interesting to look at as well. One is all digital, one is a bit of a hybrid. A review of the pros and cons of each."

Modal COBALT 8 vs JUPITER Xm: How do these to virtual analog synths compare?
Starsky Carr

"This is really just answering a few comments and questions I've received about the Cobalt 8 and Jupiter Xm... they both offer new takes on Virtual analog, but how have things progressed in the last 20 years? the Access Virus and Novation Supernova, both multitimbral VAs have been around since the late 90s ... so what's new?"

My ASM Hydrasynth Review my opinion : a few tricks, features, ...problems

"This video takes an in-depth look at some features on the ASM Hydrasynth:
• the hidden menu pages
• unusual features
• tricks
• shortcuts
• clarifications
• demonstrations of the effects, macros, etc.
• also includes a list of 'issues' - problematic design elements and operational shortcomings

This is my independent review - not sanctioned, endorsed or requested by ASM - and I have received no compensation from the manufacturer in any way (it is not a complete review of the synthesizer - by any stretch, it just addresses some things I hadn't seen mentioned in other YT videos)"
