Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Alesis Micron. Can this brick - shaped compact virtual analog synth keep up with the Microkorg?"
"The Synth Wizards chase down and compare a crazy number of string machines, including the groundbreaking Freeman String Symphonizer and an extremely rare Elkatwin 61, and take a look at the fascinating history of these instruments. But, the Freeman needs some restoration work before it can be delivered to an interesting buyer in Los Angeles.

Synthesizer Test Drive: Solina String Ensemble
video upload by Syntaur
"Syntaur's Sam Mims takes the iconic Solina String Ensemble out for a test drive. (This is a revised version of our original Solina video, where several sharp-eared listeners pointed out that the chorus effect wasn't quite right. They were correct! The LFO circuit in the original version was not working correctly. Now, here it is in its full glory.)"
"PaRaTek è una produzione casalinga boutique di moduli d'autore ispirati al retrofuturismo sovietico e al romanticismo postatomico.
Produce: - Una vasta gamma di LED, analogici e VU meter per lampade, ovvero molte opzioni di personalizzazione - Contatori Tube Gate (trigger), per garantire che le tue esibizioni dal vivo siano sempre sotto controllo - Vari modelli di mixer audio per diversi compiti e richieste - Linea di modelli di gaters-muters manuali basati su vactrol (senza clic) "PUSK" - Interruttore di segnale random basato su vactrol a 4 canali "P3PB" - Le utilità più utili da mult passivi e attenuatori fino a un interruttore bidirezionale multifunzionale a 6 canali controllabile CV/Gate - Uno dei nostri prodotti di punta - generatore di rumore complesso "SATURNO" - E ovviamente i visualizzatori di segnale "GLITCH" tanto amati dai nostri clienti! che danno agli utenti un piacere visivo ed estetico e stimolano l'ispirazione a lavorare con il vostro sistema eurorack. - Inoltre da quest'anno abbiamo iniziato il rilascio dei nostri moduli più popolari nelle dimensioni dei formati 1u Pulp Logic e Intellijel."
