Pictured left is a map showing the most popular synth brands searched by country on Google. It would be interesting to see what sells for each country on Reverb.
"We analyzed the Google searches for the 6 most popular synthesizer brands in 118 countries and evaluated the results. The findings are very interesting and show that people are generally interested in brands from their own country."
"Vibing with the KORG miniKORG 700FS Synthesizer
@KorgOfficial
Using the Nord Stage 3 as a Rhodes because my original Fender Rhodes needs service :)
I had the pleasure of having the Korg mini Korg 700fs here for a week, what a beautiful instrument!
Many thanks to the official Korg dealer Music Sound A.Tillirides & Son Ltd here in Cyprus for sending me this over for a week to check it out, much appreciated!"

"Yeah, drones and experimental stuff are fine, but sometimes we only need a four-on-the-floor kick and an uplifting synth lead. Sandstorm by @darude has both so we thought we may give it a go on our Frap Tools system!
The modules we mostly used are our Brenso and Cunsa. In this video, Cunsa performs three tasks: a filter for the bass line, a kick drum, and a distortion effect for the lead. Quite flexible!
We hope we didn't get too close and avoid getting a copyright claim.

"Episode 4 for Schlappy Patching!
In this one I'm going to explain to you what a Low Pass Gate is with a little bit of history and show how we can sort of fake one using Schlappi Engineering modules. We'ill talk about the Tiptop Audio & Buchla 292t for reference and we will also use the Make Noise LxD to guide us in our experiments.
It's going to be fun!

"Here is part one of a multi-part demonstration of a sound set of samples of the iconic RCA Synthesizer for the Arturia MicroFreak!
The instruments in the theme music (including some drums) were created entirely with samples of the RCA played on the Arturia MicroFreak, and multitracked. Some drums were assembled out of GarageBand loops.

"Welcome to the second instalment of NINA SESSIONS, featuring Melbourne-based musicians Daniel Mougerman (The Bamboos, Kylie Auldist, Ella Thompson), Angus Radley (Bermuda), and Graeme Pogson (GL, The Bamboos, Kylie Auldist, Bermuda). Once again we have two NINAs in the mix, but this time the second NINA serves primarily as Synth Bass, complimenting the lead synth and Graeme on drums, Simmons and MPC. The MOOG Subsequent 37 and NORD Stage you see in this clip are being used as controllers/keyboards only. All sounds (except percussion) are from the two NINAs. Nina is a Desktop Synth module, and requires a USB or MIDI keyboard for performance.
This session features two songs - the first, 'Swimming' is an original composition by Mougerman, Pogson & Radley, written exclusively for this recording and features Graeme on live drums. The second tune is 'Textures', composed by Herbie Hancock for his 1980 'Mr. Hands' album, and was selected by the band as a piece they thought was a great opportunity to showcase Nina. For this tune it's programmed drums from from the MPC5000, along with miscellaneous percussion from Graeme. Both songs use a mix of factory presets, and the artist's own presets/sound design.
Both tunes were recorded live at Swimming Pool Studio in North Fitzroy over a single afternoon session. 'Swimming' is almost 100% live with no overdubs aside from minor percussion, and minimal post production. 'Textures' features minor overdubbing recorded with NINA in a later post production / mixdown session. Post production and mastering has been kept minimal to give a true representation of NINA's sound and range.
ABOUT NINA:
NINA is the world’s first fully motorized analog synthesizer. Synth players have dreamt of this feature for decades, and now it’s finally available.
