Grp A10 Status Update

You might remember the GRP A10 announcement back in May. The following is an update on the upcoing synth from the GRP newsletter.

"Through this newsletter, we aim to keep you updated on the progress of the Grp A10 production. This information is important for those who have already pre-ordered our new flasghip synthesiser, as well as for those who would like to learn more about the technology implemented in this machine, in order to decide whether it is appropriate for their setup.

For the latter group, we are pleased to announce that we have extended the pre-order deadline until the prototype is presented, most likely at Superbooth in Berlin in May 2026. For all the informations about the pre-order process please look at our previous newsletter.

Now, let's move on to the production progress update. The photos in this newsletter show the electromechanical part of the A10 panel. The electromechanical part and all the printed circuit boards related to the electromechanics were developed using special 3D software. We are now working on applying the printed circuit boards for the electronics. Once this process is complete, all the electromechanical parts and the parts to be applied on top will form a full set of printed circuit boards for the electronics.

This is the current state of progress. We will, of course, keep you informed with a new update as soon as we move on to the next phase. Stay tuned!"

Programming an ANALOG sound on KRONOS2

video upload by George B

"Just got my new Oberheim OB-X8 and wanted to make one of my favorite sounds on it from the OB-8 days. After doing that, I decided to try to program the Kronos as close to that sound as I could. Check it out!
This OB-X8 has some new features in the page-2 function that really make this interesting. Delays on the LFO destinations, cross modulation and much more. AND the classic Oberheim sound!"

"Yamaha CS70m. European plug 220V, 6 (dual) voice synth. It has the Kenton midi mod. All voice cards have been checked and tuned. It has received final calibration by artefacts.nl . I'm not keen on shipping it, so ideally this would be collected from Belgium or possibly Netherlands. VEMIA may be able to organise this if necessary, given time."
