Synth Spotting and an Interview with Mike Kiraly

You might recognize Mike Kiraly's name from numerous posts here on MATRIXSYNTH. He is the man behind the demo videos from synth and modular shop CONTROL in New York. If you are curious about his studio and his gear, you can find an interview with him on Attack Magazine here. It's a quick read and the interview is structured by the gear.

Pictured here are his eurorack modular system, one wall of synths, and a close-up of the Modal Electronics 001 keyboard synthesizer.

"Grabbed this Prophecy off Craigslist for almost nothing. It needed some love - a few buttons weren't working and some sticky keys. Took care of those issues this morning and plugged it in. Sounds pretty good even after 20 years of neglect and abuse."
