Sonicstate.com Airs Top 20 Synths Show On Valentines Day
Just in time to snuggle up and watch with your loved one!"Sonic State will soon be streaming a new IPTV video show called The Top 20 Greatest Synths. The show is based around interviews with synth users and collectors like Will Gregory (Goldfrapp), Roger O’Donnell (The Cure), Ade Utley (Portishead) and Howard Jones (Howard Jones) and features footage, photos and facts about the greatest electronic instruments ever made.
”We’ve based the chart on the votes that have been coming in plus a bit of poetic license to include some outsiders, underdogs and a few surprises!”
Sonic founder Nick Batt and former BBC producer Simon Power have been pleased with the response to previews of the show already available to watch at Sonic.
“It’s basically an excuse to rant about all-things-synth in a show that’s shamelessly nostalgic about electronic music and keyboards with knobs on.”
The Jupiter 8, Korg M1, Yamaha CS80, JV10-80, SH101 and Odyssey all get featured on the chart as well as some youngsters like the Access Virus, Dave Smith’s Evolver, the Alesis Andromeda and the Korg Oasys.
“We know not everyone will be happy with the positioning on the chart, but there’s enough in the show’s to keep everyone smiling.”
The Top 20 Synths will be presented as eight 10 minute videocasts posted once a fortnight on Sonic and YouTube and at various other outlets. Then the programme will be posted in its entirety at the end of the run.
“There may be a DVD version available and we also have some TV interest. But that’s for the future!”
With their recent excellent Winter NAMM (the largest musical instrument trade show) video coverage and weekly Sonic TALK podcasts, it certainly looks like Sonic are staying ahead of the game.
“Sonic are working on a lot of new ideas for audio and visual downloads. 2007 is gonna be great!”
And what’s number one on the Greatest Synths chart?
“I can’t possibly comment, but you can still vote for your Top 3 by visiting the site, so there’s still time to change the outcome!”
The Top 20 Greatest Synths goes live at sonicstate.com on February 14th.

BTW, SonicState was one of the first synth sites I went to back in in 1995/96. It remained at the top of my old site's synth list starting in October of 97 until today.
Waldorf Edition Demo
Title link takes you to One more demo via Boele Gerkes of SCD."This demosong uses only the plugins from the Waldorf Edition, i.e. PPG 2.v. Attack and D-Pole Filter all programmed by Wolfram Franke plus reverb and delay from Logic. The first part of the song focusses a little bit more on the Attack, the second part more on the PPG 2.v. Although my heart still lays with hardware synths, I have to say these plugins are sounding bloody good!"
Previous post with Attack samples. BTW, I swapped images for this post.
