Also known as the bluesynths gathering.

"Yet another amazing meeting for synthesizer enthusiasts!

On 2009 September the 5th and 6th the 3rd synthesizer meeting in Kufstein Austria was held. A lot of rare synthesizers gear were shown again. But also contemporary Synthesizer manufacturers and developers i.e. Curtronic, Doepfer, GRP etc. were present in person."

You might recognize the blue DIY modular in the shot below from this post way back in 2007. Click on the Kufstein label below for all posts including videos.

Oberheim Matrix-6R multitracked

YouTube via twelvebits
"A simple tune to demo this very versatile, dark, 80's sounding analogue synth. Drums are E-mu Drumulator (samples in Guru). All the rest is Matrix, with some processing (EQ, effects, compression) in Logic 8. The bass is made in unison mode."

Doepfer Dark Energy multitracked

YouTube via twelvebits
"A quick tune to demo this very powerful little monosynth. ALL sounds come from the Doepfer, even the chords, as they are multitracked. Recorded into Logic 8 with slight processing (EQ, compression and reverb). In the video I only tweak the bass sound.

I totally dig this synth. It has a great sounding VCO and very snappy envelopes. IMO it has much more balls than the DSI Evolver!"

Doepfer Dark Energy bass

"The DE is routed through RNC 1773 compressor straight into Logic 8 without further processing. In the vid filter cutoff and resonance are tweaked. The high LFO frequency creates the high-pitched distortion in the sound.

Patch cables:
(1) Envelope to VCF freq.
(2) LFO 1 to VCO PW"

KORG POLYSIX SYNTHESIZER + MIDITEC RETROFIT

via this auction

"KORG POLYSIX which has been modified with the integration of a MIDI interface (Miditec Retrofit). Because of this modification, it is important to note that the arpeggiator is not anymore operational, but on the other hand you are able to use any DAW or sequencer to control the device via the MIDI protocol."
