NAMM 2012: Schmidt Analog Synthesizer Booth Pics

flickr set by MATRIXSYNTH

Stevie Wonder's Lamar Mitchell checks out the Schmidt. I should have some video of Lamar playing the Schmidt coming up as soon as I have some time to upload it. It sounded amazing. Specwise the Schmidt appears to be the most full featured true analog poly synth with four oscillators, two filters and eight voice polyphony. The estimated price is 25,000 Euro which currently translates to $32,765 USD.

See the Schmidt label below for more including video.
