On the analog side, because most classic designs are based on Curtis/SSM chips which are no longer available, we looked into replacing these legacy components with equivalent parts with exactly the same functionality. In order to pursue our plans, we realized that we needed specific engineering horse power in both the analog and digital domains.

That included a whole series of classic analog synthesizers, including many popular legacy synthesizers including the Arp Odyssey, Mini Moog, Juno, Prophet 5, etc., but also completely new designs. We even did a quick rendering to gather feedback about interest in a Juno redesign.įrankly, the response was overwhelming and we subsequently came up with a detailed plan and roadmap. We started a research project and also conducted surveys with a German magazine called. Over the years, we have repeatedly been asked by our customers to build synthesizers and in 2010 we decided to move forward with his project. In fact this was a major reason why I built my own synthesizer almost 40 years ago. In those days, most of these synthesizers were simply unaffordable not only for me, but most other musicians. I grew up with these analog jewels and vividly remember when products such as Juno and Prophet 5 were released. This is wonderful, not only because of my personal passion for those instruments, but I always believed that digital synthesizers simply do not match the sound of the legacy analog synthesizers (and there are physical reasons for this). Over the past few years I have seen that a strong demand for analog synthesizers has resurfaced. Thank you for the great comments and questions.Īllow me to give you some background about us entering the synthesizer market.
You know, this was shared earlier by Uli regarding their efforts to move into synths, Back in January I think?
