Arturia Origin: Origin is the first Arturia Hardware synthesizer. It is a modular system of a new generation opening innovative avenues in sound design.
Loaded with modules extracted from the best synthesizers of all time (Moog Modular, ARP 2600, CS-80, minimoog and Prophet VS). Details Link
(Arturia Origin sounds like it could be really expensive…)

No word yet on Steve Urkel Edition Moog.

Waldorf Rumors: New Synths Exposed.

Mac music has an article claiming to know the names and details of new synthesizers from Waldorf that are not yet anounced at the upcoming NAMM.
These are: Stromberg, Blofeld, Zarenbourg and Q Phoenix Edition.

Go here to read more of the details on these rumored synths.

To me, it sounds pretty accurrate, do to the specifics. Someone could have totally made it up though.

*update*

Confirmed. Look in the comments for a brochure link and 3d rendered pictures. Thank you Velocipede!

Korg will debut 10 new products on January 18th!

The countdown begins!!

Here are few of my top guesses:

1. A Newer, cooler looking Triton with high bit-rate sound and onboard multichannel hard disc recording.
2. Kaoss pad with Video
3. More boring consumer digital pianos
4. A Giant sized version of the Korg Microkorg with more knobs to compete with Roland’s Junos.

Steve Urkel Limited Editon Synthesizer Speculation

Jaleel White, recently age 30 and former star of ABC’s Family Matters is reported asking Moog Synthesizer for his own limited edtion branded synth. It is not known whether Moog will comment on the matter, but sources indicate that they are considering a small release of a couple hundred units if there is enough interest. Urkel was most remembered for his unique snorts and catch phrases “Got any cheese?” and “Did I do that?”

Who knew he was into synths?

The Cheapest Wireless Midi Controller discovered

DSMIDI Wifi!

Yes its the Nintendo DS converted over to a midi controller. I saw this yesterday, but thought I’d repost.

TB-303 DIY Clone

Comes with all the original parts! Somehow I think this is the coolest and closest to the original Roland that I’ve seen.
$315. If I knew how to solder better, I’d totally get one.

EMS Synthi for Kontakt 2

I recently saw one of these on ebay. The 70s suitcase synth! Now you can get a virtual version from Soniccouture

Do these vintage drum machines by Audio Realism compare to the real thing?

Audio Realism contains two different drum machines modeled after roland. The interface looks really nice
Coming out in 2007:

If thats not cool, check this piece out! AudioRealism Bassline PRO! Its like a super-modded TB-303!

Free Phaser VST

KR Phaser version R.1.1.0

Looks like it does all the normal phaser functions. I always love free plugins, even if its for Windows.
