DASH Signature releases EVE 2 Synthesizer

DASH Signature releases EVE 2 Synthesizer

EVE stands for Electronic Vintage Ensemble, which suggests the design philosophy behind the instrument. EVE was made to recreate in the virtual world of softsynths the exciting and immediate experience of the early age of electronics in pop, rock and jazz music from the 1960s and 1970s. In this creative period in music history, many musicians started to employ the innovative sounds of the electric keyboards which were newly available for use on stage and in the studio: Rhodes electric pianos, Hammond and Vox organs, Hohner clavinets, strings machines such as the Arp Solina string ensemble, Moog synthesizers, and all those that are now considered classics.
