KORG introduces the new KRONOS, the most powerful version of its flagship keyboard Music Workstation to date; it was announced by James Sajeva, Brand Manager for Korg products at KORG USA.

The Helmholtz Sound Synthesizer, build by Mac Kohl around 1905 is considered to be the first electronic synthesizer. And it can be yours! It is on auction at Bonham’s with a guide price of $20.000 – $30.000.

Empowering musicians to compose in a creative and influential way, the new Electribe has evolved to include such features as polyphonic synth playback, sixteen freely-assignable parts, and compatibility with Ableton Live. Featuring sixteen back- lit Trigger pads and an intuitive X/Y Touch pad, the new Electribe is easy enough for a beginner to understand, yet sophisticated enough to satisfy even the most experienced performers.

Roland is proud to announce the SBX-1 Sync Box, a universal synchronization hub for electronic musical instruments and computers. Equipped with USB-MIDI, standard MIDI, and DIN sync ports, the compact SBX‑1 provides a convenient way for music creators to use modern production tools and legacy analog devices together at one time. Going far beyond simple synchronization, the SBX-1 also provides hands-on control of timing and groove, and includes CV/Gate outputs for triggering old-school instruments such as the SH-101, TB-303, and TR-808.

Jan Willem from Ginkosynthese got a nice new project around the corner: the Sampleclicer. This ultimate realtime sampler for your modular is not another sampleplayer,  It’s a realtime cv controlled sampleslice sequencer. This project is coming soon to Kickstarter.

After releasing the modular Kabelhänger at Musikmesse earlier this year, Berlin-based instrument manufacturer KOMA Elektronik has now released a new innovative solution for modular synthesists: the Attenuator Cable.

Roland is pleased to announce that the entire AIRA family has been updated with exciting and useful new features requested by users from around the globe.
