mmm ... looks physical modeling-y
ReplyDeleteKind of looks like a Virus Indigo, from a design point of view.
ReplyDeletePhysical modeling would be nice. It's hard to guess what it is without knowing who the manufacturer is though. Maybe something new from Radikal?
Those look like old Korg displays, don't they (except for the backlight color)?
ReplyDeletecould it be waldorf?
ReplyDeleteEhhh, doubtful...they (Waldorf) already have a huge product lineup coming out, unless they somehow decided to radically change the spec and look of their Stromberg, heh.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to go with Access, Probably an Indigo 3 or new Virus.
ReplyDeleteThe knobs and the buttons really look like the Indigo's... and the white led.... dunno
I highly doubt this is Waldorf.
it looks like a gorgeous synth :3
ReplyDeleteI love the real units of measure, cutoff frequency in hertz and envelope speed in ms/s.
ReplyDeleteActually, not long before the release of the Virus TI, the engineers at Access stated that there were 2 distinct teams working inside the company. One was working on the Virus (the TI), the other was working on a product totaly unrelated to the Virus. Maybe this is it?
ReplyDeleteThe email where these statements were made should still be up on Ampfea, I just cant be arsed to look them up at this moment.
Regardless, whoever sent in that photo must be giddy with excitement over the stir its causing here.
From the design ( the LED's and display remind me of my Micro Q keyboard ) it really looks like a Waldorf synth. See the lines leading from each knob, and the split function with the knobs. Just my 2 cents.
ReplyDeleteSynthetic music for a better living....
Could just be yet another design which Axel Hartmann is responsible for. Waldorf isnt the only company that hires his help. There's also Moog, Alesis, Access, etc.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the readout reminds me of the program editor on my 01/W, but I have to wonder if Korg would bother making somethiing like this when it's already so successful with its Tritons. Still, it's an old product.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the buttons, knobs, and white LEDs smack solidly of Access. My money's on that too, but with a twitching Korg-related itch of a suspicion that I'm busily trying to scratch away.
Alesis, Korg or Novation.
ReplyDeleteVK
No way in heck would it be anything by Novation.
ReplyDeleteAlesis? Are you kidding? Have you seen the Fusion or the Photon X25? I rest my case.
Korg? highly unlikely.
Hi Ken!
ReplyDeletePhoto. Shop.
ReplyDeleteI say this is Jomox or someone small. This thing looks almost homemade (I'm exaggerating a little).
ReplyDeleteI'd be pretty surprised if it was one of the big ones, and that includes Access.

Casio SK-2?
ReplyDeleteI hope this is fake. Perspective is way off to me. If not, maybe Yamaha. Only they can botch a layout so badly...
ReplyDeleteThe Casio SK-2 was actually a later production model, quite rare. Stereo output. Haven't heard one myself but I bet that it lacks the character of the hybrid SK-1 circuitry, as well as its well-chosen PCM data. The other, later models in the SK family are certainly that way.
ReplyDeleteAs far as this new mystery synth goes, my guess that it's an Axel Hartmann layout. Looks exciting enough to me.
if this is an access synth that can actually function without a computer, they have totally redeemed themselves in my book :D

ReplyDeleteMaybe Elektron?
ReplyDelete:)
VK
No freakin' way it's Elektron. The terminology is off (they don't use "EG" for envelopes), the design is definitely not Swedish, and it looks massive. Elektron won't bring out another keyboard like the Monomachine SFX-6. Too expensive to produce.
ReplyDeleteWell let's see...
ReplyDeleteAn anonymous reader sends this exclusively to Matrixsynth. Anybody else smell hoax?
the thing having 4 filters also smells fishy. I mean that's too much of something and that's a common place with haxes, right? I really like the interface layout, though. something that could work flexibly with added features via os upgrade a la TI.
ReplyDeleteI mean hoaxes not haxes, heh.
ReplyDeleteThis is the Eldharon physically modeled banjo synthesizer.
ReplyDeleteIt was shown at the Kraftwerk underground rasta party next week.
Access contributed the aliasing technology.
Moog contributed nos vintage point to point wiring.
Elektron contributed a universal power supply.
It's to be shown at the next general assembly of the United Nations. It's preset demos play every countries national anthem, and is intended to align the planets and cause world peace.
oberheim back in the game?
ReplyDeleteoh man that Kraftwerk underground rasta party was awesome!
ReplyDeletedef looks like an access piece.... highly doubtful it's a new virus (too soon) and not thinking it's an indigo either since they already have the polar (redundant)
ReplyDelete4 filters?
ReplyDeletemaybe ohm force is stepping into the software-gone-hard ring with a meatspace quadfrohmage?
if it's real, my $ is on "effect box", not "synth."
6 envelopes in an effects box?
ReplyDeleteI guess it goes along with 4 filters...
Waldorf Wave II
ReplyDeleteThe display looks like that on the Focusrite Liquid Channel, a mic preamp. Take that for what it's worth.
ReplyDeletenovation has some sort of tie with focusrite, afaik. still looks more like some access thing to me if it's legit at all. those indigo buttons are hard to miss. more likely fake though, what a shame :(
ReplyDeleteWaldorf Wave II? LOL get up to date!
ReplyDeleteAlesis product alike? LOL no way, get glasses!
Access, Yamaha... LOOOL come on!
=;)
There are 2 obvious spots: the color (in the other picture #2) & the pots design. My guess is a new Radikal Tech. keyboard synth! Compare here:
http://www.spectralis.de/goodies/spectralis_schraeg1_red.jpg
it really looks like radical technologies to me. the knobs and the screen are identical to the spectralis.
ReplyDeletep.s. i actually have an sk-2 and it's doo doo. it's not really stereo, just an extra speaker for no reason and about a third of second or less of sampling time. it's pretty crap even for circuit bending.
As some of you may have guessed, this is a next gen virus product, unrelated to TI/a,b,c series.
ReplyDeleteThe word has it that Mr. Kemper has been hiding in the laboratory, laughing maniacally every so often and occasionally screaming "It's alive! Alive! AAAAAALLLLLLLIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
otherwise my lips are sealed shut.
in case you need further clues:
1. consider the lettering
2. consider choice of knobs and LEDs
3. Consider LCD
need I say more?
holy hell
