SynthFest Intro 2020 Videos

As you might have noticed I've been posting manufacturer videos for SynthFest 2020 as it gives you both a chance to see the makers in person as well as some of their gear. Along with the maker videos there have been artist videos as well. I thought I should share them to pay tribute to the event during the global lockdown. The above is a running playlist of what's gone up so far. As new maker posts go up I'll link back to this post for the full list of videos. It's great to see some of the people and personalities that would have attended the event. Enjoy. :)

Olivier Grall's Waldorf Wave Page

"One of the best sounding and powerful synth ever made . Designed and made by ex. PPG team , this synth is a hybrid of digital oscillators including analogue filters, coming directly from the heritage of the PPG Wave with the wavetables.

Released in 1994 around 300 have been made. This one is from July 1995.

The solution to get a DX7 + a VS + a JP8 + a PPG in the same box !
Warning ! Wall of sound !"

(click for more)
via electraumatisme: "Last Thursday was the opportunity to join a synth meeting organized in a shop and I must admit I was not disappointed because amongst the classic vintage synths you can see more often now (Korg Mono/Poly, ARP Odyssey, Prophet 5 and so on) we had the chance to see and HEAR one (or perhaps the only one) Moog Modular in working order in France. What an amazing sound machine !!!"

Update via Adrien in the comments: "according to olivier grall, it was that particular moog modular who's been used to make arturia's pluggin
while talking about olivier, he has a moog modular too (a 3P + 1 box with 2 sequencers) you can view it on his page (he no longer has 6 boxes)"
