6 Voices from Heaven:With Artemis, the Greek boutique manufacturer presents another highlight in the company's 10-year history.The analogue six-voice sound generation of Artemis has two VCOs per voice with infinitely variable waveshaping, sync function, FM and PW. A sub-oscillator or noise can be added to the VCOs. The creamy low-pass filter can be switched between 12 dB and 24 dB and modulated directly via key tracking, envelope and oscillator or noise.The first-class algorithms from SINEVIBES are once again used in the effects section. The four stereo effect blocks for distortion/bit crush, modulation FX, delay and reverb can be used simultaneously to alienate or refine the sound.Thanks to a mod matrix, connecting external MIDI controllers is also no problem; controller data such as mod wheel, polyphonic aftertouch, velocity etc. can be conveniently assigned to the parameters. The device also supports the new MPE standard.USB-B port, MIDI I/O (5 pin DIN) stereo output and a headphone socket (all 6.3 mm TRS) are available on the connection side.

The iconic TB-303 sound in the palm of your handThe battery-powered TB-03 is the direct successor to the legendary TB-303 bass line synth. The controls and their arrangement correspond exactly to the original in the new edition. And thanks to Roland's advanced ACB technology, the sound also sounds like the hypnotising liquid grooves of the silver magic box. However, the TB-03 goes even further than the original with some further developments: the four-digit LED display allows you to programme faster and more accurately, while overdrive and delay effects create a powerful sound board that will send the crowd into ecstasy. In the studio, the TB-03 can be integrated into the setup via its MIDI sockets or the USB port. The latter also functions as a 24-bit/96kHz audio interface.

The second generation Volca FM is a 6-voice polyphonic FM synthesiser with 6 operators and 32 algorithms that can easily reproduce the classic FM sounds of the 80s and 90s. The intuitive user interface, which combines the most important sound-shaping parameters in a few macro controls, allows the sounds of the volca fm to be manipulated without any in-depth knowledge of FM synthesis. Of course, it is also possible to delve into the deepest realms of sound generation in order to edit the individual operators in detail. Both a chorus and a reverb effect are available for refining the sounds, which can even be used simultaneously and controlled separately if desired. The second generation volca FM is the first device in the volca series to feature not only a MIDI IN but also a MIDI OUT connection, which means that the internal 16-step sequencer can now also be used to control external devices. If the volca fm is played via a velocity-sensitive MIDI keyboard, it can now also react to the keyboard's velocity, which enables particularly expressive playing. The new Randomise function allows new sounds to be generated randomly at the touch of a button. And the sequencer's innovative "Warp Active Step" mode brings particularly unusual rhythm structures to light. In addition to this wealth of new features, the second generation volca fm naturally still has the classic volca virtues and, with its integrated speaker, battery operation and compact form factor, is a fully equipped FM synthesiser that is easy to take anywhere.

Waldorf Iridium has made the impossible possible. The powerful synth engine of the Waldorf Quantum is now available in a handy format. Iridium follows in the footsteps of its big brother and offers all the synthesis elements of the Quantum in a rack-mountable housing. The combination of five synthesis models, incredible flexibility and sound design options down to the last detail open up new worlds of sound. The well thought-out operating concept, based on a logical layout and structured structure, allows you to create new sounds in no time at all. Packaged in a solid metal housing with high build quality, Iridium is ready to conquer recording studios and stages worldwide. As a descendant of the famous PPG Wave, Iridium joins the ranks of Waldorf Music's milestones. Iridium follows in the footsteps of the PPG, but offers much more than its predecessor.Five different synthesis models are available for each of the three oscillators:WavetableWaveform (virtual analogue)Particle (sampling and granular sampling)ResonatorKernelsKernel Mode was already released with OS 2.0 for Waldorf Quantum. This extensive upgrade makes it possible to transform an oscillator into up to six sub-oscillators. These can be linked together in any constellation via FM in Audiorate. The features added in this upgrade alone would have been enough to build your own synthesiser. All these functions are now also included in Iridium. Up to 7000 patches can be stored in Iridium. Quantum patches can be loaded into Iridium and vice versa.Iridium offers three filters per voice. Two in the Dual Filter section and one in the Digital Former. Various filter types are available:12 or 24dB and lowpass/highpass/bandpass with optional saturation or dirty mode.The filter models from Waldorf Nave, Largo and PPG 3V are also available.The two filters in the Dual Filter section can be controlled independently or in different link modes. The Digital Former contains all filter types and models from the Dual Dilter section plus some unusual filters such as Comb, Drive, Bitcrusher and more. All filters always work in stereo mode. Stereo channels are retained as such throughout the entire signal path. Six envelopes, six LFOs and many more modulation sources are just waiting to be used in the 40 slots of the Modulation Matrix. Each slot has an additional control amount. Almost any numerical value in Iridium can be used as a destination. All sources and destinations can be used as often as required until the matrix is full.If the LFOs and envelopes are ever no longer sufficient, there is also the complex modulator. Another LFO or envelope can be created with a freely drawable line.A large number of parameters are hidden beneath the surface of Iridium. Nevertheless, Waldorf has managed to pack everything into an operating concept that is easy to find your way around. The most important parameters have their own button, the rest can be accessed via the touchscreen and the encoders arranged around it. There are no deep menu structures here, but an operation that quickly leads to the goal and is really fun. There are 4x4 pad buttons on the front panel that invite you to play. These can be used to trigger notes, chords, arpeggios and sequences with up to 32 steps for notes and parameter progressions. The seven encoders to the left and right of the display provide direct access to the parameters on the touchscreen. Iridium's large touchscreen keeps you up to date and communicates with you. When you turn a knob, Iridium immediately shows the value change graphically on the display.Filter curves move, particle grains change their size, envelope curves bend and much more:Complex modulator curves can be drawn with your fingerEnvelopes show where each voice is currently locatedWavetables are displayed graphically in different viewsVU meters show the volume of each voiceVarious analysers pick up the audio signal at different points and display it graphically. Two audio outputs send out the signal from Iridium, while two further connections record incoming signals and pass them on to the synthesis engine. Four CV inputs as well as Gate In and Trigger In enable the connection of Eurorack modules, which are then available as modulation sources in the matrix. Clock In and Clock Out also enable synchronisation to other devices. Iridium has connections for USB MIDI and DIN MIDIUsing the controller port, Iridium can use other MIDI devices as hosts and exchange data with sticks and hard drives via USB. Iridium also has a micro SD slot. Once again Waldorf has confirmed its status with musicians from all over the world with a new and exciting synthesiser. Iridium was conceived, designed and manufactured in Germany. All components used are of "industrial grade" quality and thus ensure a reliable synthesiser that will last a lifetimeSynthesiser that will continue to inspire musicians for many years to come.

With Nymphes, the cult synthesiser manufacturer from Athens once again delves deep into Greek mythology. The inspiration for this was provided by none other than Homer, who wrote about nymphs as beings of divine descent in his Odyssey around 700 years before Christ.Nymphes is an extremely compact six-voice, fully analogue desktop synthesiser. It offers one "waveforming" oscillator plus sub-oscillator, 2 envelopes, noise and an extremely fast LFO including 5 waveforms, key tracking, fade in and fade out per voice. In addition, there is another common LFO (LFO2) with the same features, which can affect each and several parameters simultaneously with different strengths and extends into the FM range. In addition to a resonant 24 dB low-pass filter with precise tracking, a further 6 dB high-pass filter is available. Its 6 voices can be managed in 6 "play modes" including extremely fat unison. 7 chords can be saved per preset for the "Chord Mode". The impressive basic sound is enhanced by a lush reverb, which blends seamlessly with the sound generation and gives the sound additional depth. The connection to the outside world is made via MIDI (3.5 mm jack) or USB, while USB also serves as the power supply.

The new generation of the KORG Volca Sample brings numerous improvements and new features as a consistent further development. First and foremost, the compact sample player now offers a micro USB socket, which allows the samples in the device to be easily managed and exchanged via a connected computer. This connection can also be used for USB-MIDI signals. The memory, which has been doubled compared to the previous model, offers space for up to 200 samples, with 150 completely new (and in some cases reworked) samples already included ex works. The volca-typical sequencer now offers 16 memory locations for your own patterns and a new pattern chain function in addition to the familiar functions. However, the popular features such as the reverb effect, swing function, the analogue "isolator" filters and the numerous controllers for real-time manipulation of the individual samples have been carried over from its predecessor.

Orba 3 makes it easy for anyone to realise their own musical ideas anywhere. Thanks to the built-in microphone, any sound can be sampled and instantly transformed into a playable instrument.

In addition, MPE MIDI via USB-C and Bluetooth ensure seamless integration with any DAW software in the home studio, while the built-in speaker, rechargeable battery and portability make the device perfect for making music anytime, anywhere.

With the volca mix, KORG presents a versatile mixer in a compact format that has been specially developed for the popular volca series. Clever features such as an integrated power supply for up to three volcas, filters and effects as well as a sync start function for synchronised starting of all connected volca sequencers make the volca mix the ideal control centre in a setup with several volcas. Real faders and mute buttons enable creative live performances, and an effect loop can even be used to control external effect devices or use several volca mixes together. Thanks to the integrated stereo speakers, the volca mix can even be used for rehearsing and jamming without external amplification.

The Moog Subharmonicon is a versatile analogue labyrinth of subharmonically derived synthesis and polyrhythm patterns, equally suited to losing yourself and finding yourself through sound. This new semi-modular analogue synthesizer is designed for the exploration of sequences that unfold and evolve over time, spiralling through six-note subharmonic chords and organic polyrhythms.Subharmonicon is the latest addition to Moog's family of semi-modular analogue synthesizers (Matriarch, Grandmother, Mother-32 and DFAM). Subharmonicon is capable of creating complex sounds and patterns, yet is incredibly easy to use. With two VCOs, four subharmonic oscillators, two 4-stage sequencers and four rhythm generators, this new music machine creates a rich harmonic kaleidoscope that splits in on itself until everything above becomes below. Although no patches are required to start generating, Subharmonicon can be patched into itself to expand its on-board capabilities, or connected to Mother-32, DFAM and other external Eurorack-compatible devices for infinite possibilities.Deeper understanding (The past influences the future)For the design of Subharmonicon, Moog was inspired by radical theories of music composition that emerged in experimental circles in the 1930s and 1940s. Inspired by Joseph Schillinger's mathematical systems for music composition, Subharmonicon is influenced by two analogue innovations from the 1930s and 1940s: the Mixtur Trautonium, which used a series of subharmonic oscillators to create electronic undertones, and the Rhythmicon (developed by Leon Theremin, the inventor of the Theremin), an instrument capable of making several harmonically related polyrhythm generators sound simultaneously. Find out more about these historic instruments and how the past continues to shape the future of sound.

With its retro workflow, dynamic sounds and powerful effects, the JD-800 has earned a permanent place in the studios of top electronic music producers in the 90s and beyond.
