About the Synth Geekery Show

Synth Geekery is a weekly podcast/live stream (YouTube) show about everything synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, sequencers, eurorack and music technology.

News from the Geekery

This week we have a big list of new synths and gear:

Synclavier Regen

For those who are after that authentic retro digital synth sound.

Price: $2499 USD

Black Corporation Inenin

Looks good – a Eurorack voice for a Jupiter 8 sound. However, I feel it is missing connectivity for CV. It could do with similar to what they did with Deckard’s Voice – as seen below:

Price: TBA (est $699)

Akai Pro – Force 3.2 Firmware Update

Brings you all the cool new features they recently put into the MPC hardware into your Force. If not anything else, the update does allow for the track re-ordering, a much needed change.

Price: Free
