Musikmesse 2013 tomorrow!

Tomorrow marks the opening of the Frankfurt Musikmesse in Germany, the largest European music trade show running from 10th to 13th of April. If truth be told, this one actually crept up on me unawares and were it not for some cool news of new synthesisers I would have probably missed it completely.

A couple of nice announcements already to sweeten the start to the week is that Nord, and Novation (amongst others) all have new products to show off at Ffm Musikmesse, with plenty of other manufacturers ready to out new gear.

The usual sites have all the details, with Nick at Sonic State looking at providing some decent coverage as always. I'm also looking forward to seeing if the boys from Bitwig will be there with a bit more information about their DAW, given that the show is happening on home turf.

Synth1 Rundown

Style: Panel #111111 and Text #cdcdcd

The VST I tend to use the most is Synth1, which provides the basis for me to create all bit of my music with. As it was included with the default installation of Madtracker II, it also became the first VST synthesiser that I got to grips with and started using 


Despite being a free product and not being updated in well over a year, this belies the absolutely stonking power of this VST. 

1st day of Musikmesse 2012

Hot on the heels of NAMM 2012 earlier in the year, the Frankfurt Musikmesse has now opened and will be running until the end of the week on 24th March. After taking a look at some of the press, there’s lots of decent coverage at the event at all the usual places. In particular, there are a few really interesting developments and announcements going on and I wanted to write about them so here we go.
