Just when you think there are no new ideas, Magnus is back with the all-new-for-2023 AI-powered alien DNA-spawning future synth. Side effects may include: unintentional brood of extraterrestrial parasites. Yes, I had to drop everything to try this tonight.
Synplant 2 is as close to an alien laboratory as a synth plug-in can get - cdm.link/2023/10/synplant-2-… - breaking news from @soniccharge - we get our hands on this one.

After its release 25 yrs ago, finally we have a proper Quake 2 soundtrack on vinyl. Very proud of the @Laced_audio guys. They fought hard for us to make this happen. Hard to think i made this 25 yrs ago in a tiny Apartment. But here we are! #QuakeCon #QuakeII

THE MINIMOOG MODEL D IS BACK.
Originally released in 1970, the Minimoog Model D changed the face of modern music. Now more than 50 years later, one of the most influential synthesizers ever designed is back in production here at the Moog factory.

RIP DON LEWIS — We’re mourning the loss of an unsung synth pioneer and dear friend. Don was a multi-instrumentalist/engineer who worked on some of the most iconic tools in our field. Thank you Don - your inventive vision and amazing spirit will inspire us for generations to come.

I have an idea. If Twitter is collapsing, why don’t we all start writing our own blogs again, on our own websites? Like 2004 style. Remember how awesome that was?

The album is known for its experimental sound. It was mostly recorded using microphones directly plugged into the back of a 16-track Studer tape machine without using a mixing desk. Paul said: “I was sort of retreating from it all. Basically it was me discovering synthesisers.”
