A 400-page journey through Roland’s 50 years of inspiration, innovation, and insight!

The new book about modular synths, their makers, and masters. Patching secrets, performance tips, history, modules, and techniques.

PATCH & TWEAK with KORG is an in-depth look at Korg’s diverse collection of patchable synthesizers – the MS-20 mini, ARP 2600 M, and volca modular, as well as the SQ-1 and SQ-64 sequencers and the NTS-2 Oscilloscope. 

PATCH & TWEAK with Moog is the ultimate resource for Moog synthesizer enthusiasts and musicians of all skill levels interested in an immersive modular synthesis experience.

PEDAL CRUSH explores guitar effects pedals as a tool for everyone: showing how all musicians – producers, DJs, instrumentalists, vocalists and of course guitarists – can benefit creatively from using stompboxes in different ways.

NEW Updated 2021-version with stunning new print and paper quality! Featuring more than 30 new or updated instruments — including the Polyend Tracker, the new Haken Continuum models, ASM Hydrasynth, Sensel Morph, Novation Launchpad X, and many others.

PUSH TURN MOVE is a brand new book on electronic music instruments and a must-have for every synth and design freak.

SYNTH GEMS 1 wurde von dem bekannten Synthesizer-Experten und Musikjournalisten "Dr. Mike" Metlay verfasst und kuratiert. Das neueste Buch des dänischen Boutique-Verlag Bjooks (Push Turn Move u.a.) nimmt den Leser mit auf eine chronologische Reise durch eine einzigartige Auswahl von über 60 Synthesizern - einige beliebt, einige selten, alle wunderschön. SYNTH GEMS 1 richtet sich sowohl an Synthesizer-Neulinge als auch an erfahrene Elektronikmusiker und umspannt den kritischen historischen Zeitraum von 1970 bis 2000 mit atemberaubenden Fotos und detaillierten Artikeln, die die Geschichte, die Technologie und das Vermächtnis jedes Instruments erklären.

The product that started it all for Empirical Labs. Born of founder Dave Derr’s love of classic compressors like the 1176, LA-2A and Gain Brain (among others), the Distressor incorporates his favorite sonic characteristics of these, along with other unique and interesting features that have made it a staple for audio engineers all over the world. With over 28,000 units in the field, it’s safe to say that the Distressor is one of the best selling high end compressors of all time… if not THE best selling. A prominent recording engineer recently wagered that there probably was not a top 40 record made in the last five years that didn’t have at least one Distressor on it.

As with ELI’s other signal processors, the Lil FrEQ Equalizer takes a somewhat unique approach to its job. Instead of daisy chaining several equalizers and frequency processors, we combined most of the sound sculpting tools an engineer needs into a compact single rack space box, while still offering the highest performance of any design in its class.

Westküste? Ostküste? Oder doch gar kein Synthese-Stil, einer bestimmten Küste zugehörig, da zu individuell? Der 0-Coast (Zero-Coast oder O-Coast, wie du willst) ist ein etwas anderer semi-modularer Desktopsynthesizer. Kein Filter und doch mit grandioser Klangbearbeitung; keine MIDI-Buchse und doch MIDI-fähig; mit Tempogenerator, aber ohne einen Sequenzer zu haben? Und das ganze auch noch voll spannungssteuerbar.

The Ch.Svr music synthesizer module is a small utility module, offering several channels of signal-processing that will be useful in just about any modular system. As a condensation/extension of the sum/offset/attenuversion aspects of MATHS, it continues the great tradition of sculpting the control signals we use to sculpt our sound signals.

Make Noises langerwarteter DPO (Dual Prismatic Oscillator) ist ein doppelter analoger VCO mit internen, vielfältigen Modulationsmöglichkeiten, FM, Wavemultiplier und so weiter. Von der Grundidee von Haupt- und Modulationsoszillator mit interner FM orientiert er sich grob am Buchla 259 Dualoszillator.

The Dual Stereo Gate (DXG) music synthesizer module is a Dual Stereo Low Pass Gate and Mixer. It follows in the footsteps of the QMMG, Optomix, RxMx, DynaMix, and LxD. Unlike its predecessors, the DXG is specifically oriented around mixing stereo signals, making it an important addition to any system containing modules like XPO, QPAS, Morphagene, Mimeophon, and other stereo modules by Make Noise or others.
