Synth Archive

As you’re no-doubt aware, we’re fairly obsessive about vintage instruments and due to our long and varied work in the music business we’ve been fortunate enough to come into contact with some amazing beasts. Many of these we’ve owned and some we wouldn't part with come what may. It's also fair to say that while we’ve loved some we've loathed others, but it’s beyond question that they have all had their own unique qualities and this section is dedicated to some of our favourite characters.

For the dewy-eyed, it should be said that building an analogue synth collection doesn’t come without its drawbacks and many instruments have fallen by the wayside over the years. When you invest in an old instrument you take on a responsibility to maintain it at all costs and with some parts becoming increasingly harder to source  it’s one reason why we’ve taken some of our most treasured instruments and turned them into software. It may be a painstaking process but it’s the only way we can be safe in the knowledge that we’ll be using those sounds within that operational architecture in several years time.

This section indexes some of our favourite instruments, outside of the ones we’ve modeled. Click on the links to the left for more info.
