The UDO DMNO (pronounced 'domino') is a new synth inspired by the Oberheim Two Voice, only they went a step further: you can play 8 voices with it, or 4 stereo (binaural) or 2x2 synth engines. It's an incredible feat, but you also get multiple filter modes, cross patching, and things the original couldn't do. It's a modern miracle, really, in a retro chassis.
The IMC (mk2) is as close as you can come to a "magic box" without renting Overstayer Modular Channel from me. Plus, its portable. Designed as an end of chain finalizer, the thought is that you run your entire mix through it, and its loud and proud and ready to go. It's very much set-and-forget, and you'll instantly get SSL type transparent compression (feed forward or feed back), Trident Lo/Hi EQ, and Lundahl transformer drive and saturation if you want it. I use it live and it makes the sound 3-6dB louder and competes with the DJ's who are redlining!
Consider adding it to the MODEL1 Mixer!
Erica Synths and Hexinverter know a thing or two about drum machines; they've been making eurorack modules for over a decade. This all in one incarnation is incredible: its an analog drum machine with two kicks and two sample players, wrapped into a sequencer. Think of a modded-out TR-606/TR-808/TR-909 style with a live sequencer and you can jam on it infinitely.
The Verbos Designer series are purpose built on the Buchla ethos and hold a typical West Coast patching style. Presented here in a complete system, it's a fun station ready to go. its form-factor is the best I've ever used: thin and perfect for desktop. Comes with the 16-stage sequencer, so you can techno right away... but can you techno as hard as I can? Rent it and see!
The Roland TR-1000 is the best drum machine ever made, period. With real analog circuits from its forefathers TR-808 and TR-909, it sounds incredible. But thats not all, because Roland took it a step further, with ACB models and FM sounds as well. Built in a metal case, it feels like the solid machines that come out of it. One listen and you'll appreciate its lineage and heritage.
The Nord Organ 3 is the new best-in-class clonewheel, with new B3 models and types, and stunning additions to impress even the toughest Hammond aficionados, only missing 200lbs or so! With 4 sets of drawbars (and 2 for bass) with new rotary Leslie simulators, drive, and incredible spring reverb, you'll be two handed riffing in no time. Of course, you can also tweak the Vox and Farfisa models for your 60's cover band. Whatever, no judgement.
Technically not a synth, but.... This all-analog beast of a DJ mixer- co-designed by Richie Hawtin- has per channel hipass and lowpass filters, SCULPT EQ, 2 auxiliary sends, and DRIVE on each channel, all of which sound great and let you carve out each mix. It is very hands on and "playable", with luxurious build quality. Typically used as a DJ mixer, it can be used with line level signals like synths and drum machines. This is the best portable all-analog mixer available at any price, and the only one in Denver for rent!
It is the ultimate "live hardware set" mixer. Check it out in my sets around Denver.
Use it with the Instant Master Compressor!
Give the gift of a synth rental, so that you don't have to buy it for them for their Birthday, Christmas, or "I'm sorry I cheated" gift!
