You probably already know that synth meetups are a great way to meet and learn from other people that are into synths. This video, from Pacific Northwest Synth 2009, documents five more reasons to go to a synth meetup.
5 Reasons To Go To A Synth Meetup
- They are the synth geek equivalent of a trip to the Playboy Mansion – everywhere you look, you see something gorgeous.
- Everybody there thinks that guys rocking out with keytars are cool.
- Where else are you going to see a giant Mini Modular?
- Analog IS better than digital. Especially when it’s digitally-controlled analog.
- Three words: MIDI-controlled skulls

A few weeks ago, I suggested that there are only two colors for serious electronic music gear: black & matte black.
A lot of Synthtopia readers weighed in, pointed out all the holes in my logic, suggested all sorts of exceptions to the rule and basically said I had gone insane.
It’s probably all true – and there’s room for those pink keyboard controllers – but at least the monome guys are on board.
They’ve introduced the monome grayscale – which features grayscale/bright white lighting. black silicone over a strong steel enclosure (wacka-chicka-wacka-chicka) and the same minimalist functionality as the original monome sixty four.
The original monome 64 is a great, influential controller. They’ve been selling as fast as they can be made.
The monome grayscale is sure to be a hit, too.
It’s going to cost $500. It’s going to have 64 buttons. It will be available starting in January – but it will probably be hard to get.
Thomas P Heckmann’s studio is more than just a working studio – it’s a synthesizer museum with a fantastic collection of some of the hottest synths ever made.
This video, in German with subtitles, features Heckmann talking about his music, his amazing synthesizer museum and why he prefers making music with vintage synthesizers.
