Analogue

An analogue synthesiser is a type of electronic instrument that generates sound through analogue circuitry, using voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), filters, and amplifiers to create and manipulate audio signals. Unlike digital synthesizers, which use binary code and samples to produce sounds, analogue synths rely on continuous electrical signals, resulting in a warm and rich tonal quality often associated with classic music production. The sound generation process typically involves shaping waveforms, such as sawtooth, square, or sine waves, which can be further modified using various modulation techniques, allowing musicians to create a diverse range of sounds and textures.

Analogue synthesizers often feature hands-on controls, such as knobs, sliders, and switches, providing a tactile and intuitive interface for sound design. This direct interaction allows musicians to manipulate parameters in real-time, fostering creativity and experimentation during live performances or studio sessions. Although they may require more effort to program compared to their digital counterparts, analogue synthesizers are cherished for their unique character, unpredictability, and the organic nature of their sound, making them a favourite among electronic musicians, composers, and sound designers seeking to capture the essence of classic synthesis in their work.

B-Stock

“B-stock” refers to items that are not brand new but are still sold by manufacturers or authorised dealers. These products could be customer returns, showroom displays, or items with minor cosmetic blemishes. They are typically tested and certified to be in full working condition before being sold. B-stock items often come with a warranty, but it may be shorter than the warranty for new products.

B-stock products are usually offered at a discount compared to their new counterparts, making them an attractive option for buyers looking for savings. Although they may show signs of light use or minor imperfections, they should function as intended.

New

This product is brand new, unused, and in its original packaging. It has never been opened or used, ensuring you receive it in pristine, factory-sealed condition, just as originally manufactured.

It is ideal for those who want the assurance of a fresh start with their gear.

Semi-Modular

Semi-modular synthesizers combine the flexibility of modular systems with the ease of pre-patched connections. These instruments allow users to customise signal routing while retaining built-in signal paths, making them ideal for sound designers and performers seeking creativity without needing a fully modular setup. Popular models include the Moog Grandmother and the Arturia MiniBrute 2. With patch points for additional control, semi-modular synths offer a balance between experimentation and convenience, catering to those looking to explore modular synthesis without starting from scratch.

Synthesizer

A synthesizer, often abbreviated as synth, is an electronic musical instrument that generates and manipulates sound electronically. Synthesizers create sound through various methods, including subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis, frequency modulation synthesis, and wavetable synthesis, among others. They typically feature oscillators to produce raw waveforms, filters to sculpt the timbre, envelopes to shape the sound’s amplitude, and modulation sources to add movement and complexity.

Synthesizers offer a vast range of sounds, from classic analog tones to futuristic digital textures, and are used in a wide array of musical genres, from electronic and pop to rock and film scoring. With their versatility and expressive capabilities, synthesizers are essential tools for musicians, producers, and sound designers seeking to explore and create innovative sonic landscapes.
