Dave Bryce Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Do folks outside LA know about this? Do folks in the LA area know about this? Synthplex, March 28-31, 2019 Sounds like it'll be packed with geeky goodness... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real MC Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Looks like a cool event, too bad I'm on the wrong coast. Love that cannibalized Oberheim EVS with black panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You come out for NAMM, though. They're doing all sorts of things at this event. For some reason, I feel like there's some way to work a KC gathering into this. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Looks to be shooting a bit bigger than KnobCon, I think. I've not been to it, so pardon my ignorance - does KnobCon do pedals and DJ stuff? I guess there must be software there... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You come out for NAMM, though. OK you can stop twisting my arm *OW* Last NAMM show I attended was 2016 and since then I have been busy with aging parents in long term care, and it took me all year to empty their fully furnished house. It's a pretty time consuming exhausting job and I'm looking forward to getting my life back and get to events like SynthPlex or KnobCon or GearFest.

Mike Martin Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Ill be there.

DrSynth Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Do folks outside LA know about this? Do folks in the LA area know about this? Synthplex, March 28-31, 2019 Sounds like it'll be packed with geeky goodness... dB It's looks like it will be quite the shindig and as it's local, I'm planning to be there at least 2 of the 3 days. Michael Boddicker is very involved with the event, and bringing a lot of his classic gear for 'hand on' access in the Pop Up Synth Museum. It's a separate ticket, well worth the extra $22 to the support the Children's Music Fund. Manny People assume timbre is a strict progression of input to harmonics, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timbrally-wimbrally... stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam CA Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I've never been to this particular event. I found out about Synthplex recently through a Facebook post. Looks like they sell tickets....and even do education passes at discounted rates. I'll definitely check it out, even though I'm not a hardcore synth geek. By the way, if you live in Los Angeles, there's another smaller event coming up. I think it's called 'Imsta Festa'. www.youtube.com/c/InTheMixReviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyRude Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Looks like this is geared more towards the electronic music genre? Doesn't mean that all that gear could/would be applicable for the Rhodes / Wurli / Clav / Hammond crowd. Looks forward to show reports. Hopefully folks are experimenting with ultralight controllers? 76 / 88 key boards < 10 lbs?

Michael is basically driving the event. It's a major labor of love for the brother. Lemme see if I can get him to swing by the forum to say hey and answer questions about the show. By the way, if you live in Los Angeles, there's another smaller event coming up. I think it's called 'Imsta Festa'. IMSTA Fest is software only, I believe. It happens every year in a few cities. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam CA Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 IMSTA Fest is software only, I believe. It happens every year in a few cities. dB Not really. I attended IMSTA FESTA last year, and they had synths, controllers, mics, headphones, audio interfaces, some DJ hardware and then software of course. It is a relatively small one day event. At least that's how it was in Los Angeles last year. www.youtube.com/c/InTheMixReviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elsongs Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I've heard about Synthplex since last fall. I'll definitely go, though I don't know for how many days. I'll probably miss IMSTA Festa this year, but I went a couple years ago, it's basically a micro-NAMM show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marino Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Wow, I would be really tempted to attend... and have the opportunity to get my hands on the ONDOMO. The Ondes Martenot is one of my favorite electronic instruments of all time, and the fact that this Japanese gentleman has designed a modern version of it got me really excited.
