Synth Deals

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the musically inclined, look no further. Let’s see what offers are currently available:

Dubreq Stylophone Gen-X1

The Stylophone Gen-X1 is a simple analogue synth with a classic and easily recognizable sound. Whether you’re trying to add a funky retro feel to your music or you’re new to the world of synthesizers, this is a fun way to do it.

The controls are limited, but you can still produce some sweet sounds with the Stylophone. Sure it’s a little different, but once you get the hang of inputting notes with the stylus you’ll be creating some quirky tones of your own.

You can run the Stylophone Gen-X1 on batteries, and with the built-in speaker, it’s spontaneously fun wherever you are. A perfect gift for a music enthusiast and a great companion for road trips and other travel adventures.

Teenage Engineering PO-12 rhythm

The Teenage Engineering PO-12 rhythm is a glitchy, gritty-sounding drum machine that fits in the palm of your hand. It has a 16-step pattern sequencer and 16 sounds to work with.

You can save up to 16 patterns and create 16 pattern chains for building arrangements. In addition, there is a range of 16 global effects to add expression and colour to the drum patterns you write.

As a portable pocket-sized creative tool, the PO-12 offers plenty of fun, and with its built-in speaker you can start creating beats wherever the inspiration strikes.

XAOC Devices Drezno II

The XAOC Devices Drezno II is a 12 HP digital module that presents a different way of working with audio or CV signals. This flexible 8-bit AD/DA converter has 8 analogue to digital outputs and 8 digital to analogue inputs.

In addition, you can deconstruct incoming signals and decouple the AD and DA sides of the converter. This gives you even more freedom to route signals between the two sides of the Drezno II and you can also use external clock sources.

While the AD input converts to binary components, the DA bit inputs transform signals into new waveforms with exciting results. If you enjoy the binary way of thinking, the Drezno II forms part of the Leibniz system with additional modules from XAOC.

Roland TR-8S

Although some purists claim that Roland hasn’t made anything exciting since the 1990s, the TR-8S remains a wildly popular drum machine found in the live rigs and studios of many electronic musicians.

It takes familiar TR-style beat creation to a new level, with the ability to layer drum samples and classic TR drum sounds to create unique kits of your own. With a range of FM drum models and effects, you can design sounds from scratch.

The TR-8S is built for live performance, and it can operate as an audio interface with eight outputs and MIDI to route channels out of Ableton Live and into your favourite hardware devices.

SOMA Lyra-8

The Lyra-8 is a unique 8-voice 8-oscillator analogue drone synthesizer. As each voice is freely tunable, it gives you a simple but slightly less linear approach to sound creation.

With each voice pair, you also have a frequency modulation control and there are features like vibrato, hyper LFO, mod delay, and distortion to give sounds more animation and texture.

Meanwhile, each voice can be individually triggered via the metal contacts, and you have additional connectivity for the CV voices and CV delay.
