    so the synth show.... the main demographic was the middle aged grey beardy types, all caps and headphones, getting down to all the super expensive knobtwiddling kit.

    there was lots of slick gear, everything from massive sounding machines like the hydrasynth, or ob-8, through the usual modular oddities (all of which seemed to do much the same thing, but i'm not a modular expert), to the wacky leaf microphonic soundbox. but the stand out piece (to me anyway) was the arturia minifreak, which for just over £500 is beautifully made and produces some amazing sounds, not to mention the wave tables and sequencer. so easy to get into (unlike all that modualr nonsense).

    there's no doubt about it, if i wasn't a slave to reason, this is the synth i'd get. so brilliant for mucking about and developing ideas
