Schmidt-Synthesizer is now taking orders on the third batch of twenty-five new Schmidt Eightvoice Analog Synthesizers. Available in both black and white color finishes, the new synth will set you back about €20,000 when they arrive this month.
Aside from the hand-crafted design, the Schmidt’s oscillator 4 is worth highlighting with its chain of five ring modulators fed by six pulse-waves, each with different pulse-widths. It claims to create colder, wavetable-like sounds, despite being fully analog. Deploying discrete sound generation circuitry throughout, each and every parameter is directly accessible via dedicated controls on the front panel with adjustable angle and user-adjustable colored LEDs.
