Musikmesse 2011 - First Looks at Schmidt Eightvoice Analog Synthesizer

Thanks to Moogulator and others on YouTube we have our first videos that give us more looks and sounds of the massive Schmidt Analog Synthesizer that was on display at the Musikmesse 2011 this week.

According to Sequncer.de, this beast has 4 Filters. Two low resonance spacing-shaping and two Moog-style Multi-mode Filters. It has lots of LFOs, Frequency Modulation and Ring modulation as well. We can also spot 4 Oscillators, a joy-stick, lighted pitch and mod wheels that change color to the knob changes, 8 audio outputs and way more we're going to have to wait for the official specs to know for sure.

As for the pricing, brace yourselves. The units are said to be priced between 10,000€ to 25,000€ Euros / $14,476 to $36,190 USD. That is some serious power for a price.

Here's another clip courtesy of Summatutorials that give us another angle. Hear a number of the Schmidt Analog Synthesizer from patches being played.

MusicStoreTV have posted this clip that features an interview (in German) with Stephan Schmidt who then gives a preview.

Here's yet another video from MusikProduktiv TV with Stephan Schmidt driving the demosontration of the Schmidt Eightvoice polyphonic analogue synthesizer,
