Yamaha Reface

Recommended Posts

Consider living in Bergen, Norway, where people were burned at the stakes for playing synths well into the 00s. There's like a handfull of second hand synths on the market every year, of which 90% are overpriced VA.

 

What I'm trying to say is that I welcome every classic synth reissue, because that shit is/was unobtainable.

Yah, dude- here in Tokyo there are vending machines with 303s in them for $100 a pop, and they come with a pair of used panties. It's pretty dope.

last time i bought they accidentally(?) put 2 pairs of panties inside, pretty cool. the filter needed some calibration on the 303 tho

surely filters on a 303 can never be too wet.

The models are:


Reface CS – Analogue synth emulation – could be a CS80 clone.


Reface DX – FM digital synth emulation – could be a DX7 clone.


Reface CP – Piano keyboard emulation – could be a CP70 clone.


Reface YC – Organ keyboard emulation – could be a YC20 clone.

the reface synths look just as underwhelming as expected. I take it you're referring to the synthopia link?

 

Think these design concepts deserve to be anything more than a fanboy 3D modeling fantasy? Leave a comment and let us know what you think!

I think this is why. Edited by Gocab

it really looks like someone who has seen a keyboard before has actually designed the instrument.

 

deep disappoint about there being no value slider with which to wank the ratios

Isn't that what the four touch strips are for?

looks likely that I'll get my mini-dx7 then, huh

 

 

 

:emotawesomepm9::emotawesomepm9::emotawesomepm9:

It is rather not so mini dx100 (or dx100 mk2) i think

Still, if it has modern features it'll be useful.
