The coolest analog product at NAMM (besides the Manley gear and
Urei reissues) had to be either the Alesis Andromeda or the Studio
Electronics Omega 8. I don't get the point of the Mephisto.
Motorized knobs? It's a good idea on a recording console, but
just about worthless on an analog synth. And especially when
it inflates the price of the synth.
