Superbooth NAMM 2003?
2002-04-04 by Robair, Gino
Okay, here's a new topic: A few of you have probably heard about the Frankfurt Musikmesse Superbooth (a couple of you were there!). The co-op booth included a number of analog synth/processor companies (Big Briar, Analogue Solutions; Technosaurus, Doepfer, Vermona, to name a few...), and it was a great place to meet other analog-gear enthusiasts. No to mention a unique chance to hear and play with all this wonderful stuff (like Doepfer TKB or the monstrous Technosaurus rig). There has been some talk about having a similar booth at the Winter 2003 NAMM show in Anaheim. My hope is that Wiard could be represented if such a booth were to happen. This year in Anaheim, there was a bit of a synth alley that included Big Briar, next to the Hartmann Neuron, next to the shared space of Synthesis Technology/MOTM & Encore Electronics: I kept finding myself pulled toward this area, especially after a day of hearing guitarists go wheedly wheedly... Just a thought. ginorobair
