You can hear the YM chip all over the place if you want to hear what it will sound like, listen to that genMDM album or music from Genesis games, there are tooooooons of demos to hear, just keep in mind that it has double the voices but otherwise there is plenty of audio out there.

Sounds like a Roland synth…I like.

a synth is of course much more than any one component, even the main one. at least if it’s a good synth…more concerned with variability, mod options and depth, effects possibilities, MIDI/CC implementation, sequencing/arpeggiator usage, etc. the demos so far sound great but if there’s some big catch in there (already worried about only 50 preset save slots on device), thyme it might kill it for me. hope to see soon, I’m definitely leaning towards it

Oh totally, II’d love to hear more demos and see some hand-on action and knob twisting and slider slidering. Unlock the videos twisted electons. I agree too I wish it had… 500 save slots, why not? That you can organize by bank.

Mmm… Sliders… I need something with sliders… You know? To slide!
Megafm, though not being an official NAMM release, is the standout product announced recently for me. It just looks absolutely awesome! If I needed another FM synth I’d pick one up.

I’m pretty keen on this simple stereo EQ. Programmable, can work with independent EQ on each channel, MIDI, presets!
For those of us who play different rooms with hardware setups, it could be a nice thing in the chain before the stereo DI box to be able to tune up the room. Sometimes, I’m in situations where the low end is too muddy and needs to be cut, sometimes, there’s too much reflection in the highs… etc…

So who’s gonna start the Superbooth speculation thread? 
Cool vid w/the Sonic State guys. Was nice to actually see the floor as they bounced around. The response to the ribbons was fun also from the various folks.

Yeah Erica Bassline seems awesome… I’ve been wanting to get somethign from Erica synths for ages this might finally be the one for me. If I were to do a top three from NAMM.
- Erica Bassline - looks super fun to play and probably the only thing show I am likely to buy.
- Pro 3 - if I didn’t have a Pro 2 I would be getting this the second there was a sale on the unit, seriously seems fantastic
- MegaFM - love the classic sega FM sound… although I am a bit hesitant about twisted electrons and the therapsid horror stories about buggyness, bad build quality and terrible support… I am not super confident that megafm isn’t going to be a shit show.

The Sonic Talk Post NAMM Discussion
with Tori Letzler, Matt Hodson, and Robbie Bronnimann who all were at NAMM.
A long one 1 hour and 21 minutes.
This years NAMM didnt do anything for me. But thats actually a good thing for my wallet!
I was impressed of the Korg FS remakes but at the same time felt they were out of reach for me - too limited runs and cannot justify the prices as I was never jonesing for the originals that much.
Wavestate was interesting until it became known that importing of user samples wouldn’t be onboard… and why oh why didnt they add a multiengine to it?
I think the “UAD going partially native” and LUNA were the most interesting new announcements for me. But that too is prolly meaningless for anyone not already invested in Universal Audio DSP
