Brilliant! I’m massively looking forward to it. Sheffield legends & friends + iconic synths and a celebration of a Tristram Cary idea. What’s not to like?

Some stuff from the show.
Eurorack maker Transistor Sound Lebs has two “one hand performable” sequencers Stepper Acid and Stepper Drums.
RYK Modular has their Vector Wave combination of FM with vector synthesis ! Cool sounding.
And The Godfather.

Yiannis mentions a new product he cannot talk about, except that you play it with one hand…
omg, care to speculate @Jukka ?

God i feel old. People at Synthfest like Mylar melodies talking about the late 90s and early 2000s electronic scene, as though it was a lifetime away. Nobody at the Synthfest mentions late 70s or early 80s. Its like im several generations behind these kids who are no longer kids. This show has aged me.

Tom Szakaly was there with his Moog Model 15, keeping it decidedly early 70s!

Could it be Euro-Maracas?
I ended up donating to the ARP Foundation and copping a t-shirt, trying to buy an Odyssey from Korg downstairs and then managing to grab one online that arrived today!
Thoroughly enjoyable day spent with friends and fellow music nerds, capped off with a very entertaining show by the mighty QUADROS quartet (/sextet, if you count Dmitri and Rosie… which you must!)

Ha - yeah! I saw him in Falafel King afterwards too but decided I didn’t trust myself to not make some kind of nerdy comments whilst waiting in the queue so gave takeaway a miss

Some of us are on that wavelength, but TD rather than ELP.

I quite enjoyed Mylarmelodies wee vlog about it, looks a fun show and especially if there is some gig action afterwards I might need to make the effort to come down from the frozen north for it next year…

Yep. They picked the perfect album to end their career (Exit), but inexplicably carried on.
