Hi,

take a look for these great Instrument.

This is actually around two years old but very expensive and rare and AFAIK Hans Zimmer purchased one.

I have played this at the Musikmesse 2011 for quite a while and also talked tothe developer which seems to be a nice person.

Here is a video from 2011:

This synth is really a sound designers dream and sounding as analog as you could get. Production seems to be very limited and price range should be around 10000 to 15000 Euros.

Built by order. 55 Kg, $25.000 from last time I checked.

Amazing - and patch memory too. Seems to be crying out for a ribbon controller.

Let me grow two extra kidneys and I'm gonna get one :D

When i played it at Musikmesse 2011 i was blown away by this as i hardly have ever been before (except the first time i played a Wavestation, Jupiter 8 and Minimoog Model D maybe). This is really what i would call a dream synth.

I had seen one of the voice boards and they seem to be fully discrete.

There was a knob that could change LED color (!!) and you could save this setting too. :D

Which is also a very awesome way of categorizing patches.

I dunno if I would pay $20,000 for a clavinet, it is maybe a favourite of the dev, but how much is clavinet used in todays music?

This demo I get the feeling that it is more a rompler than a synth :help:

Clavinet like sounds had been done with analog synths since the Minimoog was released.

As already mentioned i had played the Schmidt synth at the Musikmesse and it's one of the most analog sounding analog synths i ever played...
Actualy it is based on discrete analog circuits, no pre-built chips.

I would love to own one if that would not need to win in the lottery. :)

Might as well use Zebra. It sounds exactly the same.

I do not agree on that. Have you ever played the Schmitt synth yourself?

If you want to compare the sound to a softsynth i guess Diva would be a more proper choice.
