YouTube filters have now been re-enabled

Many musicians in Germany say Musikmesse is dead with regard to synthesizers. Some major companies are obviously not present there. Synth news are rather expected at Superbooth.

Synth news is...

But for organs, piano’s and arrangers.. its still musik messe..

But superbooth is probably the most refreshing synth event in the world, so they deserve the attention too...

I‘m always interested in arranger modules... I think Roland has now finally stopped BK-7m production. I hope I will have enough money next year to buy an SD-40 instead of spending 10 times as much for surgeries... But new alternatives for modules are welcome. Ketron is hopefully at Musikmesse. For the moment, I am determined to buy a V3 Sound Sonority XL module, which has some great acoustic solo instruments the Yamaha MODX cannot provide. But that‘s a pure rompler module without styles of course.

The strings on the V3 Sonority XL module sound very good:

Yes, there‘s a dedicated symphony orchestra department in the Sonority XL. But also great solo samples from famous musicians of Alpine music such as Vito Muzenic. Some samples are identical to the software library „Alpine Volksmusik“ from Best Service.

The person behind these samples is Klaus Dzida from Tyrol. His company V3 Sound was formerly „Limex“, e.g. known for the excellent Limex Vienna Grand piano module.
Yesterday I discovered a B-ware Sonority XL module at Thomann for 495€ (95€ less), so it‘s on the way to me now.

That's great, Crossover! I hope you enjoy the module! I'm looking forward to reading what you think about it, and hearing your demos on YouTube! Thanks for the info.

By the way, now that you've had the MODX for a while, how does its sounds compare to the other gear you've recorded with on YouTube? Of course, of particular interest is its strings and other orchestral sounds. Thank you!

A new concept...

Might be interesting to see where this leads
Espescially with varranger and other software based setups in mind

Might become interesting.
The company is from Neunkirchen-Seelscheid, I think that's in Southern Northrhine-Westphalia or Westerwald.
They should improve the speaker quality in the video, it's a strange English accent to my ears, and drowned out by the music...

A fan of V3 Sound here. I have a number of different boards in my V3 Sound Desktop arranger module. Yes, they do have sounds and features that no other module/keyboard/arranger can offer. When it comes to ethnic stuff, even my Ketron SD40 can't hold a candle to it. Also got one of their Triangle modules, oh, yes, Volksmusik VST,too. I used to be able to open it in Independence Pro, but not anymore as it doesn't support it anymore. As good as the V3 Sound Desktop arranger is, its weakness is that you can't get styles from a 3rd party. I loaded up Yamaha styles. They play but no variation works.
