This has got to be one of our favourite announcements of Musikmesse 2013 so far - introducing the new Volca range from Korg. This series consists of the Volca Keys (an analogue lead machine), the Volca Bass (an analogue bass machine) and the Volca Beats (an analogue drum machine). These little synths look extremely fun and what's more, they sound awesome!!! With all three you will have the tools to create amazing analogue drums, leads and basses. Check them out in the video below.

Novation have just announced that they're bringing back a classic! Introducing the Bass Station II - a brand new analogue synth based on the original Bass Station but re-worked for the modern era. If you've heard the original then this will certainly excite you because this synth was capable of creating super warm bass sounds as well as screaming leads. I should know because I own one of the originals!

Well, us synth-heads have been treated at NAMM 2013 so far haven't we, what with the announcement of the Korg MS-20 mini, the KingKORG, and now, and arguably most exciting of them all, Dave Smith Instruments have announced that they will be releasing the Prophet 12! In fact, Dave Smith proclaims that the Prophet 12 is his 'best synth yet'! Anyone else's knees shaking with excitement?

We've got a really exciting announcement to make now and we're itching to get our hands on this one. Korg have miniaturised one of their most iconic analogue synths ever. Introducing the MS-20 mini! This little synth reproduces the original circuitry of the classic MS-20 (1978), including that amazing analogue filter and all those patching options! Yes, that's right, this synth is fully analogue and we're also pleased to announce that it is extremely well priced for such a beast of an instrument!

The title says it all! Moog have been hinting at it for days but they've now officially announced that they will be releasing a new analogue mono synth this year - the Sub Phatty! It looks great, it sounds 'PHAT' and thankully, it is priced extremely competitively! To get to grips with it then we suggest checking out the video below!

Not long after Moog announced that they are set to unveil a brand new analogue synth at NAMM 2013, they also leaked this picture, which appeared to show its front panel branded with the name 'Sub Phatty'! We're assuming that the Sub Phatty will join the Phatty series of analogue synthesisers (which currently contains the Little Phatty and Slim Phatty) and judging from the teaser video that Moog also released, it's going to more than live up to its name!

In preparation for NAMM 2013, Moog have released a teaser video of their brand new analogue synth. Check out Herb Deutsch playing with it whilst explaining some of its features. If you're anything like us, after hearing it you'll be itching for the imminent full announcement at NAMM 2013 later this month!
