Is there anything better than spending a weekend with synthesizer freaks? ("Sure, spending a whole week with them..."). The Synthesizer Meeting Kufstein 2008 is a rare opportunity to meet the (analogue) synthesizer szene and to tweak knobs on some truely rare instruments.
Anyone interested in knobby synthesizers should add this event to his appointment book! The Synthesizer Meeting Kufstein takes place on Saturday/Sunday 30th/31st of August 2008. It's not an ordinary meeting, but a combination of synthesizer museum and synthesizer sales corner.

Highlights:
Presentation of the first GRP A8 SYNTHESIZER
8 VCOs, 4 filter, 2 fixed filter banks and two 16-step sequencer -
a beautyful analogue monster. Play it!!!
