Organizers of Synthfest France have announced that this year’s event will be held April 17-19 in the Nantes region.
SynthFest France is the leading French gathering dedicated to synthesizers and electronic musical instrument manufacturers. Neither a trade show nor a purely musical festival, SynthFest is described as a “meeting place for synthesizer manufacturers and electronic musical instrument enthusiasts.”
The event will feature exhibitions, masterclasses, concerts, discussions, synth rarities, tutorials and more. As in previous years, the event will also feature a raffle (tombola).
This year’s SynthFest will be held outside the city center at the Fleuriaye Convention Center in Carquefou. Access is available by tram and bus.
Thursday, April 16, the event will be open only to Exhibitors / B2B.
Fri April 17 – Sun April 19, the event will be open to the public.
Boochow Instruments let us know that they’ve released Pure Data to drumlogue Converter, a free web app for building custom KORG drumlogue user units directly from Pure Data patches.
Like their earlier Pure Data => logue SDK tools, this takes your Pure Data patches and creates drumlogue-ready binaries for synth and FX units (delay / reverb / master FX).
This lets you prototype and share units without the need for C/C++ coding.
