Diese Aussage ist ebenso einfach wie ich auch exzellent: Es braucht kein Meer an T\u00f6nen, denn entscheidend ist der Klang. Dass so mancher Vintage-Synthesizer der 70er und 80er Jahre teils unerreicht hochwertige Kl\u00e4nge liefert, steht au\u00dfer Frage. Doch tats\u00e4chlich leben wir \u201cheute\u201d in einer nahezu perfekten Zeit. Einerseits hat man \u2013 mehr oder weniger \u2013 noch Zugriff auf die Vintage Analogen, andererseits wird auch bei Neuger\u00e4ten die wichtige Komponente des hochwertigen Klanges wieder zunehmend ber\u00fccksichtigt. Doepfer, Cwejman, Synthesizers.com, MacBeth, Moog, GRP, Studio Electronics, COTK, John Bowen und andere Hersteller bauen hervorragende Synthesizer, die den \u201cKlassikern\u201d in nichts nachstehen.

Diese Aussage ist ebenso einfach wie ich auch exzellent: Es braucht kein Meer an T\u00f6nen, denn entscheidend ist der Klang. Dass so mancher Vintage-Synthesizer der 70er und 80er Jahre teils unerreicht hochwertige Kl\u00e4nge liefert, steht au\u00dfer Frage. Doch tats\u00e4chlich leben wir \u201cheute\u201d in einer nahezu perfekten Zeit.
