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. All diesen (alten wie neuen) \u201cgro\u00dfartigen\u201d Instrumenten ist Great Synthesizers gewidmet. _________________________________________________________ In 2005 composer Arvo P\u00e4rt said: \u201cPlaying one tone really well is enough\u201d. In other words, it is sufficient to play one tone 'beautifully'. I agree with that. All musical efforts are focused on the sound itself. Although I studied classical music (piano and drums), it\u2019s the electronic sound that inspires me. Synthesizers are the epitome of new sounds and exciting tonal spheres. Today, many companies produce high-quality - excellent! - synthesizers: Doepfer, Cwejman, MacBeth, Moog, GRP, Synthesizers.com, COTK, Studio Electronics, John Bowen and others. It's their products I'm really interested in ... apart from Vintage Synthesizers, which I have been collecting for 20 years. Subsequent to our former websites Bluesynths and Blogasys, Peter Mahr and I have now created GreatSynthesizers. We hope you like it.\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/greatsynthesizers.com\\\/en\\\/author\\\/theo\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Ernst Krenek's Buchla Synthesizer (Part 1) - GreatSynthesizers","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/greatsynthesizers.com\/en\/general\/ernst-kreneks-buchla-synthesizer-part-1\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Ernst Krenek's Buchla Synthesizer (Part 1) - GreatSynthesizers","og_description":"Many electronic synth freaks don&#8217;t know who Ernst Krenek was.

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. All diesen (alten wie neuen) \u201cgro\u00dfartigen\u201d Instrumenten ist Great Synthesizers gewidmet. _________________________________________________________ In 2005 composer Arvo P\u00e4rt said: \u201cPlaying one tone really well is enough\u201d. In other words, it is sufficient to play one tone 'beautifully'. I agree with that. All musical efforts are focused on the sound itself. Although I studied classical music (piano and drums), it\u2019s the electronic sound that inspires me. Synthesizers are the epitome of new sounds and exciting tonal spheres. Today, many companies produce high-quality - excellent! - synthesizers: Doepfer, Cwejman, MacBeth, Moog, GRP, Synthesizers.com, COTK, Studio Electronics, John Bowen and others. It's their products I'm really interested in ... apart from Vintage Synthesizers, which I have been collecting for 20 years. Subsequent to our former websites Bluesynths and Blogasys, Peter Mahr and I have now created GreatSynthesizers.
