Asking synth manufacturers to say the F word...at London Synth & Pedal Expo
Being a collection of interviews I shot at the London Synth & Pedal Expo '24, after they hired me to cover the event. The format was up to me. So I put the SAME two questions to industry folks at the show: 1️⃣ What is your favourite thing you sell? 2️⃣ What your favourite thing you DON'T sell? // More on the show: delicious-audio.com/

This was effing brilliant, even though nobody actually said "filtersweep", which the title did imply.
Captures the spirit of the day in a generous and positive manner. As always, I saw little gearing detail, but had some wonderful conversations with fine folks, and most importantly returned home with a pocket full of stickers. Isn't that the real reason we all attend such events? 😀

Thanks for your time and YES - for me the point of such events is the conversations/connections they foster.
That was a treat. There’s a unique thrill of a big room with loads of amazing gear and like-minded people sharing ideas over a couple of days. Cheers.
I love Julia Bondar. Her music feels so stripped back and simple but just hits straight to my musical pleasure sensors. She makes me wonder why I can’t do it. It seems so easy until you try.

4:00 Hearing him say out loud "The favourite thing I sell would have to be Kickain" and seeing that mirrored faceplate = it finally dawned on me what the pun is there! Facepalm. Ah, the (dis)advantages of _NOT_ being a native English speaker.

Love these interviews ! keep going!
Genius idea - really - but is it repeatable? I think you may be onto a goldmine here … either a constant show meme, or something you bring out every so often when things have shifted a little. Either way a moment of genious which I’ve never seen before. Patent it now! Loved it and thank you so much 🙏🏻
What a lovely bunch. Cheers for the vid
Loved that. Thank you!
Great idea for a video, loved it!
Wonderful trusting responses, energy well spent, thanks✌️
I really enjoyed this video, thanks 😊
Great focussed idea with a really interesting series of short interviews. But my favorite parts were the air conditioner, pizza, beer, outside shots and especially the ending :D
Excellent topic!
Glorious episode. 'nuff said. 👍
Amazing video!
lovely topic for a synth expo. well done
Cheers Alex, enjoyed that!
Terrific video. Wish I were in UK!
WOW??!!!?....Feels just like NAMM in the U.S...... NOT !!!🤐....I forgot to say THIS is one of the BEST POV Tours Ever!!!!!! ❤.
'love it ! I was starting to think no more to the hydrasynth...
Very much enjoyed
Always good content ...cheers
fun people, sharing fun things. souch a nice place.
Paused at 12m to go to signalsounds, that thing is ace!
This video was extremely cute. Looks like you had a blast.
Great idea for a video! I'd love to see another whirl with this on whatever else event you find yourself at.

The ending 👌
I love how misleading the title is and also what a great question to ask manufacturers!
Best click bate ever, not disappointed, will recommend
So true about the Octatrack. Total game changer.
OMG the battleships magnetic mixer thing 😮
Yeah yeah, like everyone else said... that was ace. 👍🎯
GREAT!!!
Great video! When I first went to the Sonicstate studio, THE ONLY piece of gear I asked to have, straight off the batt (no pun intended) was the CS-15. Now I know why my offer was declined.

As a feller with a caffeine habit, I can relate to our Jake
Liking Divkid quoting Rob Hordijk; "Modular synthesizers are not about modules, but about modulation".
HA Well played with that ending, good sir
great!

Best video since 10 hours of Nick Batt lost at Superbooth.
I swear that matthew from alm’s brain is on the same exact wavelength as mine lol
nice mixup/great content... and apparently if we could just break all our gear, it would sound BETTER :D

cs-15 is incredible
We used to joke on acid that Eliane Radigue sounds like the quiet inside of a refrigerator, and despite that the equipment used had been the size of refrigerator, at considerable cost, for all that it, it lacked food chilling capabilities.
9:11 So interesting. I had a CS15 for decades and while it’s a great synth, it never grabbed my spirit really. It was amazing for sub bass, dubby stuff… but that’s all i ended up using it for. Leads and things never grabbed me. Just goes to show, personal taste is personal.

Too much effing and jeffing!
While it hasn't quelled my GAS completely, my Hydrasynth has caused me to give a second-think as to whether or not I actually need a particular new synth discovery or not. Most of the time I realize that it has me covered, now my short list is more selective and focused on instruments that do the things it can't (which is very little).
