Plankton Electronics announced that users can now pre-order their new ANTS! semi-modular analog Synthesizer and will be shipping soon. ANTS! is a very interesting new pure analogue desktop synth with more than 50 patch points, 19 knobs for direct sound access, thousands of combinations and infinite possibilities of modulation. For me, a very intelligent designed compact synth with a lot of different sound design possibilities. The internal Midi to CV converter allows you also to create melodies with this devices. The ANTS! sounds great and I hope I can test it one day for my channel.
