As certainly have noticed here, Jean Michel Jarre has purchased an analogue Schmidt Synthesizer. With a price of 20,000 € certainly an instrument not for every musician but rather for acts with larger incomes. In a new video, he briefly summarizes his first impressions and plays some sounds. He especially likes the fact that the Schmidt Synthesizer combines an analog modular synth architecture but with modern thinkings. Check out the video below.
