SynthFest France 2023 will take place between April 21-23, and Synth Anatomy will bring you video coverage of the latest synths.
The days are getting longer again, it’s getting warmer, and we are spending more time outside. The annual synth events are also making a return. In March, the one-day event Synth and Pedal Expo was in London. May will be the synth event of all synth events, the Superbooth 23 in Berlin.
In between, there is another lovely event. In less than two weeks, the three-day event SynthFest will take place in Nantes (France) with many developers and live music. It’s the come-together of the French Synthesizer community. The organizers have now published all the details about the event.

Video Coverage
I am happy to announce that I will be traveling to Nantes for SFF 2023. No NAMM show for me this year; instead, I will visit the beloved French synthesizer community. You can expect many Synthesizer news in video and written form as well as artist and developer interviews.
Don’t forget to follow Synth Anatomy on Instagram. In photos and small videos, I will take you to the floors of the SFF 2023.
SFF 2023 will be between April 21-23, 2023, and the full details are available now on the official website.
