Hardware Music Tech News journalism is no different from any other tech field. It is often made very easy by copying the press or marketing material word for word. Anyone can do that, even those who have nothing to do with music tech.

Synth Anatomy does news coverage differently. I try to summarize the product news as compactly as possible for the readers, focus on the highlights but also put my finger in the wound if it’s necessary. In detail, freely and independently. Regardless of whether it is an advertising partner or not.

In the Hardware Music Tech area, you can find news about all new analog & digital Synthesizer releases, drum machines, the fascinating world of Eurorack modules, effect pedals & more. This also includes topics that are not only relevant for electronic musicians such as news about audio & MIDI interfaces and more.

Not only big brands are welcome here. Synth Anatomy is also a platform for unknown products from small companies that are often overlooked. This also includes numerous news about exciting DIY projects waiting to be soldered by the communities.
