NAMM 2025

It’s January, and the NAMM 2025 show will again occur in Anaheim (LA) from January 21 to January 26.

It is an event where numerous new synthesizers and music technology products will be revealed and exhibited.

Many new synths are expected from Korg, new Eurorack modules from smaller devs, and more.

Since the NAMM 2025 show is a strong trade fair for guitars, you will also see many effect pedals celebrating their premiere there.

Synth Anatomy will not be in Anaheim this year. However, I will follow the show for you from a distance and report on all the news relevant to the synth community and electronic music scene.
