NAMM 2026

It’s January, and the NAMM 2026 show will again occur in Anaheim (LA) from January 20 to January 24.

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

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.
