The Austrian synthesizer manufacturer Mayer EMI presented his powerful MD900 desktop synthesizer for the first time at Superbooth 2021. Development has continued rapidly over the last three years including a redesign of their system architecture. The result is VIBES, a more compact, more powerful and new class of synthesizer. With its 24 stereo voices, powerful Extended Virtual Analog (XVA) Engine, full integrated Digital Audio Mixer, improved Clip Launcher, comprehensive Drum Engine and the new Resonator Oscillator, VIBES becomes a unique synthesizer, that helps sound designers and artists to reach their full creative potential.
