Ever listen to a song and wonder "what's that synth"? We do too. All the time. We asked our friend Christopher Fudurich from Moderns which vintage synths were used on a couple of our favorite tracks, Matter and Terrestrial, and he was kind enough to send us the following breakdown:...

Tone Tweakers has restored and maintains the entire massive vintage synthesizer collection at The Synth Sanctuary electronic music studio in NYC. It's essentially a private recording studio, but resident synth programmer Jay Wires is occasionally available to work on select projects.
