You'll soon be able to buy a $60,000 personal jet that's being designed by a renowned Lockheed Skunkworks engineer.

Thirty five years after its initial release, the KORG MS-20 synthesizer is back. This time around, it has MIDI and USB.

Retro Synth Ads

Dave Smith's clearest design...

Retro Synth Ads is a blog full of scanned synthesizer ads from the 1980s. I'm ashamed to admit how much I looked forward to seeing new ads for instruments I could only dream of owning as a teen.

No one on earth knows how to program a TB-303 properly. That's its secret.

Mr. RetroSynthAds writes, "Growing up, synthesizer advertisements were the only way for me to find out about new synths. Gear advertised in magazines such as Keyboard Magazine and Electronic Musician. Its not that my local music shop didn't have knowledgeable staff, I was just scared of them until I was in my late teens. Please join me in my infatuation with vintage synthesizers, drum machines and sampler advertising."
