Analogue Solutions: Dorian Gray Complex Solved By Leipzig

Lusting after gear is something close to any electronic musician’s heart. The thinking usually goes along the lines of “if only I had [insert stupid expensive piece of gear here], then my studio would be complete and I could make my hit single”. Unfortunately, like most of life, if the day ever comes when you finally bring that sacred prize home, you’ll find that your soul is just as incomplete, and you’ll immediately go looking for a new obsession to pine over.

Well, look no further, ‘cause Analogue Solutions has all the crazy expensive and authentically non-digital gear you need. Its flagship synth, the Leipzig Synthesizer, has not only everything you need out of a fully analog monosynth, it comes with the word “synthesizer” emblazoned on the back in a kick-ass font, which is a great indicator that this British company know what we all truly want from a synth: to look impossibly cool standing next to it.

I reckon they ought to re-think something about their website, however, when someone used my laptop to check their email today, this tab was staring them in the face.
