KORG USA, Inc. sponsored the seventh Knobcon event, Chicago’s annual synthesizer convention that includes music workshops, artist performances, and more. KORG’s growing analog family was showcased at the event, including the newly released prologue series, announced earlier this year at NAMM. Waldorf Music made their debut appearance at Knobcon, displaying the popular STVC and Streichfett string synthesizers, as well as their digital-analog hybrid synth, Quantum.
Product specialist Nick Kwas was front and center at the Korg USA, Inc. booth to answer product questions and to demonstrate the key features of the presented gear. Kwas also participated in the opening reception with a live electronic performance.
“Knobcon is an event Korg USA, Inc. supports because we believe in the gathering of like-minded individuals interested in creating new and interesting art with synthesizers,” says Kwas. “The event is an absolute blast. I’ve created many meaningful connections with fellow synth enthusiasts and we look forward to being a part of it again next year.”
2019 Knobcon dates have yet to be announced.
