Reon Corp – a Japanese synth maker – was showing their Driftbox line of analog synthesizers at the 2013 NAMM Show.
The Reon modules are available in two formats: as individual boxes or as modules for an integrated modular synthesizer.
The modules include:
- The Driftbox S – a complete 2VCO/VCF/VCA synth – US $623
- Driftbox R – a complete synth voice module that features cross modulation, sync and pitch EG – US $800.
- Driftbox Q – a programmable step sequencer – pricing TBA
- Driftbox V – an analog vocoder – pricing TBA
Complete systems are also available, priced starting at US $8,844. Distribution in the US is, unfortunately, still to be worked out.
It’s NAMM,not Christmas !
YEt another totally unaffordable modular synth…just rich mens playthings, thank god for Dave Smith, Moog, Korg, Arturia
The Driftbox S module is a complete synth and costs $623. That’s right in line with “cheap” synthesizers from the companies you mention.
THIS reply didn’t age well, lol
Technically, it’s all “rich men’s playthings.” If you are able to afford a computer to post your message from, you’re rich from a global perspective.
No that looks sexy
To quote Ellie Arroway:
“Some celestial event. No – no words. No words to describe it. Poetry! They should’ve sent a poet. So beautiful. So beautiful… I had no idea.”
Link??!! Surely the Japanese company has a website?
OK, it’s here – you may need Google to translate it. http://www.implant4.com/REON.html Lots of Photos. Drift box S was made in a run of 50 units for about $425, all sold out. More coming. Their full-size modular looks killer.
Is there anything the Japanese cant drift?

Hello there, I discovered your website by the use of Google whilst searching for a comparable matter, your website got here up, it seems to be good. I’ve added to favourites|added to my bookmarks.
certainly like your website but you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very bothersome to inform the truth however I will surely come again again.
