Some up-to-the-minute news from the folks at Peter Vogel Instruments:

Funky Junk, in conjunction with Peter Vogel Instruments and SNAP! Studios will be showing the CMI-30A for the first time ever in the UK at Snap! Studios this week.

Industry professionals will have an opportunity to book an extended one-on-one demonstration session with “the spiritual successor” of one of the most influential electronic musical instruments of all time.

Peter Vogel Instruments General Manager, Graeme Renaud, will be conducting the sessions and will run through every aspect of the system, from the classic retro-inspired Page R sequencer, through the “revolutionary” Soundry with its convolution and additive harmonic synthesis, to the extensive CMI sample libraries.

There will be four, 2-hour sessions per day, between 9am and 6pm from Wednesday April 17 to Friday April 19. Attendance is open to all, but appointments are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Interested prospective attendees can contact Funky Junk via email  (telephone +44(0)207 281 4478 ) to book an appointment. Event organizers ask that you “please state the day and time you would prefer to come.”

SNAP! Studios, where the event is to be held, is located in North London, close to Manor House tube station. Event organizers add, “Off-street garage parking with direct private access to the studio is available by request and yummy refreshments and endless fresh tea and coffee will be laid on.”
