The Synthplex exhibit halls will be open Friday – Sunday, March 27-29, and feature dozens of synth and software makers, coming from as far away as France, Germany, Russia and New Zealand. We can’t share details yet, but several companies will be debuting new electronic music gear at this year’s event.
Panel discussions and presentations, as well as DIY synth workshops and seminars, go on throughout the day while the exhibit halls are open. There are also keynote addresses, like this one during the inaugural Synthplex last year, with Junkie XL (Tom Holkenborg):
Tickets are also available for an adjacent pop-up synth museum at Synthplex, with a new vintage synth collection on display for 2020. All the proceeds from the pop-up synth museum this year will benefit the Bob Moog Foundation, who are also conducting sessions of Dr. Bob’s Soundschool on Friday and Saturday morning during the event.

Is this bigger than Knobcon?
Just different.
Knobcon is more like a synth meetup on steroids.
Synthplex has a stronger lineup of speakers and performers, and has more going on in general. It also gets a lot of professionals attending, because of its location.
no.
If SOMA Labs joins the roster, I’m definitely going.
