Synthplex^® Friends are Electric!

Interpersonal relationships are the primary reason for Synthplex^® to exist and our Synthplex™ friends are electric! Here on the west coast, we have arguably the world’s largest community of synthesizer enthusiasts when you combine the music business element, the movie business element and the gaming industry elements of sound/ music creation… and we all look forward to the time when we all get to meet up, hang-out, check out the latest gear & software, listen to great electronic synthesizer based music, see some amazing classic vintage synthesizers in the Pop-Up Synth Museum, and we get to learn new things about synthesis! Synthplex^® is the place where our synthesizer community gathers together once a year, and the place where you are sure to meet new people and reconnect with your longtime synth friends. Synthplex^® has already become the new hot spot where likeminded synth people come together… for the love of All-Things-Synthesizer.

We Welcome Everyone

At Synthplex^® we will not discriminate against anyone. We will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of our events or operations… We love everyone the same! We strive to create a unified & loving community of synthesizer fans, who are all working together and are kind and tolerant.

Hands-on Experiences

There will be many opportunities at Synthplex^® to get hands-on with a lot of synthesizer gear and much more. In the exhibit halls you will discover new products and you will get to dive deep into these products and experience them for yourself. All weekend long there will be equipment vendors giving demonstrations, and there will be daily DIY synthesizer building workshops (modular and other formats) going on in the morning and the afternoon.

Furthermore, Synthplex^® has an extremely special Pop-Up Synth Museum, where you can experience firsthand many rare and valuable synthesizers with the guidance of museum docents. You don’t just get to listen and see these instruments, you actually get to tweak some knobs and play them! Note: Admission into the Pop-UP Synth Museum is a separate pass from the Synth Expo pass, as all profits from the Pop-Up Synth Museum will benefit the Bob Moog Foundation. Each year we will feature a new recipient for this donation.

Networking

Synthplex^® is all about networking. You’ll meet countless people who will inspire you and give you encouragement. Synthplex^® will have several music industry associations and their staff present to help you with understanding why joining their association will be beneficial to your success. We will also have professors and faculty members from various music education institutions, to help you cultivate your creativity and expand your knowledge of synthesis. This is the place where you can learn about getting your music out to the masses.
