NAMM 2026: Molten Music Technology Drops the Gear Gauntlet

January 2026, and Molten Music Technology is back with a synth-stuffed, sarcasm-laced round-up of NAMM, Buchla & Friends, and a heap of gear that’ll make your wallet sweat. Robin Vincent’s no-nonsense style slices through the marketing fluff, spotlighting everything from Korg’s filter-happy interfaces to Behringer’s vaporware and Bastl’s modular mischief. If you want the real dirt on what’s hot, what’s weird, and what’s just plain unnecessary in the synth world, this is your rave bunker briefing. Spoiler: not everything gets a gold star, but you’ll want to watch the video for the full sonic mayhem.
