“Our visit in Montreal was a great success. MOOG is now selling our modules in Canada and we had very positive reactions at the show.” – Joerg, Radikal
[LA event] “Very satisfied, it was a really good turnout, especially on Saturday, I did not bring any products but had a number of requests to buy them.” – Andrew, SSF [London event] “Very good attendance; engaged crowd. Higher than expected knowledge of Eurorack. Excellent location in London’s East End, good promotion, clear communication to exhibitors. Lounge chairs greatly appreciated!” – Joran (Joranalogue) [Portland event] “[It] was a great event. I thought things went well all around. It would have been nice to have a bigger space and some drinks!” – Jeannot, 4ms [Portland event] “I sold really well, and tons of people stopped by. Generally a success, thanks for putting it on!” – Evan (New Systems Instruments) [Portland event] “I was super happy with the way the event turned out! I think for Eurorack in general, just having that many people in the building at once helps as all of our brands are very niche and only really applicable to a certain segment of the crowd at any given time. Everything else seemed to happen without a hitch -we were able to route and share power no problem and though it was a little odd at first, the bar top worked pretty well as a display table!” – Ryan, Acid Rain Technology [LA event] “The quality and quantity of the attendees were good. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of people who already knew about us and our gear. After that, most people who approached us knew something about synthesizers and were prospective customers.” – Aaron, 1010 Music [London event] “I really enjoyed the event! Hard work talking to a constant stream of people, but overall a good atmosphere. A large number of people tried out my module. I had a constant stream, and most of the time we had people waiting to take their turn. Quite a mix of people too, some new to synths as well as synth nerds, which was good. – Adam (Venus Instruments) [Portland event] “I think it went well. The event space was nice and there was good traffic throughout, especially Saturday. I was busy most of the time. Sales were good, I sold more stuff than I did at your LA event!” – Devin (Weston Precision Audio) [Brooklyn event] “I was happy with the overall experience and would do it again. I had a good amount of people expressing interest and playing with the gear. Overall the event was great but with minor tweaks I think it could be much better.” – Eli, Mystic Circuits [Brooklyn event] “Very happy [with the experience], VERY intense [traffic]” – Fabio, Vinicius Elektric [Montreal event] “For this first Sonic Circuits MUTEK event there was a great turnout, was organized well, and the venue was awesome. It’s really great you make the event free, and it was cool you included the Modular Mondays guys and had them perform.” – Keven, Zlob Modular [LA event] “We were extremely happy with everything and want to help make it even bigger next year. Great turnout btw! Customers were friendly. Nothing was stolen from our booth. The people who came were focused- i.e. most of them knew what they were looking at, not like a bunch of random NAMM people asking dumb questions.” – Shawn, Analogue Haven [London event] “I was really pleased with the turnout and enthusiasm for the event. It was interesting combining the guitar crowd too as a lot of them had no prior knowledge of synthesis, especially modular, but seemed really intrigued by it all and keen to have a play. It was the most full-on synth meet I’ve exhibited at so far, it was just a constant rotation of new people coming to see the stall from open to close. Making it headphone only did help keep a decent atmosphere within the room” – Andrew (Blicken Synths) [Brooklyn Event] “Very satisfied. We felt it was a very smooth event and the traffic was great! The traffic for us was non-stop! The #1 value is the hands-on experience for customers, especially with our particular products.” – Jeff (Folktek) [LA event] “The event was very successful, lots of foot traffic the whole way through. Everyone was really enthusiastic about the products and learning about Eurorack synths. It was nice to meet people who were interested in exploring a new type of instrument.” – Alexandra, LA Circuits [Montreal event] “Participating in the Montreal Synth Expo was a great experience for Radikal Technologies. The event was expertly organized and prepared in loving detail. Great choice of location. Loads of friendly visitors actually interested in new Synths and Euroracks! We definitely enjoyed our time meeting new people and making new fans. Even among the exhibitors you could feel a strong sense of community. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! See you there next year.” – Jurgen, Radikal [Portland event] “Overall, I was pleased with the event. […]I thought the traffic was pretty steady all day and the people who attended were enthusiastic. Once the doors opened, I didn’t leave my table all day. Being on the stage could have been bad except attendees had to walk past unto get to Roland…so it worked out well for us!” – Steve, 1010 Music [Brooklyn event] “Our display seemed to catch a lot of eyes. There were tons of people in general, but it was also a good event to have decently long conversations and answer in-depth questions. […] There were people coming by to ask questions almost nonstop on Saturday and for most of Sunday. A lot of people brought their cameras and took photos/posted on social media as well, which always provides a bump in web traffic. – Jack (Setonix Synth) [Montreal event] “Everything went super well for me (and for ModularMondays). Plenty of people in attendance but it never felt cramped or crowded. All of our technical requirements were taken care of and we lacked for nothing at all. Congrats to you for this first in Montréal and I hope to see you again next year!” – Ismail, Modular Mondays [Portland event] “The Portland event was great and I had lots of fun. […] As for the turnout, it was impressive but it seemed like the guitar section was a bit more consistently busy than the Eurorack section… again, to be expected. – Alex, WMD [Portland event] “I had a very good time. Traffic was well regulated and was always comfortable. A good amount of attendees in total. Overall your events have been very well organized – better than most!” – Andrew, SSF [Portland event] “I was very happy overall. Great space, vibe, and people. Traffic was strong and steady. The layout of the booths allowed for a lot of people to co-mingle comfortably. Very well organized and executed.” – Tim (Podular Modcast) [Brooklyn event] “Satisfied, the event was well organized. The traffic for our brand was good, our instruments were practically constantly occupied by someone. Events offer a real-time feedback loop with our (potential) customers and a possibility to offer them a chance to try gear firsthand, as well as explain and present certain things that wouldn’t be possible to emphasize in a video. – Eliza (Erica Synths) [Portland event] “I thought the outcome was very well received on our end, in particular considering that our gear is very different from Eurorack. Saturday was very busy and we had a really great response that day. Sunday was a bit more relaxed.” – Sky (Prism Circuits) [Portland event] “Very happy overall, we had some pretty busy swells, almost always had a few people there even in slower moments, totally manageable though. Beautiful space, lots of engaged locals and brand reps coming to PDX.” – Jason (Control Voltage) [Portland event] “I had a great time at the event, the location was wonderful and the building was a really nice atmosphere! It was great being able to meet all of the different musicians and vendors throughout the weekend. This event really helped get our name out there as a newer/small synth brand!” – Ethan (Krypt Modular) [Portland event] “The facilities were great, the layout of the event was good, and there was a nice selection of other makers. I met a lot of nice people and the overall vibe of the event was very positive. We got a lot of good feedback on our modules and gear. It was a nice hands-on crowd.” – Jack (Setonix Synth) [Toronto event] “I was pleased with the event. It seemed to run smoothly overall. I had a good number of visitors to my table, and they were interested in my products. I passed out just over 100 of my advertising stickers, which seems like a good fraction of the total attendance. The visitors covered a wide range from those who’d never seen a modular synthesizer before at all, up to current Eurorack hobbyists who already had some familiarity with my product line. The headphones-only rule was wise.” – Matthew, North Coast Synthesis [Brooklyn event] “Everything with the event was smooth and straightforward. No issues at all setting up or loading in on unloading. Thanks again, was a fun and unique event. ” – Alex (Vondle)
