With Great Power, etc…
Lately I’ve started to consider the power consumption of synths. Of the vintage or old synths I have, many have quite a power-hungry hunger for power. The Oberheim Matrix 1000 rack units I have each contain quite a hefty toroidal transformer, and when all three are on, must add up to quite a current demand. Similar with all the other old gear. Some of the old gear was able to run on batteries (202, 303, 606 and many more) but a lot are more demanding.
Now, modern electronic synths can and generally do exhibit a far lower current draw, although this is not a universal, simply a potential indicator. A bunch of Volcas for example might not require too much power even when there’s a whole tableful of them.
Of course, possibly the most power-efficient synths of all are those running on iOS / iPadOS and this is I think something we can be proud of using and should actively promote.
