Quasimidi

Quasimidi was a German manufacturer of electronic musical instruments, primarily known for its synthesizers, samplers, and MIDI interfaces. The company was founded in 1987 and ceased operations in the early 2000s.

Quasimidi products were characterized by their innovative features, distinctive sound, and often brightly colored designs. They aimed to provide powerful synthesis and sequencing capabilities in relatively affordable and user-friendly packages. Their instruments found favor with both amateur and professional musicians in genres such as techno, trance, and electronica.

Notable products from Quasimidi include:

• Quasar: A digital synthesizer with a focus on dance and electronic music sounds.
• Sirius: A rackmount synthesizer known for its aggressive and distinctive sound.
• Raven: A virtual analog synthesizer with a sequencer and arpeggiator.
• Technox: A groovebox combining synthesis, sampling, and sequencing capabilities.

While the company is no longer active, their instruments remain popular among electronic musicians and collectors due to their unique sonic characteristics and historical significance in the development of electronic music technology. Used Quasimidi instruments are readily available on the second-hand market.
