Want a Synthesizer? Go Ahead, Take One.
One Tuesday a month, a small crowd packs into Tim Cox’s studio in the Brooklyn Navy Yard to commune with synthesizers. In one corner, a 20-something visitor plugs candy-colored cables into a complicated rig that pushes a wall of noise out of nearby speakers. Nearby, a middle-aged player in a Mets cap twirls and flicks the 100-plus knobs and switches of a 40-pound instrument called the GRP A4, which is the size of a large air-conditioner.
