⚡Studio Open Day⚡ We're opening our doors for a FREE Studio Open Day next Saturday June 18 from 11am-5pm! Come explore the MESS collection and get your hands on an iconic synth or two (or more!). All are welcome and under 18s can also attend with a parent or guardian.

Donations enable us to continue to grow our globally unique org and maintain the incredible MESS Collection as a resource available for everyone to use. All donations made to MESS by June 30th 2022 will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10k!  mess.foundation/donate

⚡ If you donate to MESS before end of day tomorrow, your donation will be DOUBLED! Until June 30th 2022, every dollar donated up to $10k will be matched, thus potentially providing us with $20k! That means $20 = $40! $50 = $100! $100 = $200! >>> mess.foundation/donate

The RMI Harmonic Synthesizer is now available to book at MESS! ​Monophonic with two oscillators, two sets of 16 harmonic drawbars, and a range of effects, it's capable of everything from complex drones to rippling arpeggios.

The Warldorf Iridium has been getting a lot of attention since it arrived at MESS! With Wavetable, FM and granular options, plus multi-kernal analog style oscillators it can handle just about anything, and drives like a dream. You know when things just feel right?
