Since releasing his namesake Hartmann Neuron synthesizer at the turn of the new millennium, Axel’s notable name is associated with an exclusive circle of innovative synthesizer manufacturers. The Alesis Andromeda, Access Virus Pølar, Moog Voyager, Arturia Origin, no-expense-spared Schmidt Eightvoice Analog Synthesizer, and, more recently, Moog One, UDO SUPER 6, Waldorf Quantum, plus Roland’s latest generation of flagship Fantom workstations, to name but a notable few, make for a highly-impressive list after a highly-impressive start. Waldorf’s Wave was not destined to remain the only synthesizer - super-sized or otherwise - to benefit from Axel’s distinctive design touch. This rightly received the Red Dot Design Award, a German international design prize awarded by Red Dot GmbH & Co. Straight away he made his mark there with the legendary Wave ‘über synth’ - still sought after today. He is responsible for the design and ergonomics of an unparalleled number of notable products that includes some of the most remarkable electronic musical instruments of modern times.Īxel has been an active musician since his early youth, and his enthusiasm for music electronics led him to working with Waldorf upon completing his design studies. Axel Hartmann has been the go-to designer in the music industry for over 30 years.
