BEST SYNTH TO BUY IN 2024

Thanks for including us on your list! We're honored. We love what we're doing and your support means everything to us!

Thanks man, I haven't watched your channel before but this has to be the most comprehensive synth of the year guide I've ever seen. It looks like you've pretty much got everything covered at every price point. I'll definitely check out more of your channel and at the very least I'll be back next year to check out what's the best of the best. Great job.

Thanks - great to hear your take on all these synths. Sh-4d might be the value buy for me but you introduced me to synths I did not know existed like the Nina. Good stuff.

Great job on this video! Favorite recommendation - Studiologic SLEDGE!! YES!! That thing sounds fantastic, and the FEEL is AMAZING. Thank you so much for that one! Keep up the good work here on your channel. 😀

Wow @vultureculture that is a comprehensive look at all the categories one could be interested in! Great job, and I definitely wasn't so familiar with many of these, so it'll be a good reference for me moving forward this year. Personally, I have the 3rd Wave in my sights, but I need to make room in the studio and budget first!

Excellent run through. Have to say, I love the sound of the Nymphes every time I hear it. Dreadbox seem to be very good at getting grit and character. Tempting. I already have the Take 5, and it always sounds gorgeous. That Nina would also be awesome. It’s got the sound and the power. As far as a good groove box, the Synthstrom Deluge is a monster. Various synth engines, incredible workflow. It also has a sanctioned open source version now which has been adding some crazy features. Everything unlimited, only bound by CPU.

This is an excellent list of a lot of synths work trying. I do not need anymore gear, but it’s time to add a Dreadbox piece to my set up sometime this year.

Just found your page and subscribed right away. I had a D50 for over 25 years until its demise due to a power supply failure. The funny thing is, losing it is what brought me into the modern world of VSTs. I am about to sign up for Roland Cloud and will be picking up your D50 library when I do. I can't wait to see what treasures your video archive has in store for me. :)

Felt soooo good when you gave Korg - Drumlogue high marks in its category !! 🎈 Questioned my comparative analysis chops, yet darn please in early days usage. ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe top of short list now, and pleased with your evaluation ! Such Behringer 'mixed feelings' 🤷🏻‍♂ DeepMind 12 has been superb since early 2023 purchase ..... now so hesitant with UB-Xa. Rad video in first days 2024. 🙏🏻 Happy New Year !

Thanks for the list! 👍🏻 The MiniFreak is already on my short list after using it in V Collection X… that sold it for me right there… seeing it talked about here means it’s being ordered tonight 😂

This is my favorite synth rundown video ever. You covered a lot of ground, and the video had a snappy good pace to it. The best part is that you covered plenty of the synths I’ve had my eye on, which was nice to see all in one place, and there were good surprises. Now I gotta get more work so I can try to get a little something here and there. Thanks, and for me, this was a nicely produced video.

Fascinating watch, thank you! Gotta say that the Terra has been my revelation, using it for industrial and IDM styles, as it has reminded me that so many synths disconnect me from actually listening to the music rather than looking at the interface. Has made me play so differently, more about the tactile guitar expression...helps that it can sound utterly filthy and has some of the best reverb and delay on a synth I’ve heard in some time

New subscriber here, and I have to hand it to you that you are really on point with your suggestions and observations. Great content and I stayed awake through the whole program 😆

You have a really excellent sounding voice for this kind of thing and it's perfectly recorded/produced.

great video, thanks for diving into different brands, I didn't know what I was missing

Nice guide, at the end of the day, choose well what you can afford and what suits your needs and you can't go wrong

My dream synth is still the Iridium (keyboard). It not only sounds from another world, but also looks great and that's an understatement.

What a great overview of the synth landscape. Thanks!

Great video!!!! and I have to agree with all you views shared on your picks. I am glad you shined some light on the Sledge, I felt the same way, about how it's got a very "Iridium-ish" vibe. Again great video and definitely doing a solid service for your fellow artists of all degrees. Just me going on about my Sledge ;) (figure you can read when you have time) Seriously though, I've really gotten a lot of out of the Sledge. As I work with it I have discovered the individual parameter knobs take on different characteristics at extremes; the effects for example, from the surface seem very straight forward and they are when you use them in their normal ranges. Where it goes into 'other' teritory is in the extreme low and high settings. Chorus with a speed of 1 and depth set to what ever you want creates this binaural audio experience. Reverb again same tricks and you get these wide spaces that preserve the dryness of the foreground sounds. The interplay between the Envelope Amount and the Velocity amount completely change the behavior of both envelopes depending on the settings of the two amount knobs in relation to eachother and the identical parameters knob for knob in a ratio sense affecting how much velocity affects one envelope over the other. It's like the more you work with the Sledge you see how this front panel has layers of functionality meant to extend the possibilities beyond what you see on the panel, that when you play it and tweak and just barely move something the feedback is as good as analog and best of all it will behave the same regardless of the room temperature or if venus is rising next time you do it. Then when you consider you can import samples into it really means that one doesn't have to tire of its fare. I am going to be sampling the ulra low oscillators from the K2000 Synth engine using a high resolution sound card and then export it into the format the sledge will like. I am going to sample the Lo-SAW, Lo-SQR blocks to see how they sound on the Sledge. Since thats what I used to do to thicked up my bass sounds on the K2K. I will share it with you once it's done. Hey thank you again man for doing such solid for us. Peace out!

Bro great review! I have heard sound demos on the Nina and it is by far one of the thickest sounding synths on the market! Awesome!😊
