Come and geek out over synthesizers with me!

Calling all keyboardists, bedroom producers, and lovers of weird sounds! I can stop myself from geeking out over synthesizers. Moog, Sequential, R...

Looking at this ASM Hydrasynth looks amazing 😍

Oooo awesome!! This thing looks rad. What a dope synth. 🙌

I'd not seen Stimming's reviews before but I like their style. Good suggestion, Mannuel!

I'm not very musical, but love listening to synth-created music and learning about the eco-system.

The YouTube algorithm has blessed me with the Expressive E Osmose, which has some cool features.

I'm also loving the Dirtywave M8 Tracker which looks kinda insane but seems to be super powerful - I would love to get my hands on one!

Currently, I'm learning about the Sequential Trigon 6 in this video. 👇 Apparently, this was synth-maker pioneer Dave Smith's last project before passing on.

Gotta give a shout out to the Fairlight CMI, a pioneering digital sampler/synthesizer. Thanks Australia! 🇦🇺

Gotta give props to Hainbach... I love the way in which he digs up weird old electronic equipment and makes beautiful lo-fi, experimental music with it:

Ohhhh heck yes, Douglas!! I'm such a fan of that guy. He's a mad scientist in all the best ways! Gotta love the Furby organ, lol.

Last year, he actually teamed up with Hainbach (whom I shouted out above) and Cuckoo (also amazing!) to create a Youtube synth super group called Uncompressed. Here's their performance!
