What does a Synthesizer cost?
A lot of people said it: I said it some time ago, and just the other day, my buddy @scatterfilter said it: Cheap tabletop synths are fun. #Boutique — scatterfilter (@napadude) July 24, 2016 It’s a good time to be buying a (new) synthesizer.

There is no such thing as a perfect synthesizer – I already explained why this is at length, and this statement doesn’t add with a restricting “in my opinion”.
But without much further ado: the best synth in the world is the Waldorf Q.

In part 2 of this series on synth envelopes, we’ll look at some case studies – actual implementations of synth envelopes, to align them with the theory from part 1. Instrumentation, Test Cases, and Devices under Test I tried to make the instrumentation as simple as possible: I’ll be using patches that have a (white) […]

This time, we’re having three contemporary analogue synths – although that’s not exactly true, as one of our competitors, the DSI Tetra, has just been discontinued. The two opponents are Waldorf’s Pulse 2, and Arturia’s MiniBrute. The three competitors Arturia’s MiniBrute has […]
