BEST SYNTHS & MUSIC PRODUCTION GEAR 2023

Loved it. Taiga was such a well deserved choice! Lit af!

Cmon lads , review the MC505 and MC909, what you waiting for ??

Deluge gang rise up

Cool

Maybe I don't understand what wavetable synthesis actually does but I don't really see what makes the flagship winner sound any better than other synths Ive tried. Do more expensive synths produce higher resolution audio or something?
I'm most impressed by the osmose tbh. I hope they release one that is just the controller without their synthesis engine.

Gotta bring Free Beat on next year!

The night rider looks so amazing... Didn't know this one, thank you!!

Great show Bo! Ho, ho, ho!!!

Yes great pick! Which I think game consoles as sytths/plug in as a whole is under rated by music at large which you can get plugins/soundboards for pretty much any console less powerful then a PS2 for DAWs if they are as powerful or more then they are not as limited and instead use normal synths. But yeah I love to use the Gameboy, NES DAW plugins by socalabs for added vocals to my songs.

Thanks a lot for this great and really entertaining video ❤

Can't stand the pretentious voice of MylarMelodies... Just speak normally we're here for the gear not to admire your voice ffs

I’ve definitely been sold on the MercuryX. Ben Jordan helped too. It is sad that was one of his last gear vids. Oh well, there are a plethora of up and comers to fill the void. Nice vid Bo 👍

Best hardware effect is not eventide h90? lol.

2024 would be nice to have a showing from FreeBeat. Dedicated to his community, active and engaging.

Extremely well done. Thank you Bo and friends!

Thanks Bo! - I am also now determined to take my Moog 25 on stage this coming year - something I have been wanting to do - use it all the time for recording it is a great synth

Hi Bo, congratulation for great Show and overview. One category you forgot : best keyboardstand ... is ... Blackpanthersystem 😅 Have a great 2024 🎉

The fact that the KO 2 is on the list at all, shows how far the synth world has fallen

SONICWARE Liven Lofi-12 is a fake product , remember this, you have spoken about it, is your channel simple business ?

plot twist: its software

THANKS FOR MAKING IT FEEL LIKE A COMMUNITY. This video included so many of my favorite creators and was such a great reminder that we're all better off with a lot of different voices and their approaches to music. Hurray to BoBeats for being a good ringleader.

Ok, as a synth nut who spends too much money on gear luckily there is zilch in this year’s award show that I will own. I am not a fan of these mushrooming fiddly toys that produce lossy sound provided you have fingers compatible with micro buttons. Nor will I buy a 5.700 Euro wavetable synth. Unless I want my wife to finally divorce me. Ok, the 3rd wave looks gorgeous though…Kudos to the recommendation to use <2023 gear. And I am digging the fat, non-fiddly boldness of the MPC! Happy holidays!

I actually only got older hardware synths this year, namely a Korg MS-20 mini and Minilogue XD, but is liking the Cherry Audio PS-3300 (which is fitting considering how Korg dominant my hardware setup is 😂) along with the super recent and unexpected Moog Mariana.

A new synth I am considering is the Bastl Kastle ARP.

For flagship Synth, I was hoping for the Maximus mor colossus, but the 3rd wave it more attainable…

Does anyone here know the name of the song that Miles Away is playing on the Osmose? 🙏 Thx!

Awesome! God jul :)

Brilliant video dude. You do such a great job with you videos and I love that you included all these other great creators ❤

40 plus minutes is just to much, thanks and bye!

Nice video.

Hey deluge won an award! I have made a few videos showing the updates if anyone wants to see them in detail on my channel!

Jorb : Bet!

Audiopilzzzz 🥴

So much work and love in this video. ❤

Jorb, bringing the average age of presenters down, but also ten years too old and too self aware to pull off the fetus-speak presented in his segment.

Ah, the unity

Fun fact: Eliana used to make patches for Liven devices, and suddenly be like - “let’s focus on sample selection”. Super glad to see Nitro tracker mentioned! =) Thanks for holiday vibes, new names and the gear show itself ! This year i spent making MFOS and other DIY projects, and i must say this is good GAS therapy.

You should check out the channels: "Wine and Synths" and also "Pete Midi" - both doing good stuff...

Absolutely here for the NitroTracker shoutout!!!

Congrats Woovebox!!

Florian killed it for me 😂
Definitely have to set up the Bad Gear intro as a ring tone, too!

Wouldn’t have dare to put the EP-133 train-wreck. It’s time every synthfluencer help their community out and make some sort of wake-up call to TE.
The botched software, the faulty hardware, the horrendous CS, the « high-end only » profiled customers…everything reeks of toxic at TE right now.
Just my own opinion. Feel free to bash.

Except for this one, great video, as always.

I absolutely agree about the Taiga! Super happy with mine :3

Garbage. An unfinished product should never get any praise.

Been dabling in the ds synth myself lately

I’m so excited to see NitroTracker get mentioned. I’ve been using it for the past six months and debating making a video about it because I find it so cool!

Too many commercials
