I’ll be mentioning other aspects of synthesizers in this article, but they all pale in comparison to its sound. And, in due time, your ears will become more refined and eventually start to notice this stuff, at which point it’ll probably be time for a new axe anyway (ME WANT GEAR!!!!! FEED ME GEAR!!!!!!)Ībove all else, sound is king. Besides, trying to purchase a synth according to features that you anticipate you’ll need in the future is like buying size 13 shoes for a toddler. So in your world, if you can’t hear it, it doesn’t matter. And each little tweak you make is motivated by what you hear.
Well wipe away your tears because YOU are going to be the one programming this synth. And you may hear people talk about how important these aspects are, which will make you feel the need to choose the right one, which then might make you feel dirty and shameful for not being able to hear the difference. Or different types of filters (Ladder, Curtis, Steiner Parker…). Along with the obvious differences between synths, there are relatively subtle differences as well. It’s easy to get caught up in feature lists and hype, but just remember, at the end of the day it’s the actual sound that matters, not the price.Ģ. Whether it’s free, $200, or $3000, if you like the way it sounds, then you’ve chosen the right tool for the job. If a synth is giving you the sounds you want, it doesn’t matter how much you paid for it. So I’m gonna help you boil it all down by telling you what does and doesn’t matter. There are soooooooo many synths nowadays. Since this seemed to be a perfect subject for an article in the Rookies series, we contacted Joe to see if he would allow us to republish it in SoundBytes Magazine. Joe wrote a piece for his website called “Picking the Right Synth”.
