Day 1 - Synths

Synths are great for adding some killer basslines to a track, or to create some stirring chord pads to lift a chorus, depending upon what you need, there will be a synth to nail that job!

Shopping Tips:

There are different types of synth – firstly analogue or digital – analogue tend to be mono or duo voiced, digital will tend to be a polysynth, as there can be more oscillators.
Polyphony is important! If you want to play chords, you won’t be able to on a mono synth – make sure you check how many oscillators the synth has – that is how many notes you can play! Options are usually 1,2,4,8 and 16.
Some synths can send CV (Control Voltage) allowing you to send from one synth to another – if you have multiple synths, this is a great tool!
Some synths do very specific jobs, some are more versatile – make sure you check out what the synth is and can do – you want the right tool for the job!
