Incorporate a few of these units with your modern DAW, such as Ableton Live or Pro Tools, and you’ve got yourself an incredibly powerful music production and sound design toolbox that offers the best of all worlds, analog sound at your fingertips and comprehensive recording and audio editing control in your DAW program. There are also a slew of amazing vintage synths on the market today, for pennies on the dollar of their original price tag, that can be easily folded into your setup with an old school MIDI connection. To name but a few: The modular synth components by Noise Engineering and Erica Synths, the Roland Boutique synthesizers, Korg Volca devices, and the ever expanding line of Behringer models.
We’re in the midst of an incredible resurgence of modular, semi-modular, and desktop synths.
