Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Lennar Digital Sylenth1. Is this ancient virtual analog synth plugin similarly influential as hardware classics like the Yamaha DX7 or Korg M1. Can it hold up when compared to other software instruments like Serum, Massive or Spire?

@FileFox707I was there in the 90s and if I judged it from what was in vogue then I would’ve never gotten into synths.

[@raistaparta]

@FileFox707 no parties like that where I lived. But that’s not the synths of the 90s. That’s the rejected 80s technology that kids got on the cheap and made cool stuff with. Synths in the 90s were black slabs of presets. DX7 (that thing lasted well into the decade…), SY55, Proteus and M1… lots of M1. And no one programmed them. It was boooring! Not a Minimoog in sight.

[@urphakeandgey6308]

This was a great video, but it feels a bit weird to me to see a retrospective review of a piece of software that's still for sale (and apparently still getting updated). I think I'd be more interested to hear about discontinued synths like Steinberg's Neon, rgc audio's Triangle, or the old Linplug stuff, if you can get them to work. Even older software like Band in a Box or Dance Ejay might be better for memes and lolz though.

Sylenth1 is an amazing virtual analog synth and was the first VST i ever bought! While being obviously completely virtual, it somehow has that analog feel to the sound. You dont use it for the features, but for the way it sounds. I dont even understand how can a virtual synth sound so different compared to others. You'd think waveforms are waveforms when digital.

ah, sylenth, the swedish knife of soft synths. the greatness of this synth lies not only on the sound, which, apart from punctual caveats is fantastic, but on the extremely intuitive layout. programming anything on it is a breeze and it’s this well thought out positioning of parameters what made it such a powerful workforce for many of us producers. i, for one, still use multiple sylenths on everything i do.
