Thanks for having me on this year Bo, happy holidays to everyone! Now go nerd out and enjoy making some tunes y’all! ✌️

[@BoBeats]

Keep on making that borsjtj!

[@jamesbond339]

I loved the fake caw in the background.

[@Tiger.Arcade]

@@jamesbond339 I’m so glad someone noticed. The birds were also fake and were created using my Korg MS-20 💀

[@Tiger.Arcade]

@@BoBeats I did actually make a delicious one after filming that video 😅

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for having me on the show!

[@atomicasounds]

Fantastic! Love the Bad Gear song! =)

[@MonotrailTechTalk]

Awesome! Thanks for having me Bo! Will watch the full vid asap :) All the best to everyone!

[@krazywabbit]

Love that the Woovebox found it's tiny size, by a one person developer, on to the big stage! Props to the small operations that provide big things!

[@AABattery]

Thanks Bo for having meeee! Now on to making more woovebox content. See you all at superbooth next year!? 😬

[@Congasjones]

So pleased the woovebox got the award and recognition it deserves

Thanks so much for inviting me to take part in this video this year, Bo! This video just gives me good vibes all over.

[@BoBeats]

Glad to have you!! Hope you have a good end of the year

[@Asmuk]

When Bad Gear started to sing without warning I lost it. Great content, thanks.

[@Radar23]

Love this! Bring all the synth youtube hard working, fabulous faces together! That you all for the content in 2023!

[@ToyotaVangelis]

So much work and love in this video. ❤

[@BoBeats]

Thanks for being a part of it all!!

[@piewars12345]

Glad you made it on! I knew exactly who I wanted to recommend when I saw bo's call for viewer recommendations. Your videos are such a vibe and your channel quickly became one of my favorites of the past few years when I discovered it. Happy holidays! 🎹😎🎹

[@SuperRingoffire1]

Very enjoyable show and round up of 2023 and good to see so many creators in one place sharing their thoughts on their favourite gear 🙏☮️☮️☮️

[@Auldhelm]

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

[@SumDumChum]

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

[@DimitrisPapmusic]

Thank you for this video Bo, I really find it very useful and interesting every year. I hope I can be a part of it next year. Best regards and happy Christmas holidays to the community.

[@hillblocksview]

Honorable mention to Freebeat! He has been a real pioneer of the Woovebox and (I think) working behind the scenes with its creator. 😎

[@AABattery]

Sure he was the one to introduce it. The creator sent it to him first and the rest is (making) history 😊

[@schnoodlevideo]

what a gueslist! a true holiday special here

[@CommunityGuidelines]

Fun Christmas special, nice work everyone!

[@stoilku]

Great video, thanks!

[@DirkFellhauer]

Thanks Bo! Now I really start getting in a christmas mood....Great show! Also a big thanks to all the guests. You are simply amazing!

[@fldrummerman]

Bo, this has to be one of the most informative and fun videos I have seen this year. And to have you reach out to others in your industry makes me admire you even more. You are an inspiration. Thank you.

[@BoBeats]

Thank you ♥️

[@indigosnow_]

I want the Osmose so bad, it's so fascinating as a piece of music tech. Badass all around

[@blush_response]

Thanks for having me 🖤

[@tubeMonger]

Nice to see the community on display. Thanks for organizing this Bob... erhm Bo.

[@andreash3906]

What a powerhouse of a video. Great work Bob & everyone else involved!

[@MCHmuzykaElektroniczna]

Nice video.

[@robrobinson5208]

Extremely well done. Thank you Bo and friends!

[@zurlocker1]

Super video! Loved seeing Midlife synthesist and Bad Gear among others. Florian was ticking all the boxes with that song! Also thank you for knocking Teenage Engineering down a peg for the quality issues. Hopefully they make some improvements in quality!

[@dmcinnis23]

Awesome awards and breakdown!

[@therealclayharper]

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.

[@rodrigolaporte274]

Very cool!!!! Adding so many guests makes this so much more interesting besides the gear itself

[@kalebrosenberg8294]

Got the S-1 a few days ago as my first synth. It is so much fun and the sound is fantastic. Got it used for only a 100 bucks too.

[@BoBeats]

Thats a good price!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

The pick by Gaz the Playfader looks awesome and they even offer a full vacation retreat package too in Mallorca!!!

[@MistyMusicStudio]

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

[@bike.krueger]

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

[@HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES]

Sorry I didn’t get mine in on time. This is really well done and reminds me that the synth crew are a good lot. Here’s to you all. Egg nogs all round

[@BoBeats]

There is always next year!! ♥️

[@FrankPSF]

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

[@patrickpoggensee6333]

Very entertaining. Thanks to all who participated in this video. ❤

[@daneguitarist1]

Mylar is so awesome also he wins the Seal Egg award this year 2023

[@PaulAup62]

Absolutely here for the NitroTracker shoutout!!!

[@leftovernoise]

You always have such lovely sweaters

[@villaribabambule]

Thanks a lot for this great and really entertaining video ❤

[@michelnassar9706]

We were waiting for this video!

[@T-H-X]

The video is really nicely designed. The cut reminds me partly of the Apple presentation videos. Happy holidays and a happy new year. Greetings from vienna (Austria)

[@JoeBleeps]

Great video. I've been a big fan of the Stylophone Beat this year too. Huge thanks to @ElianaDAngelo for the Nitro Tracker segment! Not heard of this before and can't wait to try it out!

[@jesuslovestoastyaya]

Awesome video!

[@channelite]

YES to Blush Response

[@SonicVibe]

miles away killed it and what a cute cat

[@The_artist_called_The_Engineer]

Great video. Hmm makes me think I have way too little gear on the electronic side of the house (5 guitars vs just my mc101). Have my sights set on a woove box or an mc707 for 2024 hmm. I’d love to see a video on possible upgrades from the mc101… Oh and a happy Christmas to you and yours.

[@bjornark]

Awesome! God jul :)

[@BoBeats]

God Jul!

[@vertigev]

The Woovebox is awesome ❤

[@videotrexx]

Unfortunately, it's currently out of stock; I'm curious as to the price too - because it's out of stock, their website doesn't show the price.

[@vertigev]

@@videotrexx I'm pretty sure it was $250

[@videotrexx]

@@vertigev thanks for the reply.

[@RonCavagnaro]

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!

[@BoBeats]

You should definitely check Rons Deluge videos, they are great

[@aseomg]

Florian giving us a preview of his new channel: Bad Songs

[@connorsol]

Groovebox guy here recently learning about DIY synth / groovebox / midi controller prototyping and it's so funny that just 3 days after learning about Zynthian v5, and only a couple weeks after learning about Floyd's channel, both are featured in this year's awards! Was a great year for things and I hope Woovebox will get an Aesthetic Face-lift / Different-screen Edition that would make me a little less nervous to pack it in luggage for a flight and/or use it at an airport hahaha

[@80iesDude45]

The S-1 is really fun, I agree ;-)

[@JamesMyddelton]

This is such a great channel, pleased I just found it !

[@DawlessHouseMusic]

This is my favorite holiday tradition.

[@wickeddubz]

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.

[@paolofanin]

I absolutely love my 3d WAVE... and next fw update will bring Prophet VS waves too

[@tommy.countach]

i really love this show!

[@patrickhowes5833]

Wow! Im amazed how many people were involved in this. Thank you for making this happen! "2- Minute Warning" would be a nice inclusion. :)

[@BoBeats]

is that a channel? =)

[@patrickhowes5833]

@@BoBeats yes! Lots of synths in 2 minutes

[@BoBeats]

Gonna check it out

[@MrMcPeach]

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

[@BoBeats]

Thank you for watching

[@thetrick9]

Thanks for great summary of the year. What I really would like to see is the faces of Roland representatives receiving an award directly from Florian aka Bad Gear :)

[@andonimeneses]

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

[@howlinberry1645]

Great video Bo!

[@StephenTallamyMusic]

I would love to see Bad Snacks or JAde Wii or Neon Vines or Rachel K Collier in a future one of these shows representing a more diverse demographic.

[@BoBeats]

Definitely inviting them again next year. Bad snacks, Jade and Rachel have received invites multiple times but unfortunately not had time to join in.

[@qquinn4719]

Far-out Thank you for the reviews. Happy New Year everyone

[@bobbylimesmusic]

Woohoo happy GearYear. I think TEATRO would be a cool guest. He has well thought-out gear reviews

[@haraldriegler6000]

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

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Hey! It's an original song I wrote just for this video :) thanks for watching, I might end up releasing a KZbin Jams EP since I have been getting a lot of requests

[@haraldriegler6000]

@@MilesAwayOfficial Count me in, I really liked it a lot!

[@1980VINZ]

1:00 "Hello! My name is JORB"........ *I, love, GEAR.* Sorry I couldn't resist.

[@Lainer1]

Great year for gear, BoBeats.

[@cesarsjogren]

Love these

[@carlosmodegahan4455]

This is very helpful, Can you please make a review video of the new Behringer Pro VS Mini, I am a beginner and am considering that one due to its low price!

[@AntonioBonifacio]

My synth of the year is the Hydrasynth Explorer... Just WOW.

[@BoBeats]

Its amazing! Best value small form factor synth for sure

[@electronicbagatelle]

drinking a lot of water 🤣 the GAS for the Osmose is steep.

[@xammai9679]

I love synth tube. I’ve learned so much from all of you guys.

[@MurrayDagostino]

I haven't bought any new gear in 2023, although I came close to buying the teenage engineering ko II, but then decided to wait until after the filter gate.

[@Jorn2u]

AudioPillz in a league of his own

[@BoBeats]

He did knock it out of the park!

[@JJW001]

7:40 I have an old Nintendo DS Lite somewhere in a drawer! I was considering getting a portable tracker for production while traveling but this looks like way better bang for buck. Thanks so much :)

[@thestinkyweasel6297]

Eliana D’Angelo rules

[@lopsidedwombat]

The Nintendo DS thing was cool! Also shoutout to the Korg app on the Switch, it's a crazy value if you already own a switch

[@ElianaDAngelo]

thanks, king. nitrotracker go hard

[@musicwombat74]

Gotta love how Mylarmelodies very deliberately pronounces them "seal eggs" rather than "sea legs" :)
