Top 5 Synths I Acquired in 2024 (And Why I Love Them)

[@MetaverseAdventures]

All quality synths here, but you have to appreciate that Claudio could make even a Casio SA-47 sound as good as any of these as it is the musician and not the instrument.

[@gregorygant4242]

Sure the instruments, hardware help but ultimately it's the musician's creativity , inspiration even in the face of hardship or despair that creates timeless music we all enjoy and never forget.

[@Nick-zq6tx]

To be fair Dr Mix could get a good tune out of my bike pump.😃

[@infn8loopmusic]

This is absolutely true. Claudio is a legend!

[@RayyMusik]

Same with Matt Johnson. Don‘t buy a synth just because it sounds good under these guys‘ hands. Test if it sounds good under yours!

[@andreasoberg2021]

What a performance. I don't want the synths, I want a copy of Dr Mix!

[@ktreier]

TEO-5 is my favorite purchase of the year. I initially bought a UB-Xa and returned it 48 hours later and ordered the TEO-5, zero regrets.

[@Sicolirics]

5:39 ese sonido del TEO 5 es simplemente expectacular, no se ha inventado un sintetizador que le haga sombra al TEO, yo en 55 años que tengo no lo he escuchado nunca

[@kohchang2007]

You crack me up Claudio.. I'm a guitar player but subscribe to you primarily for you're energy and humor. I always keep a couple keyboards in the house as well and really enjoy you're channel.

[@markaprill6501]

I play the keyboard but I watch guitar channels. It’s the same subject..music.

[@joelalexander4513]

Claudio, I took up synth piano because of your catalog and goofy energy. I wanna play like Doctor Mix, man!

[@infn8loopmusic]

Relatable! I play guitar and keyboards (increasingly the past few years) Dr Mix influenced me to become primarily a synth and keys player now. And MAN how I lust for that Rhodes. 🤤 Some day... But for now the Yamaha Reface CP will do nicely. 😁

[@leocorete4473]

Doctor Mix, you are the beast of it. the synths are only instruments! Thanks for the video! Happy Holidays! ❤

[@stephaneharck]

Your improvisations are incredible : you're really a good musician 🌟

[@InXLsisDeo]

I would even venture to say, he is a really good musician :D

[@dom.o]

I agree with you musician man

[@1881Gordon]

Well what can I say? This is Doctor (Re)Mix at his studio best... Building awesome track layers for fun... The combination of synths and skilful artist performance is an essential watch for budding keyboardists. Great show Claudio!

In the late 80's, my cousin and I were very much into synths (he had a poly-6 and I had a S10 sampler + a TR-505 drum machine), and we were thinking "the coolest thing would be to be able to make a vibrato on the keyboard the same way it is done on a guitar or a violin, by jiggling the keys left and right". But as teenagers, we didn't had a clue how to get that done and patent the idea. But probably thousands of people had the same idea at the same time around the world... Anyway it's great to see that it has been donne a few decades later😊

[@jong5306]

Best wishes of the season to you and your crew Claudio. Thanks for all the great videos and insights you brought us this year. Long may it continue!

[@galastar257]

What a great bunch of synths, tunes and performances. Fantastic.

[@Lfunk1983]

Man the Polybrute and Muse were insanely beautiful! Good lawdy

[@TerrysQuest]

you are such an awesome musician you make those synths come alive, and sound badass at the same time. This amayeur sits in the presence of greatness. Thank you.

[@Hanner_Tenry]

19:50 Vangelis Blade Runner hip-hop! Great tones and patch here!

[@stormstereo]

I was looking for a comment like this. Turns out I'm not the only one getting that CS-80 scent from it.

[@KBizzy]

Yep that Moog sounds amazing and very CS-80-ish.

[@chuckanderson8144]

The Mix Dr. really stepped up the bar on every demostrati0n in this video. You could expand each track and make an EP for your patrons

[@DoctorOscillatorMusic]

Such an awesome collection!!!!!

[@peterGraumüller-x4f]

I love Dr Mix...he is always nice and in the mix❤❤

[@peterGraumüller-x4f]

Thank you so much for the heart rated comment doctor mix

[@transpermeance1535]

Love that you actually can use synths for music and your playing of the Osmose demonstrates why it is next gen for keyboards especially wrt immediacy and real time nature. The Polybrute still seems to be a press and wait synth even though it need not be because it is analog .Maybe it is using midi to feed its internal engines so the keyboard scan, debounce and serial nature of midi with its random 1-20ms latency may be causing this characteristic. You can tell by how fast the player tends to play and the length of the improvised phrasing. Press and wait synths can only inspire you to play short phrases until you decide to wait like talking on your cell phone with a random echo.

[@valleyken]

- Awesome jamming. If I had to pick 1, it would be that mighty Muse !

[@TheMachinesWon]

Great synths and even better jams!

[@0dium.]

so , all of them need the Rhodes to shine 😉

[@1881Gordon]

😂😂😂

[@xavierklaine6894]

so true !! the rohdes suddenly sounds like the king lion

[@christianmoya5268]

Is that what he's using for piano under all of them?

[@infn8loopmusic]

​​​It's the Rhodes Mark 8 🔥🔥🔥 they are around ten grand USD 💎💰 ​@@christianmoya5268 Dr Mix videos about it are awesome. he was invited to Rhodes and did some videos about it, super informative and fun.

[@atjazzman]

That jamming is intense! :D

[@wallygator57190]

Your skills are astonishing!

[@zealousie]

This is the funnest demo video I've ever seen.

[@DoriKei]

You are the most expensive and valuable synthesizer over all. Happy oncoming year. "NeeEEEeeext!"

[@jpaul2559]

MOOG is the BEST yessssssssss lol Thanks Claudio have a good year. L O V

[@johnhamers4571]

The Big Boy starts instantly to hang the Funky freak out with super expressive leads. Cool ✌🏼💯

[@djdksf1]

Great stuff! As a fellow Osmose + Muse owner, I appreciated that you too are now doing the finger waggle on non-waggly keys. It's' a hard habit to break.

[@TSM-y42XD]

Heavy jams from the man!

[@horizontalblanking]

Right out the gate with a very Zawinul vibe on the Osmose… I’m here for it!

[@downpatmusic]

Favorites: The MPE keyboard built into the PB12, the Moog Muse sound, your 21st century Rhodes, and your trusty looper for immediate gratification of ideas!

[@royevans4581]

That Polybrute12 shook my sofa. I am listening through MackieCR-X8's with the matching sub. CR8S-X. Lovely.

[@kaostrip]

merci mec de nous offrir des instants ça thanks men

[@guitarsolos89]

Nothing better than listening to Dr Mix noodling around on his favorite synths. :)

[@pinchopaxtonsgreatestminds9591]

I'd love the Expressive E, it's amazing!

[@thejollyjoker187]

Yeah, me too, it's the only synth from the bunch I would like to have, real innovation there.

[@dillipphunbar7924]

Very kewl jams and beautiful instruments. I got the osmose and looper and am so happy.

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

Man the PB12 cream dream baby. Great video

[@Arkay.]

Firstly. Merry Christmas to Dr Mix and the team! Love the channel 😁 But.I have to add..sometimes the rhodes just doesn't belong. In this instance Rhodes + that phat oberheim did not equal audio pleasure. Sorry Claudio, I know you love it. But just cause it's a good stand for most of your Synths, don't mean you always have to add it to the track.😜 Often I wish it was portable enough to be put away like the others 😋

[@DavGreg]

Got my Osmose this year and it is amazing. Was just setting it up as a MIDI controller with some of my soft synths right before watching this video. Lots of soft synths support MPE.

[@Alexilgen3275]

What a Show on Muse!! Thanks.

[@BenODen]

🎉Looping Claudio, I wanted more of this in my life, forever. Great synths, awesome music, thanks for the Pinnacle on a crazy year. (More of that Arturia track please. Oh my god. That is an amazing song. Crap. 18:22 can we please have a jam with Claudio with that Moog track? Such a great jam.)

[@Stephen_Heathcote]

Excellent! The last few videos have been fantastic :) Great to see your studio in full and all the equipment you have. Looking at the Muse myself..... :)

[@Tazzminator]

We want more performance like this !! Bravp !

[@KenGetRight]

You made that moog muse sound good!

[@MrVLORSIRIS]

DIS GUY IS A FRIGGIN' FORCE OF NATURE!!! VERY TALENTED & CHARISMATIC! THANK U! MEAN GREEN MZ

[@stefanorossi219]

Bisogna osservare che Doctor Mix è in grado di fare delle ottime improvvisazioni, di spaziare con facilità tra diversi generi musicali e di dare risalto alle potenzialità creative degli strumenti che utilizza😊It should be noted that Doctor Mix is ​​able to make excellent improvisations, to easily range between different musical genres and to highlight the creative potential of the instruments he uses😊

[@SoundWaveSurfin]

The museum is coming together nicely Claudio!

[@mworld]

The best thing about Music Producer videos: the sound quality is top notch. You can probably only tell that with decent amp/speakers though.

[@imnotfishing]

Doc be workin’ that RC 505 Mk II like a ringleader.

[@SpikesStudio3]

Its a con do it. Con duet. Conduit. Claudio is a legend. 👍👍👍👍

[@ManuelKorrigan]

Superexcellent review..! Arturia had sth special... ! Moog... echoes from another dimension! Well done !! Happy holidays!

[@rubito7845]

Looking forward to the video about the repaired Bontempi 🤓

[@davidrivera9728]

OMG it sounds amazing!!

[@KordTaylor]

Noce choices! TYGA! 👏 I'm really thinking about getting one.

[@novisynth540]

Really looking forward to the Qu-bit videos, have got the Aurora with an eye on Nautilus (and yes, I've hit the bell :D )

[@LaudCranium]

effing great mate! love it. groovy tunes n that.

[@bernyboss]

Ciao Claudio have a great Xmas time!!! 🍾🍾🍾

[@ricardopineda8224]

It is amassing, you could get music from an electric stone!!!!!! Thank you.

[@olesea63]

Great playing, obvious last song like as Vangelis ;)

[@blue_cloud7]

Moog Muse... The best of the best... 🎹🎹🎹

[@raphaelbieri6473]

bro just wants to show of the Expressive E and accidentally produces a absolut banger

[@smooth7689]

Moog and oberheim sound nice

[@b.hornetiii.6771]

Arturia and Moog Muse are beautiful sounding ... TEO 5 is like a synth soldier ready to go to battle. :))

[@fjfrancois]

Man that new look looks great 👍🏻

[@victorvargas49]

Para mi absolutamente numer 1! TEO 5

[@victorvargas49]

Gracias 🎹👍

[@Mopantsu]

Merry xmas and a musical new year!

[@InXLsisDeo]

Damn, that last improv really was something else ! 👊👊👊👊👊👊

[@Fjarskiptagervitungl]

Great vid, top notch jams

[@philhooley158]

The Taiga sounds like a vintage Jen SX1000, which I've owned since I was a kid, that and my Roland SH101 are the only synths I will not sell. Great video as always

[@matthieu4351]

Incroyable !

[@LamanTinTamás]

Perfect list ❤

[@kingsqueak2221]

I love the knobs on the Taiga, they look like an old Kelsey mixing console.

[@DrumNBassed]

Arturia is really doing the Lords work in the hardware space

[@user-JM1967]

I got a Minilogue, by Korg and a Roland Gaya synthesiser ❤

[@DJVasC]

Hi Claudio, great (musical) video. A pleasure to watch! Would it be an idea to make a video about the first-generation VA's (Nord Lead 1, Access Virus A, JP-8000, and AN1x, for instance)? To see/hear how they stand nowadays and tell some about their background. Another idea: a factory tour at Clavia (Nord) or Novation/Focusrite. I think this would be so interesting.

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

Is it not red shirt because of X-mas? Love your knowledge, skill, and enthusiasm!

[@tompoole007]

Your shades wot the fook, they went clear the music was so good Your Arturia is bigger than my JD800! You will have to purchase a Grand French chateaux with a lake and a dungeon now to keep your synth booty in. In the summer folks will visit for a Dr Mix summer sessions festival.... forgive me, it's the sherry innit... lol keep rocking mix boy.

[@kaivrock]

Great video. That Pittsburgh thing is scary.

[@ojmcbaggins]

this is why i love you

[@branislavhribik6257]

Moog Muse and Arturia Polybrute 12 are TOP 😉👍📸 Moog Muse I have. It is perfect synth.

[@grzegorztomasiak]

those intros are always unique :D

[@slimyelow]

I'm gonna steal some of your Moog chords.

[@Notmehimorthem]

Tom is wonderful!!!!

[@julioesalazar3193]

Hello Dr Mix and merry Christmas. Osmose is used by Beck in many songs. Besides Formula One should hire you for the 2025 intro with this Arturia you have on this video.

[@georgesbahia]

Les meilleurs synthes du moment Arturia Oberheim Osmose Moog. Avec un super musicien qui fait monter les ventes à chaque fois que joue sur les machines extraordinaires .muito bom obrigado pela música

[@doobyboy21]

What is the best synth to make early house music or Eurodance ? Oh and Merry Christmas ! 😃

[@mp3magnet]

Korg M1 with an emphasis on early in your question

[@budgetkeyboardist]

If I made a similar video, it'd be the "Top 1 keyboard I bought in the last 4 years." But if I could have one new synth, I'd probably go for the PolyBrute 12. There are more expensive synths, but I think the PolyBrute 12 just seems so damn cool. The Muse might be my second pick.

[@darkalman]

There are several brilliant movie soundtracks waiting to be made with the Osmose

[@DonGregorio]

Impresionantes, Arturia y Expressive, aunque yo con el Oberheim me conformaba..😂😂👏👏

[@robmoerman6086]

Hello Dr MIX`` why always screaming NEEEEEXT and than whit headphones on its zo nice in the ears but have a nice day and happy new year... yoohoo!!!!

[@marcofunk6280]

Every your jam is a travel... min. 3.00 ❤... auguroni Claudio da Roma

[@xavierklaine6894]

oh man, after eating millions of boring videos of germans robots showing sampler, kyboard, etc to understant what i must buy for our next album, its such a trip to watch your video ! ! ! ! ! specialy with shrooms. big hug from paris and michigan

[@bosstmusic]

Sweet!!!

[@gmankeys]

Thanks for the live performance Claudio. Love the improvisational prowess. What piece of gear are you using for the loops?

[@Doctormix]

Boss rc-505

[@muzykjakub]

7:20 nice, I will came back and learn this ;)

[@HorstAlex]

Claudio, you are more a monster than this monster synth ❤

[@Ejrupolsen]

Merry Christmas Claudio 🎄🎄🎶🎶 Whats up width the bare feet’s 😂😂😂

[@RookySteed]

For me : arturia number one🎉❤

[@jayweb702]

So much funk!

[@xxsoundz]

YOU ARE A WONDERFUL MUSICIAN - unfortunately you do not made the type of Music I like....BUT I STILL LOVE YOUR CONTENT AND YOU AS A PERSON!! ;-) But if you find the time, please create some Techno music for us I am 100% sure that this will blow our minds ;-)

[@JorisBokkerink]

Really "Jan Hammer / Miami vice" -ish on the Polybrute at 14:10
