This is a wonderful overview of synths, Doug. There have been so many new apps this year that it’s tough to decide which ones to buy…or even to remember which ones we already have 🤣 Thanks!

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thanks David, I too can never remember all the synths that come out in a particular year, so I thought it was a good idea to ask the Patrons

[@analogmatthew]

Super rad video! Thanks Doug and you beautiful Patreon members!

[@Piktor201]

Great video Doug! I love Buttersynth and StringLab. Hilda is very special but I like it though.

[@gbcraw]

Gosh, your Patreon members are brilliant! ;)

[@iamYork_]

Agree for sure... Hilda i feel is the most unique, Buttersynth is a rabbit hole waiting to happen anytime i open it definitely closest to to Arturia Pigments for iOS and Thump One was a very pleasant surprise in my book when I picked it up... Stringlab and Pianoteq are the two I currently dont have access too...

[@Elwaves2925]

Great video Doug. There's been many this year, it can't have been easy to narrow it down to 10, even with us patrons involved. My picks were all recent ones because I also couldn't recall what released early in the year. You are not alone with that. StringLab probably wins overall for me but KOD and Buttersynth are close by.

[@dazeja]

Mariana, literally save me money from buying the Minotaur. I’ve never had a bass vst to cut through the mix so well.

[@nosense280]

Great! It was fun to make a list, clearly another good iOS synth year!

[@thebreathalyzer]

Nice to see Hilda, KOD, and the string synth made the list. There’s so many virtual analog plugins, those are pretty unique. I liked Dagger and Butter too…the pluck sounds of the string one are great!

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

What do you like about dagger

[@thebreathalyzer]

@@TwinCitiesOxygen I think it sounds good, also it has a nice interface for live performance.

[@user-vq1sz3ur6s]

hi, just a question, what is your ios setup that we see? it looks like you have an overarching program (the one behind the synth window) that you use to switch between apps? how does that work exactly? pardon. my noob question

[@kid.forever]

He's using a DAW called Cubasis 3 in this video to demo the synths. It's an audio/midi sequencer that can host effects and sound generators, among other things. It's akin to Logic Pro, GarageBand, etc.

[@domdib55]

Hilda is also awesome as an effect! And the playable ‘touch pads’ make it cool for performance

[@CaraWeston]

I need to log into Patreon more, but I definitely approve of these picks!

[@SonicVibe]

have all but the piano one

[@TeddyLeppard]

I liked the sounds I was able to get out of Buttersynth but it was just too unreliable, crashing and so forth.

[@Fear2Stop]

Buttersynth honestly is the one synth I owned that gave me almost immediate buyer’s remorse. Besides the general glitchiness, it just wasn’t much fun to use

[@false-set]

​@@Fear2StopI feel like it has a ton of potential, not super intuitive but when you tweak everything just right, it sound really good before it crashes.
