There are so many choices - from traditional to just plain bizarre - that almost everyone can find a sound they like here. There's even a speech synth engine for when you want to get your robot choir on.
HOW TO USE SYNTHV PLUS
Plus a Karplus-Strong engine, which physically models the bowing or striking of strings. There is also a two-operator FM synth engine and a virtual analog option, both borrowed from the well-regarded Plaits eurorack module. There are basic wave shapes, for clean digital sine or saw tones, and super wave (in which several basic shapes are stacked) for giving you those thick trance-style sounds that are all over songs from the likes of Charli XCX and Sophie. Frankly there are few hardware synths with this many options for sound sources, especially for less than $500. Inside are 13 oscillator types, all with a staggering array of options for shaping their sound. What really makes the MicroFreak so compelling though is its incredible flexibility and variety of sounds.

But first, let me tell you why you should consider the MicroFreak, even if you're skeptical. And I have an alternative suggestion for you, so bear with me. Now, I know there are a bunch of would-be analog purists out there screaming at their computer screen. The best synth for most people: Arturia MicroFreakĬonsidering these requirements, it's honestly pretty easy to recommend a single instrument for the vast majority of people: the Arturia MicroFreak ($349). These sorts of instruments are much better suited as low-cost expansions of an existing setup. So, as interesting as it is, the Volca Modular is out. (As someone who owns and legitimately enjoys Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, you don't have to tell me.) But chances are that you want to make more than just bleeps, bloops and drones. Now, obviously, this is subjective: One person's noise is another's symphony.
Last, it needs to be easy to use and make music with - not just noise. While you could potentially get a bit more synth for a bit less money by ditching it (like with the Behringer Neutron), when you're just starting out, the immediacy of keys will be welcome. I also strongly suggest you stick to something with a keyboard. For one, there's no need to run out and drop upward of $1,000 - $400 is more than enough to get you an excellent instrument that you'll be playing for years to come. If you're ready to make the leap to a physical synth, then let's set some ground rules for your first purchase. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
