The Big Synthesizer Scam

"The illusion has become real, and the more real it becomes, the more they want it". - Gordon Gecko Synth manufacturers think you're a sucker. Why sell a synth for $1200 when the guy is willing to pay $5200? This is what the synth manufacturers count on when they set out to sell you their new flagship synth. Same for analog or digital synths. It doesn't matter. As long as the potential customer sees the synth as "High End", the illusion has become real and he will pay up. Same as in the Audio Hi-fi world where Hi-fi Audio manufacturers still suckers people into believing that a speaker cable costing $1000 per meter is better than the lamp wire you get for $1 per meter. Ohm's law doesn't apply to them. They think. Analog synths have usually been associated with a higher cost due to electronics inside, but new "analog" synths are in fact more digital than ever. Discrete components are not what makes up analog synths any more. Now it's all surface mounted chips and software is running the show. To sucker you even more some manufacturers (of "analog synths") have a "Vintage Knob" on their synth. They do this to hide the fact that their so called "analog oscillators" are actually under so much digital control that they start to PHASE. To undo the phasing they have to separate the pitches of the oscillators, hence a "Vintage Knob". If they'd made the oscillators less clinically (truly analog) stable, this wouldn't even be necessary. It would cost more though and their revenue would suffer. They don't want that. They want to be fat and full, on your expense. Why sell a synth for $1200 when a guy is willing to pay $5200? All of the synths in this video are capable of sounding very good. As are the emulations of them in software form. In fact, they've become identical heard in a mix. The question is if you're willing to pay thousands of dollars for hardware? Mabe you are. Maybe the journey is more important than getting there? I can certainly understand that as well. It's why I still keep a small fleet of vintage hardware myself. Not for the sound, but for the nostalgia and tactile experience. If I only wanted the sound I'd go for plugins all day.
