Thanks for having me back on the channel again Bo! 😃 Always fun to be a part of this great community and be with such an awesome group of creators! Hope you enjoy all the tips!

[MidlifeSynthesist]

So honored to be here again with such an amazing cast of fellow creatives❤️ thanks so much Bo for having me and thanks to all watching!
Ps: you’ll find my tip is a simple one, but quite unbreakable😂

Good to see that the Irish summer and Swedish summer are the same. Fun video Bo - thank you for having me on the show!

[MyReasonToPlay]

Definitely one of the best videos in terms of time/guests/quality ratio.

Summer Tip 1: It's too hot outside, I'd better stay inside and play with my synths. Tip 2: It's raining and I'm depressed, gotta buy more synths.

[MichaelHowald]

swapping out the triad tip is so simple it's brilliant.

[steveth]

I love getting a glimpse into people's workflows and techniques. This is the best type of synth content on here.

[dtuned]

I'm jealous of your summer weather! Over here we are cooking. I think I'm done with hot weather for the rest of my life!

Youtube has stopped suggesting Jorb’s videos. Good to see Jorb again.

[ToyKeeper]

This is a really nice video format. I love tips 1, 2, 3, and 7!

[joefilbrun]

What a great video, BoBeats! Great job by you and all of your guests.

[farbklangmaske]

I've been into synths for nearly 40 years, but this video really brings new perspectives. Great stuff!

The future of Summer of Synths

Summer of Synths 2024 is over and a big thank you to all guests and you who watched and supported.

I am not sure if there will be a Summer of Synths in 2025 and if there is it might look a bit different. I have been making videos for close to 10 years now and I am taking a step back to reflect on how I want to move forward with the channel.

I love to collab with friends and helping smaller channels reach a wider audience and potentially sponsors as well. I hope to continue this in 2025 but I am not quite sure what it will look like.

Something I’d love to do is more in-person studio tours, rig walkthroughs, tutorials. Like the one I did with Oora in 2023 or with Accurate Beats this year. This does require more effort on my part: planning, travelling and not least makes it more expensive. But also more fun. So I am looking into how I could fund this and make it work.


As always a big thank you for supporting Summer of Synths & my channel

Midlife Synthesist gave me the best ideas!!

[dlanier]

Absolutely yes for a synth course! Terrific, immediately useful video.

[beaglemusiclabs]

Wow, Bo, I think this is one of my favorite videos of yours! This is just such a fantastic variety of musicians, gear, and musical ideas. Yay for teamwork!! A great cure for a "summer slump" in creativity.

[alitna]

Any great tips! This vide is going into my “learn how to make music” playlist!:)

[Bleeeaaoop]

Definitely need the synthesizer course with oscillator sink, that would be amazing 🎉

[alexgrunde]

Oora’s trick is also a good way to get around modulation limitations of sequencers, like the Syntakt only having one LFO per midi track.

The root power chord over an octaves bass line idea is interesting and playing around with that could yield some interesting results, but it won’t work for every chord. Especially borrowed chords, that could really ugly real fast.
