Analog synthesizers use analog circuits to generate and shape sound. They are popular for powerful basses, present lead sounds, lively sequences, effects and classic electronic tones. With direct access to oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs and modulation options, they are suitable for musicians, producers and sound designers who want to shape sounds directly on the instrument. In this category, you will find instruments for different workflows: from compact desktop synthesizers and keyboard models to instruments for live setups, studio productions and experimental sound design. Depending on the model, monophonic or polyphonic sound generation, sequencers, arpeggiators, MIDI, USB, CV/Gate or patch options may be available. The video “SYNTHESIZER BASICS 1 – How does a synthesizer actually work?” explains the basic functions and sound-building blocks of a synthesizer in an accessible way.
Analog synthesizers are often chosen when a direct, organic and dynamic sound is needed. Bass sounds benefit from powerful oscillators and filters, leads sit well in the mix, and sequences can be shaped into rhythmic patterns using an arpeggiator, step sequencer or external control. Powerful basses for electronic music, live setups and productions with direct access to filters and envelopes. Present solo sounds, melodies and hooklines with characterful analog sound shaping. Rhythmic patterns with arpeggiator, step sequencer or external MIDI and CV/Gate control. Creative sound shaping with oscillators, filters, LFOs, modulation and patch options. A major advantage of many instruments is their hands-on control. Knobs, faders and switches make sound changes directly audible and tangible. This makes analog synthesizers suitable not only for electronic music, techno, house, ambient, synthwave or pop, but also for live performance, film music, effects and experimental productions. Analog synthesizers are available in different formats. Keyboard models can be played directly and are especially suitable for classic performance setups. Desktop synthesizers save space and are often controlled via MIDI keyboard, sequencer or DAW. Compact synths and mini synthesizers are interesting for mobile setups, small studios or getting started with analog sound generation. When buying an analog synthesizer, the first question is how the instrument will be used. A monophonic synthesizer is often enough for basslines and leads, while chords and pads require polyphonic sound generation. If you want to play without additional gear, look for an integrated keyboard; for an existing studio setup, a desktop model may be the better choice. Connections and control options are also important. MIDI and USB make it easier to connect to a DAW, sequencer or master keyboard. CV/Gate is especially useful if the synthesizer is to be combined with modular or semi-modular systems. An integrated sequencer or arpeggiator helps develop basslines, patterns and rhythmic ideas directly on the instrument. Analog synthesizers are part of the wider synthesizer range at MUSIC STORE. If you are looking for other forms of sound generation, you will find suitable product groups for different setups and workflows here. Versatile sound generation, presets and modern sounds for flexible productions. Hands-on sound shaping with oscillators, filters, envelopes and a characterful tone. Fixed signal paths combined with patching options for creative modulation. Sound generators without keyboards for setups with MIDI keyboard, sequencer or DAW. Compact instruments for small studios, mobile ideas and an easy entry point. Virtual instruments for sound design, arrangement and production directly in the DAW. The range includes analog synthesizers and related instruments from well-known manufacturers such as Roland, ARP, Arturia, Behringer, Dreadbox, Elektron, Erica Synths, Korg, Moog, Novation, Oberheim, Sequential, Vermona, Waldorf and other brands. The selection ranges from compact entry-level instruments to professional synths for stage, studio and creative productions. Depending on the manufacturer, control concept, filter character, oscillator structure, modulation options, memory functions and integration into modern setups can differ. This makes it easier to choose an analog synthesizer that fits your style, workflow and existing studio or live environment.
