THESYS - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

If you’re looking for a way of getting more out of your synths, Thesys may be the way to go. Alex Holmes steps it up.

Synth design, like many things in the electronic music world, is forever changing, with new software and hardware synths bringing new techniques and increasingly complex modulation routings. However, sit a synth pro in front of a 30-year-old Moog and he’ll make it sing. The reason for this is obviously not cutting-edge technology, but programming prowess, which can be broken down into two things: the ability to program a good synth patch and the ability to write a good sequenced pattern.

Score: 9
