Syntakt: A Year in Review - Is it a Game Changer or Just Hype?
As a long time user (since its been out) of the Syntakt I wanted to provide an in-depth review on one of my favorite pieces of gear. In this video, we'll explore what the Syntakt is, its features, advantages, and drawbacks. We'll also dive into my personal experiences and opinions after using it for a year, ultimately addressing the question: Is the Syntakt worth your investment?
All the music except for the intro segment (00:07 - 00:58) was made by myself using the Syntakt. All the sounds are raw from the box and there has been no post processing added.
As usual I spent wayyyy tooo much time editing and working on this video so if you enjoyed please give a thumbs up and subscribe :) Also yes I'm aware I wasn't looking at camera at times, this is my first real on cam video I've created :)
