Looking for inspiration? Embrace the strange with these five odd balls, the weirdest synths on the market today. While there’s something to be said for a solid, dependable, and all-around synthesizer like a Roland FANTOM or Sequential Prophet-5, there may come the time when you need something a little… weirder. You know, those days when the usual bread-and-butter patches just won’t cut it. You need to get out of your comfort zone. You need to embrace the uncanny. That’s why today we’re celebrating the strange with five of the weirdest synths on the market now. By weird, we don’t necessarily mean in terms of interface (although we do have that represented). Weird can also mean in terms of sound, synthesis, or even overall approach. Basically any synthesizer that goes about things in its own, unique way...

In recent years Native Instruments has pivoted away from designing larger controllers for its popular and established Traktor DJ software. While the more expensive S-series models remain available, the newer Z1 and the X1 are far smaller and more portable. Nonetheless, the X1 on test here retains plenty of functionality. Native Instruments describes it as ‘modular’, designed to mix and match with other units to create systems that best suit your needs. Presumably, further modules are planned for future release...

The material for Carl Cox‘s 2022 album Electronic Generations was written in 90 minutes, with the help of some trusty hardware and a Pioneer DJ V10 mixer. During the Covid pandemic – a time in which he was unable to tour – Cox revisited the live electronic setups he experimented with in the early days of his career. He collated his arsenal – including a Moog Labyrinth and DFAM, and a Roland TR-8S drum machine – routed them through a V10, a mixer which can record individual channels as stems rather than outputting a stereo feed, and into Ableton...
