Thanks for having me!!!
Killed it!!!
You ticked all the boxes, sir.
Tickled all the foxes!
@AudioPilz, you really nailed the melody there, another box ticked ;)
Nice vocals. ❤
Nice to hear everyone's varied thoughts and approaches.
It’s that time of the year!! Thanks so much for inviting me again to this event my friend! What a great 2023 it was indeed❤️ lots of love to fellow Yt creators, the engineers and creatives behind the machines we love and mostly, to the synth/groovebox community and viewers❤️ see you soon!
♥️ synthbros4life
I mean for you it IS summer of synths, it was a natural mistake!
Thank you so much for this, Bo and Alex. For a tiny outfit like us, this means the world - especially since it’s our first offering. We've got other exciting things in the works. Stay tuned.
Cheers to a great year and a great video! Thanks for having me Bo!
Always greating having you Gabe!!
Are you out of Sacramento Gabe ?
Much love for featuring me this year Bo! Honoured to be here alongside all these other amazing creators and this great community ❤
Thanks for having me on the show!
Love that the Woovebox found it's tiny size, by a one person developer, on to the big stage! Props to the small operations that provide big things!
Getting the popcorn out 🍿 thanks for having me Bo!
Beautiful segment! Good job!
Nice one, a good mindset to have (one that I definitely don't 😅😂)
Honorable mention to Freebeat! He has been a real pioneer of the Woovebox and (I think) working behind the scenes with its creator. 😎
Sure he was the one to introduce it. The creator sent it to him first and the rest is (making) history 😊
Hey, aside from the products, etc. It's nice to see collaborative vids like these, where you're exposing your audience to other video makers. I think sharing an audience can only help lift everyone. Good mindset, as opposed to seeing these folks as competitors.
When Bad Gear started to sing without warning I lost it. Great content, thanks.
Thanks Bo for having meeee! Now on to making more woovebox content. See you all at superbooth next year!? 😬
Thanks so much for inviting me to take part in this video this year, Bo! This video just gives me good vibes all over.
Glad to have you!! Hope you have a good end of the year
Fantastic! Love the Bad Gear song! =)
Delighted to be involved in this years award show! Thanks for putting all this together :D
Thanks for being a part of it all!!
Glad you made it on! I knew exactly who I wanted to recommend when I saw bo's call for viewer recommendations. Your videos are such a vibe and your channel quickly became one of my favorites of the past few years when I discovered it. Happy holidays! 🎹😎🎹
So pleased the woovebox got the award and recognition it deserves
Thanks for having me on this year Bo, happy holidays to everyone! Now go nerd out and enjoy making some tunes y’all! ✌️
Keep on making that borsjtj!
I loved the fake caw in the background.
@@jamesbond339 I’m so glad someone noticed. The birds were also fake and were created using my Korg MS-20 💀
@@BoBeats I did actually make a delicious one after filming that video 😅
Great video, thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for having me Bo! Will watch the full vid asap :) All the best to everyone!
Thanks Bo for having me it was fun!!!
Great having you!!
🤜🤛
Roberto says thanks too @@BoBeats
Nice video.
2024 would be nice to have a showing from FreeBeat. Dedicated to his community, active and engaging.
what a gueslist! a true holiday special here
Very enjoyable show and round up of 2023 and good to see so many creators in one place sharing their thoughts on their favourite gear 🙏☮️☮️☮️
Florian killed it for me 😂
Definitely have to set up the Bad Gear intro as a ring tone, too!
Sorry I didn’t get mine in on time. This is really well done and reminds me that the synth crew are a good lot. Here’s to you all. Egg nogs all round
There is always next year!! ♥️
Got the S-1 a few days ago as my first synth. It is so much fun and the sound is fantastic. Got it used for only a 100 bucks too.
Thats a good price!
Thanks for having me 🖤
I want the Osmose so bad, it's so fascinating as a piece of music tech. Badass all around
miles away killed it and what a cute cat
Bo, this has to be one of the most informative and fun videos I have seen this year. And to have you reach out to others in your industry makes me admire you even more. You are an inspiration. Thank you.
Thank you ♥️
Super video! Loved seeing Midlife synthesist and Bad Gear among others. Florian was ticking all the boxes with that song! Also thank you for knocking Teenage Engineering down a peg for the quality issues. Hopefully they make some improvements in quality!
The Woovebox is awesome ❤
Unfortunately, it's currently out of stock; I'm curious as to the price too - because it's out of stock, their website doesn't show the price.
@@videotrexx I'm pretty sure it was $250
@@vertigev thanks for the reply.
Mylar is so awesome
also he wins the Seal Egg award this year 2023
THANKS FOR MAKING IT FEEL LIKE A COMMUNITY. This video included so many of my favorite creators and was such a great reminder that we're all better off with a lot of different voices and their approaches to music. Hurray to BoBeats for being a good ringleader.
YES to Blush Response
The pick by Gaz the Playfader looks awesome and they even offer a full vacation retreat package too in Mallorca!!!
Absolutely here for the NitroTracker shoutout!!!
Fun Christmas special, nice work everyone!
Hey deluge won an award! I have made a few videos showing the updates if anyone wants to see them in detail on my channel!
You should definitely check Rons Deluge videos, they are great
Thanks Bo! Now I really start getting in a christmas mood....Great show! Also a big thanks to all the guests. You are simply amazing!
Florian giving us a preview of his new channel:
Bad Songs
drinking a lot of water 🤣 the GAS for the Osmose is steep.
Fun fact: Eliana used to make patches for Liven devices, and suddenly be like - “let’s focus on sample selection”. Super glad to see Nitro tracker mentioned! =) Thanks for holiday vibes, new names and the gear show itself ! This year i spent making MFOS and other DIY projects, and i must say this is good GAS therapy.
The S-1 is really fun, I agree ;-)
Very cool!!!! Adding so many guests makes this so much more interesting besides the gear itself
You always have such lovely sweaters
We were waiting for this video!
Thank you for this video Bo, I really find it very useful and interesting every year. I hope I can be a part of it next year. Best regards and happy Christmas holidays to the community.
Nice to see the community on display. Thanks for organizing this Bob... erhm Bo.
Congrats Woovebox!!
What a powerhouse of a video. Great work Bob & everyone else involved!
Awesome awards and breakdown!
Thanks Bo! - I am also now determined to take my Moog 25 on stage this coming year - something I have been wanting to do - use it all the time for recording it is a great synth
Extremely well done. Thank you Bo and friends!
I would love to see Bad Snacks or JAde Wii or Neon Vines or Rachel K Collier in a future one of these shows representing a more diverse demographic.
Definitely inviting them again next year. Bad snacks, Jade and Rachel have received invites multiple times but unfortunately not had time to join in.
Love this! Bring all the synth youtube hard working, fabulous faces together! That you all for the content in 2023!
Great show Bo! Ho, ho, ho!!!
Rockin 💗💢💖👌
Awesome video!
Groovebox guy here recently learning about DIY synth / groovebox / midi controller prototyping and it's so funny that just 3 days after learning about Zynthian v5, and only a couple weeks after learning about Floyd's channel, both are featured in this year's awards!
Was a great year for things and I hope Woovebox will get an Aesthetic Face-lift / Different-screen Edition that would make me a little less nervous to pack it in luggage for a flight and/or use it at an airport hahaha
Awesome! God jul :)
God Jul!
Very entertaining. Thanks to all who participated in this video. ❤
This is such a great channel, pleased I just found it !
Thanks for great summary of the year. What I really would like to see is the faces of Roland representatives receiving an award directly from Florian aka Bad Gear :)
This is my favorite holiday tradition.
AudioPillz in a league of his own
He did knock it out of the park!
Brilliant video dude. You do such a great job with you videos and I love that you included all these other great creators ❤
Thank you for watching
So much work and love in this video. ❤
Thanks a lot for this great and really entertaining video ❤
Great video. I've been a big fan of the Stylophone Beat this year too. Huge thanks to @ElianaDAngelo for the Nitro Tracker segment! Not heard of this before and can't wait to try it out!
Gotta love how Mylarmelodies very deliberately pronounces them "seal eggs" rather than "sea legs" :)
The Nintendo DS thing was cool! Also shoutout to the Korg app on the Switch, it's a crazy value if you already own a switch
thanks, king. nitrotracker go hard
Love these
Wow! Im amazed how many people were involved in this. Thank you for making this happen! "2- Minute Warning" would be a nice inclusion. :)
is that a channel? =)
@@BoBeats yes! Lots of synths in 2 minutes
Gonna check it out
Great video Bo!
I absolutely love my 3d WAVE... and next fw update will bring Prophet VS waves too
I love synth tube.
I’ve learned so much from all of you guys.
Woohoo happy GearYear. I think TEATRO would be a cool guest. He has well thought-out gear reviews
Gotta bring Free Beat on next year!
The video is really nicely designed. The cut reminds me partly of the Apple presentation videos. Happy holidays and a happy new year. Greetings from vienna (Austria)
Far-out
Thank you for the reviews.
Happy New Year everyone
My synth of the year is the Hydrasynth Explorer... Just WOW.
Its amazing! Best value small form factor synth for sure
I haven't bought any new gear in 2023, although I came close to buying the teenage engineering ko II, but then decided to wait until after the filter gate.
I absolutely agree about the Taiga! Super happy with mine :3
This video is extremely tasty, funny and good looking!
i really love this show!
Didn’t drink enough GAS immunizer 😅🤞🏻
Stay hydrated dude! 🥛
Love these 🎉🎉
lol great to see Decima in person haha
Awesome video Bo!
Next year, invite All my friends are synths aka Stephen McLeod.
Good call 👍
The night rider looks so amazing... Didn't know this one, thank you!!
Best gear of the year for me personally is the MiniFreak. It's the second HW synth I've bought. The first one was MicroFreak, which I sold. I don't have any strong attachments to a mono-sounding gear, if it is not a guitar pedal. I barely used Micro for several days total in 2 years I owed it. But Mini - oh, just add some chorus and reverb, some random drift to the keys and you're done. Couple of hours of tweaking, will get you several days of ear-kandy.
Great year for gear, BoBeats.
I prepared before pressing play and poured myself a nice big glass of gasimunizer
I actually only got older hardware synths this year, namely a Korg MS-20 mini and Minilogue XD, but is liking the Cherry Audio PS-3300 (which is fitting considering how Korg dominant my hardware setup is 😂) along with the super recent and unexpected Moog Mariana.
A new synth I am considering is the Bastl Kastle ARP.
Great video. I'm doing my research before dropping cash on my first synth. The Minilogue XD seems right for me, but was wondering if there are others that would make me reconsider in a somewhat similar price range?
For some reason the Minifreak interface doesn't appeal to me quite as much.
XD is a solid first synth
