OMFG it's like the KZread Rewind of all the gear channels I sub to. Very surreal viewing experience.
suggestion for next year: before you announce the winners, it would be nice to see a name and photo of the nominees on screen.
This is really great to see so many people collaborating. I've watched other types of genres/channels where they're competing against eaxh other views vs just celebrating creativity.
Be sure to check out my friends. I am sure there is one or two you haven't seen before!

DFAM was all i bought this year, after 30+yrs of synthesizer acquisitions, it's all i had room for... - superb video Bo, and all the best to you and yours, - have a good one -
I really love how friendly and collaborative this video is! Great, positive vibes!
Everyone in this vid is awesome. Hell yeah! Dawless Jammin’, Cuckoo, and BoBeats are my all-time faves. These are the days, my friends
Thanks for making this. Loved to see all working together! Have some wonderful holidays everyone! 🎄⛄️
Bo! This is SUCH a great video! I love the format, the editing, and especially the guest appearances! It's great to include popular youtuber's opinions alongside the public votes. And watching the guests is like a demo reel of great synth youtubers, all in the same place. It really does make the whole community more cohesive and vibrant and speaks to the fact that behind all the youtube followers, you guys are all friends (assuming :) )

Happy to see the MoogOne in there with all of Moog's dedicated work on this landmark synth. It has been 33 years since an 8 voice poly Moog, now we have finally a cutting edge technology poly Moog!!!!!!
Awesome and highly entertaining video. Absolutely love the synth / music production scene on KZread. Please keep up the good job for 2019 Bo!
Best Video 2018 goes to .........BoBeats!
What an awesome video. Gonna take a second look at some of the winners (...and the DFAM).
I'm amazed with so many artists / youtuber's who provide so much information to those who are starting / starting to make music like me. Thank you! I'm living for another 6 months in Washington DC and I really wanted to learn how to use drum machines and synthesizers to make music. Does anybody know how to tell me a teacher? the videos have helped me a lot but I need to make the options available that the technology offers nowadays. Thank you very much! meanwhile, I'm inspiring myself with you...
Really enjoyed the video Bo. It was cool to see some KZread or‘s that I have never seen before look forward to seeing what’s coming up for this year and who you’ll be able to get enter deuce The next Best of
Break the internet! Awesome collaboration by all you guys! Please make this an annual thing, as it is so cool to see :)

I came back to ear that extract of Mylar Melodies rocking the DFAM and say that i want more
So many iconic youtubers in one video
My top synths by my weird category system thingy Retro Style Analog Synth: Moog Grandmother Fresh Style Analog Synth: Behringer Neutron Digitial Synth: Waldorf Quantum Kickstarter Synth: Modal Skulpt Drum Machine: Arturia Drumbrute Impact Those are mine. Oh and P.S. The Moog Grandmother Midi Controller thing was so funny is because I see that happening in like 30 years when a kid finds it at Goodwill and does a review.
Love seeing all these youtube channels on here. Much respect.
This was a great video and had all my favorite synth reviewers / producers included (only missing "look mum no computer") Need more of this and so happy to see the Digitone win a category!

You will definitely wish to have a polyphonic synth that can play at least 8 notes or more simultaneously for those deep ambient evolving textures.
Such a great video! Can wait for next years!!
If only all award shows were this enjoyable. Great work everyone!
I wonder which percent of Moog One voters has, I won't say owned, but at least touched it.
This video just put together some of my favourite KZreadrs ever, long live the KZread Synthsphere
Some interesting choices and some great contributions from the guests. Obviously MylarMelodies is right about the DFAM...problem is - which category should it go in? I had a play on it (with Mylar there at the time!) at Synthfest and it really is amazing. Need one now!
Loved it so much i thought my head would explode thank you thank you thank you ... love the format :)
The noise in the background when you were outside was side chained to your voice lmao.
Seasons greetings Bo! This seemed really accurate! A lot of work to do this show here! I think software of the year in ios has to go to nanostudio2 , six years in development? And update of the year BM3 :) Novation mkIII is one of the coolest products of the year no doubt.
Bloody awesome video guys!!! Great work, very entertaining and so cool to see some of my favourite KZreadrs all working together. Some top gear mentioned too. Novation's SLmk3 is a clear winner in my book, along with Grandmother as top midi controller hehehe. That made me laugh. One glaring admission as mentioned below, I think 2018 will be remembered for the year that Synthstrom Audible's Deluge became widely recognised as being a modern classic piece of kit. Other than that some great new gear to get looking up and adding to my set up. Thanks to everyone for all of your advice and shared knowledge over the years. Without a doubt you have added incredibly to my overall enjoyment of the music making process. A hobby, passion very dear to my heart. Cheers and good health and hopefully as others have mentioned this becomes a regular show :)

Thanks mate!! Reason why Deluge was not in the video is because it is not from 2018. We tried our best to stick to gear from ”this year” in terms of votes and picks. But it was possible to vote for it in the best update category.

Awesome video bo!!!
Great video! After watching so many synths I just want to buy Jeremy’s awesome t-shirt cause that’s the best thing I saw this year. Catspeed You! Red Emperor 😸
The whole Moog midi controller thing made me Criiiinnnnggggeeee. I almost lost it.
Hell yeah, OP-Z earned every bit of that best spot. It's my favorite new piece of gear I've gotten in at least the last year, probably longer.
awesome video Bo thank you!
I can only hope the Moog grandmother gets best synth of 2018 but simplicity and elegance have been overlooked by the bells and whistles folks I think. Built like a tank and my go to synth period now next to the modulor 114. Peace Christo
Oh wow I love the slide bar thingy! Continuu Mini !!

drum machine - yup both impact and tr8s are excellent options
Super entertaining, humorous, flowing, and excellent editing by BoBeats. I love how this small community comes together, the attitude, and spirit that truly does something spectacular. You guys are motivating and I love the energy by all the fantastic creators found in this video and comments. So much to do. So much to catch up on. Very interesting picks and outcome. Yet another great video by BoBeats and others alike. Talk about a Christmas OVERLOAD! Oh yeah, to bad we couldn't get umm..Carl Micheal's Cabinet of Curiosities (I probably butchered that)to put a clip in on this. He has a great sense of humor to as well. I wonder what his pick would have been in say like a category of Hardware synths or whatever? Elektron perhaps? Was he one of the people you tried to call? Just curious,lol! Thanks Bo! Cheers! Very Respectfully TenMill
Bob eats, and drinks, and talks, and plays, and films, and posts.... Bob is a busy dude
Moog One and Moog Grandmother hands down!!!! I have both and they are impeccable and delightful!!!
entertaining, happy X-mas to all.
This was very good Bo :)
Great great video Bo! 👏🏻 And definitely Novation the big winner, they are rocking !
I think circuit version 1.8 should have unison mode for the oscillators. And maybe an arpeggiator too?
Oh boi, what a great video but I've never seen your channel! Subbed
Love it. Bo bringing these communities together. 👏🏾
KZread Rewind, take notes.
Great job!
Thank´s for you channel Bo!!!!!!! wow this videeo is like a dream come true!!! I follow almost all the other channels and it´s good to see the connections!!! for 2019 you have to invite Hainback maybe and Amulets!!! wow!!! Salut Namaste !!!

Excellent! I just recently discovered your channel and I LOVE IT! Keep doing what you're doing. It's awesome! Just jumping in here as I see there's a lot of opinions and personal preferences with synthesizers. I in the market for my first synth. Been mainly looking at analog monosynths but am open to polysynths too. My main focus would be to create all the sounds (drums, percussion, bass, leads, etc.) with just the synth to create the tracks. I guess it would be the truest form of synthpop (maybe?). To give you an idea of what I'm considering (and price point) I've looked long and hard at the following: Korg Arp Odyssey (might have to buy the sequencer with that one as it doesn't have one built in), Arturia Minibrute 2, and the Moog GrandMother. Any other ideas you'd have that would fit what my goals musically and my budget would be appreciated. I have been at the helm of my computer for days, spending hours reading and watching reviews. It's been difficult to narrow it down this far. I just want to be mindful of the money I'm spending, the character of the synth and if I can get to my musical goals. Thank you!

Cool video. Did not even know that ozone product existed!
The behringer neutron firmware update 2 is crazy. It adds velocity, aftertouch and modwheel control.
This video is AWESOME!
