RYAN’S GO-TO GEAR

Prophet Rev2

“I’m still using this synth a lot for my main synth work to create drones, heavy detuned eruptions, ARPs and some different textures.”

Elektron Analog Heat MKII

“I like to build layers of different tones and always have synths running through this for subtle warmth.”

Modular system

“I tend to use modular for weird, chaotic and detuned synth sounds, from analogue to more shimmery digital FM works. Favourites are Batumi and Zadar by Xaoc, for complex envelopes to map to VCA or filters, and the Endorphin Furthrrrr generator for rich analogue oscillations.”

UAD Ampex

“For degrading sounds on Overflow.”

FabFilter Pro-Q 3

“For problem-solving.”

Soundtoys EchoBoy

“Mainly for darker or thin background delay to help create texture and mood.”

Valhalla Plate

“My favourite reverb for synths. I’m a big plate reverb fan.”

Unfiltered Audio BYOME

“A powerful but easy to use plugin for creating custom granular/filter/ distortion chains.”

Cecilia5

“An old, fairly unknown standalone software for a bit of sound manipulation.”
