I really like Captain Pikant style.
Simple, good graphics, straightforward and very educational.

Enough with the synthfluencers. Iād prefer whoeverās the visionary behind each kit, warts and all, to just show up before the camera. My favourite Chase Bliss videos are the ones where Joelās just telling us about whatever pedal heās just released. The Thermae one is my favourite.

Paolo from SynthMania (one of the OG synth sites)
Mostly because I love his hilariously sarcastic response to gear questions which was approximately āforget buying gear, LEARN TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENTā
"Hello, Iām Paolo form Synthmania. Today Iām going to tell you why you should buy an Octatrack.
Actually, you shouldnāt. We made ItaloDisco on ancient Roland samplers back in the '80s and you should too. Also, take some music lessons. Ciao!"
Elektron: āFIRED!ā
Second choice: Florian from Bad Gear. Dude has a strong meme game and can create GAS for the worst gear out of thin air.

iām with this approach also.
one company that comes to mind is Akai.
they have a tendency to make āhow toā video series when a new product is released.
also organized in a playlist which i can appreciate.
elektron on the other hand sort of does that but loosely.
in a way it was a how-to but also performance oriented.
so yeah, would be cool if elektron did a more thorough; video manual focused videos to go along with their marketing ones.
for me they are easier to understand/learn (visual + manual, obviously) than just a forum thread, marketing or rtfm.
happy & knowledgeable customer = returning customer.

Electron must sell electronic devices. And these are also often bought by groups of people who care about diversity and sustainability, for example. So, Elektron will likely choose a female influencer and/or someone with a diverse cultural background to appeal to current and future customers.
But, they may also have a sense of humour and hire someone like John Wayne, Sylvester Stallone, Celine Dion, or: ā¦

Any/all of the Elektron staff, seriously; they could do this anonymously and LoFi-AF for all i care and just show the insights as the best prepared people to do so, anything else is a compromise

The Undulations youtube channel dude - he wouldnāt post junk until he knew it inside out and even then heād probably post some insight nobody else considered - zero hype guaranteed
-
for a straight up no frills creative tour around the interesting sound design potential in a variety of styles @colectivo_triangular - if he canāt coax something sonically interesting out of a piece of gear it might be one to avoid
-
WGAF. I donāt. The only thing iād hope for is for the boundaries of the sound design potential to be explored to give a good picture of possibilities
-
RDGAF ā¦ not sure why thereās so much interest around this aspect of the gear, itās way removed from the creative process ā¦ personalities and hype are implicitly bs - i canāt imagine any artists i admire having or caring about these āconcernsā

Each to their own, but thereās gotta be more fun in using your gear than caring about who promotes it ā¦

@cupfungus ā¦ because Glaswegian and you vicariously get to live within a truly messy studio space the owner isnāt bothered by for a while

Nobody, because [ 1. ]

Let Elektron decide ā¦ move along !

Even though some synth manufacturers now outsource most of their promotional / instructive / introduction content to synthfluencers, I think Elektron should remain doing it in-house for certain purposes, especially the āIām here to announce our new ___________ā
