It's already that time of year again-- Musikmesse 2014 has come to a close, Winter NAMM '14 ended in January, so most of this year's synth offerings are out in the open, waiting to be picked apart. While only a handful of new synths have been added to the roster this year, some of these are very significant, and have changed the recommendation order. I'm going to mark the synths that were not announced at the time of last year's guide with NEW, so you will be able to easily distinguish what's new.

As with last year, this guide will be focused on new synthesizers, so don't expect anything that's not currently in production. I've also mainly chosen to focus on analog synthesizers, although there will be a couple recommendations that are not analog in some form.
Special note: I've included Amazon links on the names of all the synths, so if you're interested in buying from Amazon, use that link! Not only will it help support the blog, but you will also find Amazon has sales at times, so you'll find $10~$50 off on some synths. #ad
