The Shit Synth Actually ‘The Sh*t’, Or Just Another Crappy Virtual Instrument?
The Crow Hill Company has introduced The Shit Synth, described as a “compendium of 48 circuit, – wave and sample-bent instruments.”
The concept behind The Shit Synth is that a lot of musicians have used knackered instruments to create interesting music – and a lot of interesting music makes used of ‘knackered sounds’. This includes music from groups like Radiohead, Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada and Throbbing Gristle.
So – instead of taking the clean sounds of modern plugin synths and trying to make them sound knackered, The Shit Synth is designed to actually directly give you the wonky sounds of shit gear.
They say that the virtual instrument offers “a cohesive approach to making your music more lo-fi, retro, edgy and AI-slop-free.”

The Shit Synth is available now for $39 USD.
