A Beginner-Friendly Synth That Sounds HUGE

The Donner Essential L1 is a brand new analog monosynth that’s already sparking debate. Compact, affordable, and packed with features, it promises classic analog tone with a modern twist. But does it deliver?

In this video, I take a deep dive into the L1’s design, sound engine, sequencer, and that unusual detachable keyboard. You’ll hear it in action across basslines, leads, and sound design experiments, while I highlight the good, the bad, and the noisy.

If you’re looking at buying your first hardware synth, or you’re just curious whether Donner has finally nailed a true analog contender at this price point, this review will give you everything you need to know.
