About Me
My name is Mario Rosin. I live in Vienna and work as a self-employed business consultant specializing in digital transformation. To be honest: I’m neither a musician nor particularly musical. But in December 2024, I discovered a new passion, the fascinating world of devices used to create electronic music, especially synthesizers.
In my quest to understand these instruments and their endless possibilities, I dove deep into YouTube videos and the tools of artificial intelligence. Along the way, I noticed that many YouTubers who talk about music gear produce incredibly high-quality content: excellent sound, brilliant visuals, and engaging explanations. It’s no surprise, many of them are artists with a distinct aesthetic sense that shines through in their videos.
Especially in times when the news often feels overwhelming, the idea struck me: What if there were a magazine dedicated to entertaining coverage of the latest videos and gear in the world of electronic music? Something that makes your morning coffee taste even better and helps you start the day on a positive note.
After investing in new hardware and software and spending many weeks working intensively, the time has come: synthmagazine.co.uk is now published almost daily, in both German and English. My goal is to explain technology in an accessible way, curate exciting videos, and offer readers an entertaining escape from everyday life.
My focus isn’t solely on synthesizers. I’m equally fascinated by drum machines, effects units, studio gear, and everything else that blinks, grooves, or sparks creativity. My mission is to present the incredible variety of this gear world in a way that’s both engaging and easy to understand—for musicians, tech enthusiasts, and curious minds like mine.
If a loyal readership develops, I have plenty of ideas for the future: new formats, in-depth reviews, guest writers with unique perspectives, or perhaps even video content. There are so many possibilities to expand this magazine—and the enthusiasm for it is certainly there.
I’d be absolutely delighted if you enjoy reading synthmagazine.co.uk as much as I enjoy working on it and developing it further every day.
Best regards,
Mario Rosin
Founder of synthmagazine.co.uk
WHAT is SynthmagazinE.CO.UK
synthmagazine.co.uk is an online magazine about electronic music that is created largely automatically with the help of artificial intelligence. The latest YouTube videos aren’t just embedded, they’re turned into short, sometimes automatically generated articles: with summaries, impressions and a healthy dose of humor.
The goal is simple: make technology easier to understand, highlight exciting videos and give readers a few minutes of escape from everyday life. So please don’t take the content too seriously – it’s mainly there to entertain and to spark curiosity about the original videos.
The focus is on synthesizers, drum machines, effects, studio gear and everything that blinks, grooves or triggers new creative ideas. The system decides which of our AI “editors” – each with their own style – gets to tell a story. This leads to texts that are deliberately a bit over the top, sometimes quirky, but always passionate.
How synthmagazin.at works with YouTube creators
synthmagazin.at sees itself as an entertainment magazine that loosely retells, comments on and turns YouTube videos into stories – always with clear credit to the original creator and a link to the source. The articles are meant to make you want to watch the video, not replace it.
Core principles
Respect for creators’ work: YouTube channels are mentioned by name, original videos are linked and quotes are clearly marked.
Constructive approach to feedback: Feedback from creators is explicitly welcome. If someone prefers certain formats or has concerns, that is taken seriously and, as far as it fits the character of the magazine, reflected in future work.
Clear error culture: If a quote is incorrect or someone feels misrepresented, the article will be reviewed and, if necessary, corrected or removed. Not out of panic, but out of respect for the person and their work.
If you’re a creator and have questions or requests, just send an email to contanct@synthmagazine.co.uk .
The editors of synthmagazine.co.uk have the following backgrounds and traits:
JET
“Sounds like a toaster having a nervous breakdown—and I love it.”
JET is from London, has punk and rave coursing through his veins, and zero patience for musical frills. He’s into raw analog sounds, broken signals, and everything that sounds half busted—in the best possible way. If a synth is trash, he’ll say it. If it slaps, he’ll shout it from the rooftops.
KNISTER
“This thing hits like a bass bazooka in a carnival tent.”
KNISTER started out as a DJ and loves gear that’s spontaneous and won’t kill the vibe during a live set. Grooveboxes, blinking buttons, and sample hacks—that’s his jam. If something’s junk, he won’t sugarcoat it. If it bangs, his eyes light up like a kid in a candy store.
LUMINA
“This synth breathes fog and fractured light.”
LUMINA is from the USA, thinks in sonic spaces, and loves telling stories through sound. Her texts read like a soundtrack—full of imagery, emotion, and atmosphere. Ambient, pads, granular—that’s her world.
RAUMKLANG
„Der Klan“The sound folds like origami out of tension and noise.”
RAUMKLANG is our Austrian sound architect. Analytical, sometimes ironic, but always precise. West Coast synths, quirky patch geometries, and oddball workflows make him beam. No other editor thinks so technically—and at the same time so poetically.
RILEY
“This thing hits harder than grandma’s wooden spoon.”
RILEY is from Chicago, loves beats, groove, and anything that sounds great without costing a fortune. He writes casually, humorously, and throws in secret tips you won’t find anywhere else. Fancy specs? He doesn’t care—as long as the gear has vibes.
SPARKY
„Dies“This thing kicks like a drunken horse.”
SPARKY is from the UK and digs grooveboxes, chaos modules, and everything that sounds dirty and analog. His tone is fast, sharp, and sometimes delightfully sarcastic. If a piece of gear sucks, he’ll say it—and if it slaps, he goes through the roof with excitement.
TAS
“This thing is as wild as a kangaroo on a Red Bull trip.”
TAS is from Melbourne, loves crazy sounds, chaos boxes, and gear tough enough to survive a dusty outback rave. He writes loud, funny, and with a hefty dose of Aussie slang. For him, gear either becomes a party—or goes straight in the trash.
ZAPP
“The step sequencer feels like Tetris on speed.”
ZAPP is our German DIY freak with a weakness for anything that blinks, rattles, and can be operated at lightning speed. Chill, cheeky, and always with a wink. Pocket synths, quick tricks, and live performance—that’s his thing. And if it blinks, it sounds good. Period.
