The nostalgic wave of synth enthusiasts who shaped the online music tech scene a decade ago seems to be rekindling their passion, and I’m here for it.
Last month I shared that *Retro Synth Ads*, a beloved blog for synth nerds, started posting again after a nearly four-year hiatus.
Their return has been a delight for fans of vintage gear and quirky ads from the golden age of synthesizers. If you haven’t checked it out yet, dive into their treasure trove of retro goodness at
Now, there’s more exciting news: Raul Pena, the mastermind behind *Raul’s World of Synths*, is back in action!
Raul recently uploaded a mix of new and archival videos, including a Q&A where he reflects on how his channel began, the reasons behind his break, and his ambitious plans for future content.
You can catch his latest updates on his YouTube channels
For those unfamiliar, Raul’s work is a goldmine for synth enthusiasts. Through Raul’s World of Synths (active for 14 years) and Modular Wild (running for 12 years), he combines on-site video recordings and photography from synthesizer events to promote awareness and education about music technology. His content dives deep into the innovations of the music and audio industry, making it a valuable resource for musicians, techies, and enthusiasts of all ages.

Raul’s return is especially exciting because of his in-depth video series covering Doepfer and other Eurorack modules from various other manufacturers.
His detailed explorations are perfect for anyone looking to geek out over modular synths.
