A utility tool by Heritage Audio serving creativity
The SYNTH BUDDY is among the essential studio tools designed by Heritage Audio to streamline your workflow. Its philosophy is simple: eliminate any friction between inspiration and recording by making your sources immediately available, with no menus or patch reconfiguration.
Who is it for, and what for?
Ideal for keyboardists, producers, and sound designers juggling multiple synths, modules, or players. Whether live or in the studio, it centralizes your line-level instrument inputs to select the right source on the fly. Conversely, it can be used as a 1-to-10 switch to quickly route a guitar or bass to multiple amps or effect chains.
Time-saving features
Reversible and immediate routing
Need to compare two machines, alternate between ten stereo sources, or send the same input to different destinations? The SYNTH BUDDY adapts instantly thanks to its reversible inputs/outputs.
Guaranteed sonic transparency
Its fully passive architecture preserves the integrity of line-level signals, with no added coloration and no noise from power supply. Plug in, select, create.
Distraction-free ergonomics
Selection is made via a single front-panel control: turn, switch source, keep playing. No screen, no menus-just efficiency.
