Reverb has published its annual round-up of best-selling gear – and a certain Swedish synth brand has been dethroned.

After five strong years at the top of Reverb’s Best-Selling Electronic Gear list, Teenage Engineering’s OP-1 is no longer Reverb’s best-selling piece of electronic gear. And the renowned synth and workstation has taken quite a tumble down in favour this year, dropping from #1 four places to a still-respectable fifth place.

Rather than another synth taking the OP-1’s place, Elektron’s drum machine and sampler, the Elektron Digitakt, stole the crown.

The Elektron Digitakt’s success could be due to the release of the Elektron Digitakt II earlier this year – a marvellous upgrade on the original that MusicTech awarded 9/10. The Digitone II synthesiser also hit the market, so Elektron has arguably been one of the hottest brands of 2024.

The Ableton Push 2 Controller secured the #2 spot, with Roland’s SP-404MkII creative sampler and effector coming in at #3.

Reverb has also shared its annual list of best-selling brands. Roland secured the top spot, with Korg being awarded silver for its #2 spot. Yamaha scores a respectable bronze at #3.

The company also revealed the best selling eurorack modules, with Make Noise Maths module selling the most units this year. ALM/Busy Circuits’ ALM017 Pamela’s New Workout master clock and modulator was the second best selling module, and Make Noise placed yet again at #3 with its 0-Coast.
