These are the best-selling synths, drum machines and controllers at Reverb in 2025As 2025 comes to a close, Reverb has revealed its best-selling synths, drum machines, controllers and samplers of the year.
“As musicians, we utilise Reverb’s data, from the Price Guide to our indexes, to make decisions when buying and selling gear – and our best-selling gear lists have become a fun tradition that allows us to see where our favourite synths, pedals and more fit into the grand scheme of things each year,” says Joel Handley, Reverb News Editor-In-Chief.
“By expanding our coverage and digging into our data, we’re giving musicians everywhere the ability to do the same.”
Synths
The Elektron Digitakt reigned supreme in last year’s best-selling synths on Reverb, but in 2025 has been dethroned by the compact and uber-affordable Arturia Microfreak. Elektron retains a degree of real estate on the list, though, as its eight-voice polyphonic synth, the Digitone, comes in second place, while its 12-track drum machine and synth, Syntakt, places in 9th.
Arturia’s MiniFreak bags the bronze slot, while Korg secures itself two places in the middle of the table with its MicroKorg Crystal and Minilogue XD units. Moog’s limited Minimoog Model D developed in partnership with Rush bassist Geddy Lee is a surprise entry on the list; despite boasting a $5k+ price tag, the synth comes in at 7th place.
