The GS Music Bree6 is a 6-voice desktop analog synthesizer from Argentina, officially released on March 1, 2025. It features a fully analog signal path, a user-friendly interface with 27 knobs, modulation options, and built-in effects. Available for $899, it draws comparisons to Roland’s Juno synthesizers, though its minimal features may pose a price concern compared to similar alternatives.
The GS Music Bree6, a 6-voice desktop analog polyphonic synthesizer from Argentina, has officially launched following its announcement at KnobCon 2024. This synthesizer, which was spotted at the Buchla and Friends 2025 event last month, is closely related to the previously released GS Music e7 polysynth. Its official release date is March 1, and the feature set has now been detailed.
Instead of launching a keyboard version, GS Music chose to debut the Bree6 as a desktop unit (dimensions: 18.11” x 7.87” x 5.51”). Although a keyboard version was previewed at KnobCon 2024, no further updates on its release have been provided yet. The Bree6 boasts a fully analog signal path and a user-friendly interface designed to minimize menu diving, featuring 27 knobs and 13 buttons.
The synthesizer hosts a single VCO per voice with sawtooth and pulse waveforms along with a pulse width modulation capability. It also includes a square wave sub-oscillator for added depth. The audio passes through a 4-pole ladder lowpass filter, which enhances the signal with cutoff, resonance, and keyboard tracking controls before being sent into a multi-FX processor.
Among the effects, there is an ensemble-type chorus designed to evoke the sound of strings or vocals, utilizing multiple modulated delay lines. Furthermore, a stereo delay effect with a one-second maximum delay time is included, allowing adjustments for delay time, feedback, and wet/dry mix.
Modulation features on the Bree6 consist of two ADSR envelopes for controlling the filter and VCA, as well as a multi-wave LFO capable of 100Hz, which can target multiple parameters including oscillator modulation and VCA controls. Additional modulation sources encompass velocity, aftertouch, and full MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE). The unit provides 512 memory locations for user-created sounds.
Connectivity on the Bree6 offers a power supply input, USB port for data transfer, full 5-pin MIDI interface (in/out/thru), stereo outputs (L/R) with a mono option, and a headphone output, though it lacks a USB host for connecting MIDI keyboards.
The Bree6’s sound quality has impressed many; however, the feature set is minimal, equipped with just a single oscillator and basic filter options. While it’s being compared to the Roland Juno synthesizers, it does provide additional features like two envelopes and built-in delay. The synthesizer is priced at $999, which may be a barrier given similar offerings from competing brands like Dreadbox.
The Bree6 is now available at $899, plus $100 for shipping, directly from the official store. Manufacturing of the synth is carried out in Argentina.
Looking back, at Knobcon 2024, GS Music presented the Bree6 in both keyboard and desktop formats. While the keyboard version remains unannounced, the positive reception of the desktop unit suggests a strong potential in the market, alongside a hopeful video release from the recent Buchla and Friends event to provide broader insights into its features.
The arrival of the Bree6 marks an exciting addition to the synth landscape, adding to the rising reputation of GS Music as a credible source of high-quality synthesizers developed outside of the traditionally dominant regions in Europe and the USA.
The GS Music Bree6 presents a solid option for those seeking a hands-on analog synthesizer. With its fully analog signal path, user-friendly interface, and connectivity options, it caters to both beginners and enthusiasts. While its price point may be a consideration, the Bree6 offers sufficient features and sound quality to justify its cost in the growing synthesizer market.
