French Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 You want a Microfreak. The synth engines sound really good (if a little counterintuitive at times)and there's plenty of them, with regular updates. The touch sensitive keyboard is really nice too, it responds to poly aftertouch. Having said that, I sold mine not too long ago lol to fund an Analog 4. sweepstakes 1 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/100741-if-you-had-to-pick-just-one-budget-synth/page/3/#findComment-2878472 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubularCorporation Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Three years ago when you could find them for under $300 easily I'd say "Akai S-6000" In the under $300 range I'd say "Wavestation SR" now. Under $200, probably the Sonicware Liven XFM. I haven't used it but based on how good the 8bit Warps has been and the fact that it the XFM is polyphonic 4 op FM and should be more flexible because of that, it seems like a really good choice.

Fauxleroid Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 I can totally concur on the Model:Cycles. You can write a complete tune with it. That's the downside of just getting a single synth like a Monologue (which is also a fantastic synth). I have to pack up all my gear in November and its getting shipped across the Atlantic home to the UK. The Cycles will definitely be coming in my luggage so I can have some gear while I'm in limbo.
