perunamuusi Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 i was gonna say dsi mopho.... they're about 2 or 300 quid i think monophonic though Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/52575-good-budget-synth-options/#findComment-1216203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berk Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 analogue: mfb synth (lite) II is pretty cheap, maybe not in dollars though yeah roland alpha junos are good and cheap (if you want one without a keyboard get the Roland MKS-50) siel dk80 VA: I owned a novation Xiosynth which was pretty nice (mind that it has no MIDI IN connection, it only receives MIDI IN through USB) Korg MS2000 something (I think this one is pretty hands-on control-wise) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Berk's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/52575-good-budget-synth-options/#findComment-1216207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandi_B Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 do you mean wavetable synthesis? or variable waveform mod? If you don't have many synths, or this is your only one, you're likely not going to want the monophonic mopho or evolver (the latter having wavetables). Oberheim matrix 1000 is under your price range, and is a poly analog, but no wavetables, and you'd pretty much have to edit it from a computer. Alesis Ion is a good one. They are quite cheap on the used market now, but likely closer to 500.

Guest blicero Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 i'm looking for a pretty simple analog (or virtual) synthesizer for creating analoggy lead, bass, etc... sounds. i have enough soft synth options to do all the complex poly wavetable stuff. but i'd like a cheap synth toy to mangle oscillators and generally fuck about with to come up with inspiring sounds.

If you want to fuck around and come up with inspiring sounds, it's at that sweet spot between simplicity and complexity that makes for fun exploring. Yeah I love my Mopho too, but bare in mind peeps you do need it hooked up to a pc (with midi, not USB) to patch/sequence it realistically - and with a semi decent midi interface too, my cheapass USB - midi interface couldn't hack it. But once u have some patches sorted it is sweet without PC. Sound is fantastic imo. I am tempted to get a tetra too but maybe I will just multi track and save for a different sound character. ps: that pug is awesome, more pug and mopho videos plz Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Food's signature Hide all signatures https://soundcloud.com/ov-mountains Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/52575-good-budget-synth-options/#findComment-1221650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
