Guest Shining Rock Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 alot of people have made threads recently talking about hardware and i've been doing some research myself, i'm looking to get a physical synth relatively soon, and have been studying brands/kinds/etc and i'm guessing i want one with a set of keys on it, and in the price range of 600 max i would say, if anyone could help out i'd appreicate it!

YEK Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 do you want to sample it or compose whole tracks with it (multi-timbral) that's something you'd have to decide what's your price range do you want something modern (digital) or old (analog) ??

Guest Analogue Wings Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Alesis Ion or Korg MicroKorg If you want analogue, get a Roland Alpha Juno 2 or JX3-P off ebay Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/8686-talk-about-beginning-synth/#findComment-175602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shining Rock Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 i'm looking for something modern (digital) i guess, but with maybe a little analog-ness or old warm quality to it, price range is pretty low, 600 being max, the ion looks cool, but i've also been looking at this new roland sh-201, what are you all's thoughts on it? roland sh-201 Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/8686-talk-about-beginning-synth/#findComment-175603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr. Modular Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Don't buy the SH-201. And the synth doesn't have to be multitimbral, just get lots of them.

Not really. For £600 though you could get loads of stuff - first off A Mixer. Get an old Mackie 1202 or something off Ebay for about £150, get something like a Casio CZ-101 for bass and leads and pads (They're about £35 - £50), get a TR-707 for about £60, a TR-505 for about £20 - £25, some effects (Zoom 1204 or something - about £60), a hard-disk recorder (Fostex DMT-8 or D80 or something - about £100 - £150), and maybe another synth, er....Korg Poly 800 (about £85) or Yamaha SY-35 (about £50 - £50) or Roland D-5 (also about £50) or something. By my reckoning, that's £580. Fucking sorted with that lot. P.S. obviously all that is off Ebay second hand....
