Help me decide what synth to buy [SOLVED]

fuuuck now I want an ms20

Fingers crossed I'm getting a deal on a MS20m 

I bought the MS-20.

Also, this isn't my first synth. I just needed something new to play with ;)

Only one choice, really: 

I recently just got an MS20m, not had a good play with it but it pretty whacked out the envelope behavior is weird.

In what way? The envelope section is the only thing i dont find weird.

Depends on the stuff, for the most part I've had a lot more problems with new stuff than with vintage stuff in the same price range but I haven't really gone back rather than maybe '85.

Getting the envelope to control the filter is just weird

I'm really not sure how to help here. You patch one of the envs normal or inverse via cable, then tune up the integration knob and it does what it does then.

Weirdly the MS20 is not a synth I have ever played on one, but surely the bottom EG2/Ext knob under each filter is the filter env amount? Or do you need to patch it to use?

Yes, EG2 is patched by default on these.

Long and the short of it is, buy an MS20

I've just been notified that it's on its way. I'm probably gonna be bummed out when I first try it lol.

whoops, i assumed you were after a first synth, this question is usually asked by first time buyers.

if it's not your first just buy whatever you like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The stuff is so lush!

what is the appeal of vintage analog, apart from the physical feel of it? I've heard people complain about new analog synths sounding "digital".. is it just some fantasy idea that an analog synth will by default produce warbly out of tune BoC sounds or something?

at risk of using meaningless descriptors it does seem like analog stuff sounds fuller and more present out of the box. you can get there with digital, but it takes more time and effort.

Have you ever tried vintage analogue?

yeah some analog things but being able to make your music and not have to pay for maintenance is a big deal. I'm not denying that they sound great.
