I want knobs to twiddle... there does seem to be quite a lot of menus and not many knobs to control parameters with.
Novation Bass station is an analogue synth that can be found quite cheap these days.
Someone's going to explain now that it's not really analogue as it uses a digitally-controlled analogue oscillator, but what can I say? - I like the Microkorg.
Then there's this new Korg thingie coming out for the cheapest ever properly analog synth. It's monophonic ie only one note at a time where a Juno is polyphonic lots of notes at a time.
but yeah ask Edward
Do people have a fave synthesiser? One which can be bought still?
That little Monotron has the same filter as the MS-10/20 which is really nice.
i dunno benjy. it's kind of skirted around but it's an "analogue modelling synth" as opposed to "analogue synth" .
i i have a very lowly matrix 1000 but i've written these patches for a novation controller so you can tweak its patches. matrix + novation = probably less than 300.
.
Actually, please tell me a bit more about this combo. Is it easy to set up? Do you mean that I could use the novation's knobs to tweak patches on the matrix 1000 away from the computer? Not really sure how this works!
I think most of the Roland Junos have digitally controlled oscillators, don't they? Weren't they the first digital/analogue hybrid synths?
