Re: The Synth Thread...
Also the transpose button is your friend if samples recording to C doesn't suit you. Can't say enough good stuff about this wee synth

Re: The Synth Thread...
I decided to plug my Roland SH-2000 in for the first time in a few months.
Wooooah. It is in desperate need of repairs. It's barely an instrument at this point.

Bought a Mattel Synsonics drum machine for £12 and it's one of the best sounding bits of 80s tat I've spent money on

God, I wanted one of those so badly after a friend used them in his band.

Looking forward to getting some new sticks to hit it with.

Apparently they have to be nylon, so as not to damage the pads but they shall be black!

Re: The Synth Thread...
My Behringer Model D finally arrived. So far... It's alright. I'm not too into the Moog sound it seems, I think, but it doesn't sound bad at all. Like all Moogs, it has a learning curve (at least it does in my mind). Not totally digging the small controls, but that's Euro Rack in general. I'm clumsy and enjoy the spaciousness of my Juno 106.
With that said... I still love my damn Juno 106. It's such a beautiful sound.

Re: The Synth Thread...
There's a lot of sounds to be found in a minimoog but you'll definitely find a better bass tone compared to your Prodigy.StevenO wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 6:13 pmMy Behringer Model D finally arrived.

I almost bought a vintage minimoog because the prices have come down a bit. I don't really need it though. For bass, I layer my modded Prodigy with my micromoog. Together those two do everything I would need from an minimoog.

Re: The Synth Thread...
Oh definitely! I like the rawness and simplicity of the Prodigy. But the Minimoog is a lot less of a one trick pony. Naturally I wish it were a "real" Minimoog, but this'll do for now. It does sound great, I just need to adjust to the controls.

Re: The Synth Thread...
^It's cool that it has spring reverb. Why don't more synths come with analog reverb or delay?

Re: The Synth Thread...
I could do without onboard spring reverb (I prefer a bit more spacious for synths), but a nice delay with a tone knob to change it's characteristics is always welcome.
Looks like a great synth and very much in the vein of the MG-1. If they price it right, at around $600, it could really be popular. But with Behringer out there fucking shit up with their clones... I don't know.
