Buying synths

[soem aeld]

I have a synth.

 

A Waldorf MicroQ, but I can't stand the rack format.

I feel very trapped when using it.. hmm.. too bad 'cus it's really cool.

So I'm thinking about selling it and buy a new synth.

 

Is the Korg Prophecy any good?

 

I don't want anything too complicated with everything ever invented

packed into one synth.

 

I want something like the MS2000 (my brother has one of those...).

A simple VA synth with a keyboard.

 

(Don't tell me to buy a Clavia Nordlead1,2or3, JP8000 or MS2000)

What's up, man. I would NOT recommend the Korg Prophecy if you want something simple. The Prophecy is probably one of the deepest modeling synths you'll find on the market...unlimited waveforms, countless parameters/adjustments, etc. Unless you're willing to dedicate a LOT of time fucking around with it to fully reach its potential, I think you're better off getting something else that will give you more immediate results.

 

If you're willing to shell out the cash for a Nord, maybe you should consider the Virus KC or a used Virus KB. I personally just aquired a Virus Rack and plan to get the Virus C tabletop within the next couple months (I'm more of a knobby person than keyboard).

 

Hope you find what you're looking for.

get a novation nova 2...or the laptop version (if you already have a controller)....it's pretty mean...and easy to program..

If you are frustrated with the rack mount you can buy the Oxygen 8 at

www.novamusik.com for $130 Its just a small keyboard knob midi

contoller.

Waldorfs microwave xtk is the keyboard vers. of microwave

If you have the money The Q+ or supernovaII keyboard

Or cheeper but still good I agree with kimmz above virus Kc very

easy to learn.
