Well... What do you guys think of it? It's quite a popular synth that's for sure. Most people who have one insist that there music would not be the same without it. I kind of have a hard time believing there is really that much difference between the older analog synths. They all seem to have that same parameters for sound construction. And, those perimeters weren't that interesting to began with. Mostly the Filters are the big distinguishing factor. If all you want to do is filter movements then you should be in really good hands. I try to look for synths that have other things besides that. Ring modulation, FM, Wave modulation... Stuff like that. On the other hand, Some people might point out that simplicity breeds ease of use and leaves you with more time to write music... So, I don't really have any recommendations. If you listen to Aphex, a lot of his stuff uses really simple 2 oscillator Subtractive synthesis (what you have) and not that much filter movement. At least on his latter stuff. All that rest off that crazy noise is just DSP effects and Computer manipulation. But, the base of it all is really just simple synthesis. Mark wrote:
