One synthesiser

    I know it actually has nine synths under the hood but it is an all inclusive unit to drool over for sure!

    In that case can I have Gadget? :)

  • For pure sound (and I only know iOS synths) I'd say either Animoog or Z3ta. So many great sounding possibilities with each of those.

    But Gadget and I just have a special something. And stuff gets made, quickly.

  • Moog Sub-37 because 2 1/2 oscillators, arpeggiator, sequencer, modulation matrix, duophony and great performance keyboard.

    Or, Reaktor 6. Or Reaktor 6 interfacing to Mother 32 or Sub-37 for that matter...

    … I was very close to grabbing a Yamaha Reface DX a few days ago...

    Are you any closer? I must admit, I'm looking at it with increasing respect, and at the moment it is tipping the fictional 'one synth' balance away from a KArp Odyssey or a Korg Minilogue to a Reface DX. I suspect it'd make a superb master keyboard, the way that people talk about the keyboard feel in positive ways. My only reservation is that Yamaha seem all over the place in terms of iOS support, and it also feels as though it'd be made obsolete at a moments notice with some new nearly identical thing.

    It's super nice to play on but I really wished Yamaha would have included Audio over USB so we could record it purely digital.(I'm becoming increasingly allergic to recording/sampling analog sources being a 'numerical perfectionist').

    The thing that makes ReFace DX unique is the +/- feedback control on all operators not just one...

    Nope I've dont' have one(yet). The new Korg Microkorg S is quite tempting too...

  • If I had to pick one synth to take to a desert island it would be a Dave Smith Tempest. A full-blown synth, but with a drum machine paradigm at its fundament. I don't own one, but I'd love to at some point.

    Of the synths that I own, if I had to pick one to keep it would be my Roland TR-8 (with the 707/727/606 kits installed, ofcourse). I couldn't be without it... What can I say, I'm a drum machine addict. It's full of character, and it's designed to get a good groove going in less time than it takes to boot up a laptop.

  • Sounds like this Islands desert has been rendered that way by all those bombs, now with everybody heading to it, synths in tow, it could be louder than bombs, HOT as well. Atoll K.

    It's difficult because I'd have to go with a poly in this scenario. Couldn't do with just a mono, so..

    Juno 6. And yeah, it's gotta be the 6 so the arpeggio can be held while I forage

    A fine choice.

    MFB Dominion 1 - the synth that keeps giving and keeps the user smiling!

    Begin full jealousy mode. I've never even seen one in real life.

    Ha! Good thing to remember! Could always rig up a coconut finger contraption though. Skipper would.

  • Did anyone actually buy a Microkorg-S ? If so, what's your opinion of it?

  • @u0421793 said:

    I do keep looking at it as a portable controller with some presets and built in speakers. Now there is an iPad patch programmer available for one of the patching apps. I've heard some pretty decent sounds for it, but not sure I need sounds with what my iPad can do.

    If you had to choose only one synthesiser. Just one synthesiser. Which would it be? Would it be hardware, or software? Would it be analogue or digital? Would it be a massive monster that could do everything, or would it be something compact and neat that you can fully understand and can save patches and be put away at the end of the session? Would it be full of good presets, or have no capability for them whatsoever? Would it look good or be a nightmare to dust and keep tidy? Would it be portable and run on batteries? Would it be vintage, or up to the minute? Would it be unique and esoteric or something that has a lot of community support and shared experience in? Would it be archetypical of a certain genre of music, or would it be as far away from classification as possible? Would it have a keyboard? Would it be multitimbral? Would it be a famous name brand? Would you be satisfied with it in five or ten years time? Would you leave it to your next of kin? Would you ever actually make a song with it?

    The reason I ask is because I’ve realised that I’ve sneakily and under the radar changed the way I’ve worked from what I though it was to the way it actually is. My working methodology went behind my back under my very nose and changed everything when I wasn’t looking. Whereas in the ’80s I had a Yamaha CX5m music computer, and in the ’90s a room full of Korg MS/SQ, Roland n0n/SH, Oberheims, bass-station rack, you name it, all into a midi mutable mixer into DAT (or when that broke, a MiniDisc), now things are different.

    I realised the other day when I powered up three Oberheim Matrix 1000 units and drove one of my ancient midi compositions into it from LPX anew, that either I need a separate synthesiser all over again for as many tracks as I’m likely to create, or, as I found, I could just send one track at a time to a synthesiser (not even three synthesisers) and record the audio from it. This means I can do this to the iPad 2 and use it as nothing more than a synthesiser itself (if I can find out how to get musicIO to record audio — at the moment all I’m getting is nine tracks of myself and my wife talking with the telly going on in the background, not the audio from the iPad that midi is being successfully sent to). Which means that if I want a real synthesiser, it really only needs to be a singular synthesiser, not a collection. Which should it be? Well, I think I know what I want, but what would you do in the same situation? Just one synthesiser.

    @u0421793 , Did you ever sort out your routing issue to record on your iPad what you intended to?

    Kind of. In effect, I got rid of my computers (there's still one, but stored, not out for use).

  • I thought thread was going to be about iOS apps, but asking about synths in general 0o harsh question!

    Anyway, i dream about Serge system, for some reason it attracts me more than Buchla or (less pricey but still expensive, of course) Eurorack/other formats of modulars.

  • A sampler, always has been, always will be my main synth.

    Interesting. In the days before the sampler would you have been using a razor blade, splicing tape, chinagraph and a splicing block?

  • They would use mellotron, perhaps?

    Actually i still use those right now, if you are samplist and dont own a a couple of cassette decks for back to back compression/saturation and a crappy reel to reel for similar, you are doing it wrong ;)

    But for the record, i didn't make my first full song till i was 16, and the Akais were already in full swing by then ;)

    Software
    And more than one
    All synths have their specialties, you know, this does blah great and isn't that great for blah blah.
    Maybe it gets easier if you just make decisions like
    Ok I always do bass with this, I always do pads with that etc. and just add what's missing now.
    Or do it by method of soundgeneration.
    Something subtractive, something granular ...

  • An1x best synth I've ever owned!
