if you could get any synth right now?

[natefrogg]

not talking about vintage stuff, but current stuff

if you could get any 1 piece of current gear right now for free, a synth, a beatbox, sampler, workstation, whatever.....what would it be? and why?

=)

I would get the Korg OASYS It seems to be the most powerful synth workstation out there. The only problem I can see with it is that for gigging it would be way too heavy but that can be solved by sampling and exporting to a lighter keyboard or to a laptop. If I had the OASYS and both professional music classes and a Electronic music mentor I could make some awesome music.

I had been really itchin to get into a better dj mixer.
I used the same battle mixer i learned on for years!

But i just upgraded!
Finally!.....

I got a tascam x-9.....
And it wasnt free....whew boy....
but im workin on getting it paid off.....
and its worth every penny!
This thing makes a djm-600 feel like a behringer!

So the only thing ive really wanted lately i just got.

I would either get the Virus or the Novation X station and the Novation KS rack. those things are soooo sweeet!

Moog Voyager and Phatty, as well as Nords synths and the new future retro synth and the Elektron Instruments Machinedrum.

OASYS FOR SURE

wow man, didn't even notice the patty till reading your post, it's a nice lil machine:


Sound Modifiers include a single VCLPF: 24 dB /Oct Moog Ladder filter, with filter Overload control and a single Output VCA. Filter parameters are:
Cutoff
Resonance
Kb. Control Amount (how much the Key CV modulates the Filter)
Filter Env. Amount (how much +/- the filter envelope modulates the filter)
Overload
An Envelope Generator section provides two ADSR EGRs: one to modulate the Filter (Filter EGR) and one to modulate the VCA (Volume EGR). For each EGR, the parameters are:
Attack
Decay
Sustain
Release


The Modulation section contains a 4-waveform LFO, and a 1x1 Mod Buss with 6 possible mod sources and 4 possible destinations. Its parameters are:
LFO Rate
Mod Source: (LFO triangle, LFO square, LFO sawtooth, LFO ramp, Filt. EGR, and Osc. 2
Mod Amount (the amount of modulation w/ the mod wheel all the way forward)
Mod Destination (Pitch, Osc. 2, Filter, Wave)


The User Iinterface (UI) section is described in the UI spec, below the LCD and UI controls are the following:
Performance controls:
37-note keyboard
Spring-loaded pitch wheel
Mod Wheel
Glide On/Off
Octave Down
Octave Up


To the right of the front panel is the Output section. There is a Master Volume control, an Output On/Off switch, a Headphone Volume control, and a headphone output jack (1/4” TRS)


The side of the instrument houses the I/O of the instrument.
AC In (100-250VAC, 50-60 Hz
Power On/Off
Audio Out
Ext. Audio In (accepts +4dBu line level signal)
Pitch CV In (1 V/Oct)
Filter CV In
Volume CV In
Keyboard Gate In
MIDI In
MIDI Out

Dimensions and Weight

26.75" X 14.75" X 6.75"

Basic Editing of sounds
Sound editing of continuous parameters (like Filter Cutoff) is done from the front panel by enabling a parameter with its switch (its LED becomes illuminated), and then adjusting its value control. There are 4 value controls, one for each section: Modulation, Oscillators, Filter, and Envelopes. Each is surrounded by a ring of 15 LEDs that show approximately the stored or edited value of the current parameter. The value controls are analog, and when a parameter is activated, the analog control signal is switched to directly control that parameter (RAC™ or Real Analog Control). For each section, only one continuous parameter can be activated at a time for editing. For parameters that have multiple possibilities (such as Mod Source) pressing that switch advances through the possible Mod sources. For On/Off type switches like Osc. Sync, the LEDs are On when that parameter is on or Off when the parameter is off.

yeah its the last one Bob Moog designed before he died i think. R.I.P Bob Moog.
i love almost any analog synth. i need some analog synths to try to make goa/psy trance with.
