Josso Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 So basically this is the deal, last time I pretty much got a bit more cash then got a Microkorg. I'm getting an SH-101 as a present now instead of having to buy it so I have this spare cash. I think I might randomly look around Vintage Synth Explorer and Ebay but what do you think is the best idea. I liked the sound of the Yamaha CSX2, no idea if it's complete bullshit but I loved the strings sound it had on it... looked on Ebay and it seemed within the price range.

ten fingers ten toes Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Nord Micro Modular. For an extra $100 you could even afford a nice Nord Modular Rack. It will be the most versitile synth you own hands down, as it can do a fairly good impersonation of the 101 and sound loads better than the Microkorg.

BCM Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 hmmmmm, well SH-101's a good bet. I dunno, you can't atually find that much for £200 on eBay - all the half decent synths i've ever bid on around that much always go for more (usually about £300). I'm fucking fed up of EBay anyway - I JUST WANNA BUY THE FUCKING THING!! sooooo cannot be arsed with all that bidding nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josso Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Yeah, I'm already getting an SH-101 (for freeeeeeee!) so I want something to go with it, preferably quite different to the 101 so I get some variations with my sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perunamuusi Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 when in doubt go with a juno (or korg mono/poly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perunamuusi Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 ah no - probably not probably about double your budget sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ten fingers ten toes Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Nord Modular man. G1 Micro or Rack if you can swing it. Most versitile synth you will own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Idrn Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 i need some cash for you can buy my cs1x if you want. the classic 'big blue'. im hoping that itll end up being worth quite a bit in 10 years when everyone starts ironically loveing cheesey 90's eurodance music and want the 'original dance synth'.

SCONES TO DIE FOR Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Do you think Alpha Juno is within my budget? I have no idea how expensive they are I just got one for $125 USD, but in the states. According to UK eBay's completed auctions they look well within your budget, around £100.

According to UK eBay's completed auctions they look well within your budget, around £100. orly I saw one for around £100 but there was 4 days left or something. I really would like that, it's got a really great classic sound imho. Regarding Nord Modular it doesn't look like my kind of thing, and I really would prefer to get something from the 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iep Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 roland jx3p yamaha dx7 siel cruise elka sk22 korg poly800 with slayermod akai ax73 korg dss1 all great underrated synths (except for the dx7 which isn't underrated) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iep Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 o wait i thought you said 100 pounds... for 200... get a microwave 1, or a matrix1000.. if you want keys, maybe a juno60 (don't bother with the alpha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adjective Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 here's a thought! if you're already getting a synth for free, why not spend the money on something else? maybe a midi controller or drum machine or used piano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten fingers ten toes Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 The Nord Modular can sound like any synthesizer from the 80's you want it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dugbert Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 there are really only two options: get something like pre-1985 that has analog circuitry and probably doesn't have midi (except for a few i can think of that are out of the price range) or get a Nord Modular edit: option 3: sell the microkorg to get a nord G2, the sh-101 is probably all the 80's you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
