Guest analogue wings Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Doepfer Dark Energy - 398 Euros Yeah it's a Doepfer monosynth with MIDI USB CV in CV out Daisy chaining (stacking or polyphonic) 2 LFOs PWM Knobs and CV ins can be freely assigned via learn button Filter that does all kinds of crazy modular nerd stuff I dont even understand And it JUST HAPPENS to be CV compatible with their huge range of expensive modules. So, yeah it looks like a harmless cheap fun monosynth, but really it's a free taste of Doepfer crack. Who's gonna go first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 i've been very unhappy with Doepfer's build quality after using extensively their modular stuff as well as the Maq16 sequencer. If you have had good experience with them go ahead and buy it but i'd be a little weary personally buying something from them again. i think for me if i had the money now to buy a new high powered synth it would be a Roland V-synth for vintage stuff i'd love to get my hands on an Arp 2600 or 2500 but i probably won't acquire any of these until i'm an old man i've been saving my money to get one of these when they come out - although i just remembered i've been searching around for a decent low priced poly synth that would work pretty well with my old roland guitar synth pickup. the polyevolver was fun to use with it but its only 4 voices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCONES TO DIE FOR Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 New Oberheim SEM reissue. Under $1,000 USD. http://www.synthgear.com/2009/news/oberheim-sem/ That being said, I doubt I'll get one any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Diao Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Wow. I'm starting to save as of 5 minutes ago. When the Dark Energy is released, I'll have the ~$550 USD to get it. Hopefully that price tag goes unchanged when its released, along with everything else about it. A new analog/digital Linn Drum as well? Updated SEM? Fuck all! I was going to get a Cwejman S1MkII next, but it looks like this stuff is going to come first. Excellent. Does anyone know how much the new Linn Drum is going to cost?

Guest analogue wings Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'm definitely waiting and seeing on that LinnDrum. From what they've said, the analogue section will just be a couple of simplified Prophet08, MoPho type voices, rather than actual analogue drum instruments - i.e. don't expect an MPC with a built in 808 or nothing. New Oberheim SEM reissue. Under $1,000 USD. http://www.synthgear.com/2009/news/oberheim-sem/ That being said, I doubt I'll get one any time soon. Anyone know if you can daisy chain them into a proper polysynth (with the slave modules picking up the programmer settings from the master)? It seems unlikely given the stated intention to follow the original design as closely as possible and keep costs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest analogue wings Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 That looks shit hot! Damnit. I'm sitting on a lot of money atm, this is tempting. don't you have an ms20? cos this is basically an ms10 plus a kenton midi-cv box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impakt Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 It has midi-cv-usb so that's very very handy. Plus is a hot module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbrmyofr Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 One part of me wants to buy the new SEM when it comes out, but the other part of me says I own too much equipment and don't make enough music with it! :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berk Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 probably a rack synth or something cheap without keys in any case (something without keys is cheaper most of the time). need a synth to accompany my Alpha Juno 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 i just want a fucking decent hardware sequencer but they're all to expensive :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noise Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 csq-600 or mc-202. not expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 yeah, the CSQ 600 is quality (as is the MC202), but i need MIDI, so would have to get a MIDI-CV converter which bumps up the price innit. ideally i want an analogue style one such as the Doepfer MAQ600 or even better a Manikin Schrittmacher. The Schrittmacher is about £1200 though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berk Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I like the Kawai Q80 as well, but I guess the MMT-8 is better for 'hands-on' stuff you wanted an analogue sequencer tho innit BCM? the mc-202 is more than just a 303 with keys by the way? I didn't know you could sequence other stuff with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
