Cryptowen Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I was only planning on buying string instruments this year, but I have some spare change in my gear fund so I was tossing around the idea of getting another synth. I'm currently looking at an MFB Microzwerg. Anyone here use one? I like the Youtube demos I've heard, & I bet I could get some interesting sounds hooking it up with my MS-10's patchbay, but it would be good to hear comments from people who've actually tried one out. I was also considering one of those old Soviet synths that are always on Ebay, but they seem a bit untrustworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 not used a microzwerg, but have a synthlite II and love it. build quality is poor, sound quality is poor, but despite this I still love the thing. great for acid noises, bleeps and squelches and sounds very analogue and raw.

Cryptowen Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 get a Mopho dude I was thinking something with more modular capabilities, seeing as I already have one semi-modular synth. Some day I want to get into building my own full-blown modules, but for the time being synths with holes in them is what I'm looking at. I'm also looking at getting some really 80s/Fairlight CMI sounding digital synths (I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually like how those sound as much as analog beeps & boops), but but probably not until further down the road.

Cryptowen Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Bought a Microzwerg, had it arrive today. Can't actually try it out yet, though, because I don't have the proper North American adapter for it. Same thing happened last year when I bought an MFB-522, & I ended up having to get a power supply on Ebay. At the moment my techno making set-up is computer -(midi out)> mixer -(midi out)> Kenton midi converter -(CV out)> MS-10 computer -(midi out)> mixer -(midi out)> Kenton midi converter -(midi through)> MFB-522 There's no midi through on the MFB stuff, so I'm either going to have to switch up the drum machine & the synth a lot or hook up the Microzwerg to the CV/trigger outs on the MS-10 & have it play the same notes. Or just buy some midi splitter cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptowen Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Got the adapter, gave the synth a spin: http://soundcloud.com/cryptowen/mfb-microzwerg-test I like it. It sounds like pulsating green gelatin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptowen Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 ^I paid 350 Euros, which included shipping to Canada. I think if you actually live in Europe it costs a bit more for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
