It's already been mentioned on this thread, but maybe Korg will manufacture an MS-50 mini down the road to go along withe MS-20 mini. That seems like a good idea. You know that many MS-20 mini owners would shell out $300-400 more to add an accompanying MS-50. God, I would. I LOVED that thing. I wou...

And everyone will be happy. No other controls needed.

Make that 3. Subdivisions

Don't forget HEAD SOLO SOUND - if you like Prince.

xanadu97 - Camera Eye is a must!

Jump is OB-Xa.

:::sighs::: What is wrong with you people?

Playing music with chords ain't too bad.

A single oscillator is not limiting at all if the synth you buy has the ability to do a lot with that single oscillator. Both the CS-50 and the Micromoog come to mind. If the Juno has the sound you want, then you're golden. However, the Juno is not "fat." "Fat" is something that happens with voltag...

Haha, coincidentally I listened to that very soundtrack 30 minutes ago. Great synth work!

To your knowledge, did Harold Foltermeyer use either of those synths for his Beverly Hills Cop score?

He used the Moog 15 for the famous bass line.

Rush - Power Windows
Propaganda - A Secret Wish
Data - Elegant Machinery

Don't wanna see this thread die out... "Endangered Species" (1982) - another long-forgotten movie with a decent synthesizer score by Gary Wright. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV5HXDov9NM Here you can watch the whole movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUSq2f_vAk8 Synthesizers & programming by G...

I'm very satisfied with the Prodigy. It is limited in an inspiring way, and it is really good at what is does. I haven't played the Micromoog, but I like the bass sounds Thomas Dolby made with it.

Pro-One, Moog Prodigy or Roland SH-2

In addition to all written above, I think it is very cheap. FM8 + a great MIDI controller = A hands on FM synth with real-time hardware parameter tweaking + an infinite amount of presets for the price of a DX-7II (at least in swedish prices) A sexy thing is to be able to tweak the original presets o...

I found the XS had a sort of Roland plasticity to it... the oscillators were very refined and modern sounding to me. Very few synths that I have played can match the kind of balls out girth, especially in the low/mid-range, of the Pro-1 oscillators. The XS can get pretty wild once you add the overd...

.... I don't want to sound modern. sorry but this was a LOL moment... I am quite certain that (depending somewhat on form) no less than 90% (but probably more like 99%) of music listeners would say that music made with the gear you've listed sounded "modern". The context of it.. I know what you mea...

It's exactly what I do as well, and like Stab, I have a pretty good grasp of what I can do with the instruments that have stuck around through the years. Getting rid of the c**p and clutter is cathartic. The only stuff I won't sell is the stuff that I know won't net enough dosh to make the sale wor...

Most of it comes from wanting to create a vibe out of an old instrument, to make vintage sounds and to get the right feel for music that you only get by playing the original instrument! Most of it is surely placebo though. FM8 is a far better synth than many analogs I've tried. I just get the nostal...
