Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try at least some of them and report back!

Hi guys I need to get a single synth/rompler/sampler/whatever with some nice rhodes, wurlitzer and transistor organ sounds, possibly with built in effects. Right now I'm using my mac with kontakt and a controller, but I'd like not to use my mac anymore, a keyboard would be much more practical imo. R...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a simple sampler (sorry for the pun!) to trigger loops live. I don't really need a sequencer, but just a device which could load loops (previously created on my computer) and play them live (obviously in sync with each other). If this could be of any help, think of the use o...

Thanks guys.. Well, I would never have imagined that sound coming from a sh101, but if it's so, good then!

Thanks! Yes, there is definitely a second oscillator or a subosc.. I think the feature which is the most clear (and maybe useful to recognize it) is the filter's character, really unique... Which synth (among the ones listed above) has that vowel-like filter?

Hi guys, hope this will be an easy quest for you.. Basically, I'd like to know which is the synth all over the first Aphex Twin albums (most notably, SAW 85-92 and Surfing on Sine Waves) and even in some Cristian Vogel tracks. You can hear it, for example, playing the main sequence in the song Tha (...

thanks for all the replies, guys.. Now I'm quite interested in the roland sh09, which found at 500€.. We'll see!

uhm.. Ithought you could assign the cutoff to the mod wheel and then control it from ableton (or any other daw)..

microcons don't turn up too often though, & dark energy is available brand new for 400€. be forewarned, go that route & you're almost guaranteed to become a modular junkie. revo's capable of some awesome bass, but i run mine through an EHX LPB-1 booster pedal to beef it up. none of those have midi ...

I'm trying to remain as cheap as possible right now I found some other samples/videos, and I have to say that the revolution, dark energy and microcon are in my top three.. Too many choices!

Thanks for your attention, guys, you're really helping me in this difficult decision.. @ redchapterjubilee : I found a (very cheap) microcon at 180 €, which unfortunately doesn't have midi (and I don't have any midi to cv converter).. I'm going to look for some samples and see.. Thanks for the sugge...

I think it's a bit out of the price range.. but this is a +1 for the mopho, I guess!

First of all, thanks for the super fast replies! I thought about the revolution, but the fact that its filter cannot be controlled via midi doesn't get me too excited, I would control it mainly from ableton live. Maybe I gave the idea that I'm looking for a 303 clone, which I'm not.. I'm more lookin...

Hi guys, first post here.. Basically I'm looking for an analog synth to play mainly basses, both some minimal stuff (tuned very low with very little resonance and super snappy envelopes) and some more acid-style squeaks. I would like to remain under 500 euros (buying used, of course ;) ), but in cas...
