what do you think Korg Z1 or Roland V synth?
I am going to the city this weekend so I was thinking maybe I'd try and grab a new used synth to add to the collection. I am just getting back into this hobby after about 10 years hiatus. I remembered wanting either of these synths before I unplugged for a while. What do you guys think? V synth is about 700 and Z1 is 400. I currently have a Waldorf Q, Roland Juno 106 and was thinking of also getting a Waldorf Blofeld desktop.

V-Synth, no doubt. Best synth ever made

Re: what do you think Korg Z1 or Roland V synth?
I'm considering adding a V-Synth as well. I haven't gotten a new (to me) synth since i got my Ion, but I'm ready to go now.
even Siberia goes through the motions....

V-Synth.
Didn't care for the Z1 when I had one.

Re: what do you think Korg Z1 or Roland V synth?
this one seems like a no brainer, V-synth...unless budget is concern Z1 seem to be going way cheaper.

Re: what do you think Korg Z1 or Roland V synth?
agreed. V-Synth.
I have both and they're each great synths, but I'll sell everything else before I part with my V-Synth.
however, if you can manage to pick up both.....

Re: what do you think Korg Z1 or Roland V synth?
Probably depends on what you actually want the synth to do for you, but yes, I'd still say V-Synth as well, absolutely.

Re: what do you think Korg Z1 or Roland V synth?
I've owned both. Get both
Well, V-Synth is probably better, BUT Z1 for $400(if in good condition) sounds great, i would get one. Z1 is a unique, interesting, deep synth.

Re: what do you think Korg Z1 or Roland V synth?
Got the V Synth! It's awesome I didn't have my hands on it for more than a fee minutes and I needed to hit record. That is what I'm looking for in any instrument! Something that makes you need to hit record.
What a well built piece of hardware. Great to look at great to touch.
