I have enough money to allocate to the purchase of either VA. I've been scouring the web looking for some opinions on the two synthesizers:
Roland JP-8080
Korg MS-2000
I have too many keyboards, so I have to get a rack synth. I was wondering what would be the better option? Cost is not a factor here, so I'm not going to choose the MS simply because it's cheaper. I am not looking for anything outside of a regular synthesizer with regular synthesizer controls. I am after sonic qualities and Knob-Twiddlyness (which both of them have). I'm not after a sequencer or anything like that.
I guess what it boils down to is which one sounds better?..and the fact that I suck at making posts (which is why I try not to do it often) I've known a couple of people who kept their MS and sold their JP. I also know some people who are vice versa...so I'm starting a thread so you guys can help me sort it all out.
Also, I'm looking for an analogue sounding synth. I am not financially able to afford a machine that would impress the purists that reside on the forums. I am not after a regular polysynth either. I already have a recently fixed Juno-106 and a finally behaving Akai AX-60.
Side note: The Akai is behaving, but refuses to stay in tune for the life of me. It used to bother me, until I grew to like the fact that it's slightly off. It sounds nice with the other characters here anyway. Plus the AX-60 to S-900 routing is NICE. Its very different from my emax, and possesses a sweet character.
Anyway- thanks for any help. Hopefully someone else in the same plight will benefit, too.
