Vintage Synth Explorer Forums

Hi everybody
I am new to this forum
I like the late 60's , early 70's psych, spacerock, krautrock sounds.
Until now I have only used a Moog Prodigy, and vsti's like Pro53, Arturia minimoog.
Since I don't have the money to buy a vintage synth which one would you suggest?
One of these micron, ion, microkorg or something else?

Hi there, welcome to the forum!

If you have a look around you'll see there are many many many many threads discussing the relative merits of those synths. Please read these threads for a bit of background info first and then if you still have any questions discuss it in one of those threads rather than starting a new one. People around here get a bit touchy about people starting new threads to discuss something like Micron V Microkorg.

Hi there Agape.

If you use the search function

http://www.vintagesynth.org/phpBB2/search.php

And type in the words "ion" or "microkorg" etc. you'll find a wealth of topics on these synthesisers. It's a pretty handy tool for finding out information.

And as far as the sounds you're looking for you should probably consider a rompler of some sort, as a lot of the late '60s-early '70s groups used organs, electric pianos, Mellotrons, and other non-synth keyboards.

for the style of music you suggested, I would think of the list of synths you gave the ion would be the best bet, seconded by the micron, and thirded by the microkorg.
