which analog synths complement your modern digital setup

[slipstream5]

Hi!
I don't know if its ok to change my thread- rather than just re-post a new one....

So here goes: I use the Yamaha motif ES rack, Softsynths and plugins and the Volca Keys myself and would like to add some older analog synths to my home studio.

I am wondering what others are using in their setup. If you have a mixture of digital and analog synths, what do you end up using the most?

wow that is a wall of text....I can't say I read it all, here is my digital/analog combo

Roland MV8800 - Sequencer/sampler/drums
Controlling:
1. Alesis Fusion (workstation/piano/bread and butter sounds/pads)
2. Juno 106
3. Elektron A4
4. Moog Subphatty

Good blend of digital for 'realistic' sounds, slightly vintage analog poly (juno), modern analog punch (moog) and diversity (A4)

thanks for your reply blavatsky. I think in my tiredness and much on my mind, my post ended up quazi-auto-biographical!

I find that things are more clear now and will re-post more succinctly and in different forum sections. I'm not sure though if I should have just started a new thread....

I typically turn to the MKS-70 in my mostly-digital studio.

I don't have any mono's though, if that's part of your equation. Strictly a poly guy.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Not sure how digital modern my setup is. I feel the Juno-106 sounds well (as in stand its own) in the mix of things.

A Boomstar and Ambika is a really sick combo.

Not sure I qualify, as a bass player first and foremost- but, I use a Blofeld as my digital "do it all" machine, and mostly rely on mostly analog monosynths for everything else. Moog's Phatty line, (any of them) are awesome for *that* type of sound, and the DSI line, Mopho, Evolver, etc are great choices if you want more motion to your sounds.

Evolver

Prophet 5, Roland MKS-50/70, Oberheim Xpander.

Mini Moog D, ARP Odyssey Mk. 1, Roland SH-5, Oberheim SEM Patchpanel.

Juno 60.

I think it's pretty hard to emulate that warmth and the immediacy of the interface which creates mojo in performance. It actually *feels* kind of digital compared to other analog VCO synths, but it has that Roland chorus which layers on some warmth (or muddiness sometimes).

I can cover a lot of analog ground with just my Mono/Poly and JX3P. I'm selling most of my other gear to fund a Korg Kronos. After that, I look forward to finally building a modular setup.
