Need help with deciding first hardware synth

Post by johhny5 » Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:16 am

Hello,

I am trying to buy synthesizer good for me as my aim is to play at home and possibly record music, but also to play in band. Currently I have a drummer, so we have live drums and trying to find out which synthesizer would be fine for us.

I am strongly inclined to either Korg Minilogue, Behringer Odyssey, or Roland JX-DI as first for long time only instrument. I like all of those mentioned, although bit worried abou my clumsy fingers for slimkeys of Korg Minilogue.

Could you help me deciding ? Or maybe you could point me to something altogether different.

Thanks

Jan

What style(s) of music?

I'm leaning towards the Roland because it's the most versatile, esp. for live performance.
I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

Pick the one you think looks the sexiest, then get that one.

It seems, that i will finally pick Monologue, as i already have PO-20, so i think they will nicely match together.
thanks for your replies and hints !
