The synth GAS thread

GavRichList

did you see Guitarguitar were knocking those out at 499 the other day?

I still love my JV1080, it sounds immense coupled with suitable plugins

Yes Gav I did - I reckon that was a bargain if you can live with the format.

Well, I dunno if this fits... but my synth fetishes are mainly old analogue stuff. Although all I have currently is:

Korg Micro Preset (the OMD synth). Amazing sounding thing, although some may say its not a true 'synth' as you can't play with the oscillators in the time honoured tradition. I say "bollocks", its brilliant... and its really easy to dial in those early OMD and Human League sounds. I love it!

I'm going to shove this in here too. Omnichord! 

These things are brilliant fun and are keyboards for those of us who really don't know what they are doing with 88 keys. Bargain-tasic, especially if you shove the output through effects (sounds fantastic with some flange and an EQD Hummingbird).

I *want* a Korg MS10 - but I am  long of pocket, short of arm!!

I remember seeing Julian Cope back on the Peggy Suicide tour and his guitarist Donald Ross Skinner played an Omnichord on a couple of songs. They are definitely more useful than their 'toy' appearance would suggest.

I want a DSI Tempest more than I want any guitar (or amp) at the moment.

I've got a Moog Sub Phatty, unfortunately my only analog synth. However I've got Komplete 10 and just got the Arturia V collection 4 deal from NI so I'm pretty sorted for soft synths. Tempted by Eurorack but that will have to wait for a while! I've also got an iConnectivity MIDI interface so I can use iPad stuff like Animoog and iVCS3 properly.

Funny thing is, I don't even own a cat.

Love the Pro-One and Micro Preset. Old analogues really are the tits.

The JD-800 is great, but it looks like the kind of thing the entertainer (Darth Clayderman?) in the bar on the Death Star 2 would be playing.

Mate of mine did sound design for this, and we had one in the office for a day or so. I had a quick play, quite nice.
