Reply to Hardware Synths & Sound Modules.

Sup Guys,

I'm lookin to get some REAL goodness into my tunes so I'm about to dive out-of-the-box. I've been researching like crazy, looking at analog synths and some Virtual Analog ones but I figured some of you out there have some experience in this area.

The types of sounds I'm looking to make range from Gritty basses to some simple leads.

The front runners are: Moog Sub Phatty, DSI Mopho x4, TomOberheim SEM-Pro, or the VA synth, NORD LEAD 2X.

This would be my first real synthesizer so something somewhat easy to program would be great. The Nord Lead 2 seems like its capable of more SOUNDS but its not REAL analog. The Moog Sub Phatty seems pretty neat with the legendary filter and the OVERDRIVE but I'm concerned I'll be somewhat limited on it sonically.

Let me know what you believe. I'm trying to stay away from Vintage synths for now, just becuase I am new to analog, and all of their insides, and I would definetly like to support the modern analog movement thats starting to blossom.


Let me know what you believe.
