What Top 3 Synths Would You Own

If you could own 3 full sized key synths what would they be

1.Waldorf Q

2.Novation Supernova II

3.Korg MS2000

virus

moog voyager

fantom

Virus C
Supernova II
Roland V-Synth

..already ahve the Virus C and Supernova II.. only need one more...

The only hardware synth i own is my micron but im gonna get a waldorf soon thats what i want the most.How good does that hing sound anyway ?

The Waldorf Q is nice.. I was thinking about putting it in as the 3rd synth, but figured something unique would be best - thus V-Synth

I choose the Supernova II only for the cool look. i dunno about the sound.

It sounds nice, don't worry... GREAT plucks and Tb303 emulations...

Access Virus C

Alesis Andromeda A6

Waldorf �Wave XT

------

I've already got a Virus and a �Wave, so just the Andy really.

Novation SuperNova II, Roland V-Synth, Hartmann Neuron would all be very close contenders as well.....

Id never choose the generic crap you guys picked it will always be out dated when newer/better versions come out....And as computers get more powerfull dsp based synths will become obsolete...

12 panel modular synth modcan or serge
Fully expanded kyma system

xpander or some other analog


2 is all id really want.......

1)Waldorf Q

2) Virus C

3) Korg Triton Xtreme

You and your crazy analog synthesizers

i've been a software guy, but if i were to go hardware i would choose:

nord lead III

roland fantom x8

access virus

damn, i don't think i could handle the amount of fun of having the three of those in the same room lol

Alesis Micron

Virus TI

Nord Lead 3

Virus TI !

classic Roland JP

and Clavia Nord Lead.

I got the micron and its the nuts.Its awesome how this thing sounds like my dads old jupiter and stuff and the sound it belts out is crazy.

Best investment i ever made.Alotta people say the ion but in reality if u dont mind using menu's instead of too mnay knobs the micron has more to offer.

Sort of like what happened when DSPs replaced Analog chips

Hardware will never be replaced its that simple.Computers will get more powerfull for sure but if you mean to tell me that when i go to a gig im gonna depend on my computer lmao.

Computers crash Hardware could but your pc is more likely and i wouldnt want that happening at a gig.

Plus the feel of the real thing in front of me without the hassle of having to assighn knobs makes me confident.And for right now altho many of you dont agree software synths are in no way better sounding than hardware.

i purchased my first piece of hardware and i was skeptical and now i see the diffrence.

Altho u could make software sound good its too time consuming for the amout of cash they want you to dish out for it.

Im hardware all tghe way tho i think the pc is best for sequencing and track arranging.And software fx are right up there as well.

All you truly need now a days is

A good computer
Mixer
Monitors
Software
Hardware synth or two
Controller

and you have a good setup for a home based studio

i have
a semi ok pc
a alesis micron
a Oxygen 8 Midi Controller
and Software

I already have my dream synths.

Yamaha DX7II for the killer basses.
Access Virus B - overall the sickest
JP8080 - For smooth pads/strings, and phat leads
Micro-Q - actually im going to sell this one

Ill buy that MQ how much u want for it

All theyll ever be is emulations remember that....not to mention its about 100times cheaper to buy some generic motorola DSP than it is to have a analog board printed......

But look what fully analog synths dont supply

Memory (if any little)older analog anyway

Crisp clear clean sound
(alotta times sound muffled old synth)

Upgrades via internet

computer linkage (ability to use as midi controller)

My micron can sound like almost any analog synth out there it may not be 100% but it gives me what i need.

I dont need patches as for the most part they are in my head.... Soo the ability to have 1000 preset though nice is uneeded.... As for a controler i never turn on my vintage gear until I know that it was my track will need... First i track my guitar etc... And AU synths... Then if it really needs a synth lead i turn on the gear..


I guess it all comes down to preference... While all these VA's are nice its not what i choose to use, i can afford to use the vintage stuff and i will.... No synth is better than another its all preference.... Someone mentioned the waldorf XT which i cant stand because the osc alias like hell but some people like it...

Andromeda

Virus C/TI

Waldorf Q

Access Virus Ti

Nord Lead 3

Waldorf Q
