I haz been looking me at some little synths. I feel some collection to happen.

I'm not talking about the old stuff or the bigger ones, but all the cool little ones.

So far :-

Oberheim SEM (liking this a lot)
Arturia Minibrute (bit meh on the sound so far though)
Doepfer Dark Energy
Tetra
Waldorf Pulse 2
Mono Evolver

Are there any other cool little knob tweakers that I might not know about yet?


And don't talk to me about the A-100 stuff. That is a scratch I shall itch next year.

vermona mono lancet

its not a synth but Sherman filterbank is really cool and very analogue. Definitely a knob tweaker too

The waldorf pulse 1 is a dirty little beast imo not tried the new version

That looks pretty good. Cheap too!

Actually the filterbank is a pretty good shout, although a couple of the little synths I've been looking at can process external audio so I'm not sure if i'd be doubling up.

The Pulse 2 should be pretty good though, although I have no idea why they insist on using that multi function UI. Gah!

I haven't decided between the minitaur and mini brute.

Neither of those are floating my boat at the moment.

I've just found out about the Studio Electronics Boomstar, which comes in 4 filter flavours.

I'm seriously looking forward to hearing the SEM version.

i bought a few analogue things when i was trying to make DnB - for bass and bass processing. The Sherman was definitely the most "analogue" sounding of them all! its noisy, unpredictable and sometimes it even sounds like a reverb. Mostly good for distortion.

Studio electronics stuff looks blinding, bit pricey though but id love to try some of that stuff one day

Their UK distributor is Studio Xchange up in North London, so I think once they have the Boomstar in stock I'll go and have a play.

I've got to mini beasts.

The kick lancet which is ok but tbh I need some good outboard pre-amp to record it through as I don't get great results using my RME interface. It also doesn't do much.

Secondly I have the rack version of Leipzig by Analogoue Solutions, which is a classic monosynth.

Here is a link to the one with build in sequencer;

It's fat and fun, but I'd say overall a bit dissapointing. Wish I'd gone for something with more sonic routing possibility.
Again I could use a decnet pre or something to record it through.

A producer I recently met, actually uses shitty little bits of circuitry from part of an old camcorder as his preamp, and it's actually really effective. I have old bits of amplifiers and so on so I might try this - I originaly started in electronic music by circuit bending anyway so it would be fun.

I do think there's some secret sauce in connecting these things together, and ultimately having more than one flavour to play with Rich.

I don't think i'll ever be a fan of the full modular world as it just seems like a faff to me, but some kind of interconnection would be cool.

I know I said I wasn't talking about the bigger synths, but I happened upon this relatively recent Andromeda video.

What a beast
