''Best'' hardware synth for PsyTrance/Trance

Hi guys! I need advice from people with experience in psytrance production about the ''best'' synth for psytrance production. I must mention a already own a Virus TI,Tetra and an Evolver.
So, I was thinking of a Nord Lead, a Slim Phatty, Blofeld or Oberheim OB 12, even a Nord Wave, though it's kind of expensive... I don't know which will fit better? GIve me ur opinions and thanks a lot!!

(about the Nord Lead...I understand that the 2 sounds grittier than 2x, but it looks like it's got some bugs plus no lfo syncing, so is it worth it over the 2x?)

kind of depends on what you're looking to do that you can't already do with the hardware you already have, I would imagine. I can't tell you either way, but if anyone here can then they'd have an easier time with that information.

If u cant do alone with a TI u are having problems! There is no real rules w psy i think other then the generic drum bassline. The rest is up to you random sounds acid lines tonns of fx and bam psy away comes down to creativity. If u after help achieving a particular part of psy be more specific i think. But all the best as i love psy trance (-:

Why are you asking the same questions you just asked two days ago?

I'd say you're good to go with the best hw synth for psy since you already have a virus ti. A lot of psy producers back in the day had nord leads and Roland sh-101s tho.

I agree with energy above. The TI should do everything you need, in fact it's probably the machine I would suggest if you didn't already have it. Is there a reason why that isn't working for you?

Personally, if you're looking at a Nord, I'd chose the Lead 3 over the 1 or 2 because the interface is much easier to program on. The rotary leds really help. Plus it's got some nice FM type capabilities, perfect for added squelch. I haven't even considered the Wave, partly because the 3 does everything I need it to and I don't want to go back to the non-led interface.

That said, I would also consider the Electribe EMX-1. I know that's not the first machine people think of, and it certainly wasn't one I was considering until I actually sat down and used it. It's actually decent for psy sounds, plus it's got one of the most intuitive hardware sequencers available.

lol 'best'


this a prickish reply, granted, but 'best'? processing and sound design on the synth is more important. maybe asking what synth comes with the most factory presets / sound banks available that are suited to a particular genre, but yeah..i'm sure you could make any of those work for you just fine

I tried that, but instead I wound up making an entire speedcore album in the space of half an hour. Strangely, at the time I only had two spoons and a piece of string, yet the basslines are incredible!
