Would some actually mind elaborating on the Snow and the regular TI comparison? My understanding is that they are capable of producing basically the same sounds and you are just trading on-screen controls for physical buttons and knobs...Specifically, why would it be worth paying the additional money for the TI over the Snow?

All TIs but the snow operate on a Dual-DSP architecture. The Snow has only a single DSP, the same as in the Original TI, resulting in 1/2 the processing capacity. Aside from the performance and obvious physical limitations, you are also limited to four separate sounds/tracks in multi-timbral mode versus 16 on the rest of the TI line. Sonically, they are capable of the exact same sounds and run the same operating system.

The original TI has two DSPs. The snow may have only one, I don't know. I think the only difference is the snow has half the voices, so you will need to bounce tracks earlier to avoid missing notes.

I finally ordered my andromeda I cant fucking wait

that being said I own a virus c and micro Q

access products have been reviewed by more than one so maybe I can slip something about the waldorf micro Q

At 500USD this thing is a complete steal. Neat features include good polyphony (25 i believe, for 500usd lol), raw/rough sounding oscillators, beautiful pwm, 12 and 24 db slopes for lp hp, COMB FILTERS, fm modulation on filters! 4 enveloppes and a big mod matrix. Although you get that "waldorf sound" that thing can do pretty much anything: thick pads, weird fx, mean basses etc

Cons, onboard effects are very weak compared to the virus (no shit). Except for that....theres nothing really to complain about

Im beginning to think that machine has more modulation possibilities than the virus. Also, you can create your own 1 to 16 step arpegiatted patterns with a plethora of options (offset, actual notes played, volume, glide)

Hey Alanzo, which do you think is better for bass, Blofeld or Mopho?

I'm looking for something cheap to get some deep analog bass and I know the Blofeld isnt analog but I just wanted to get an opinion from someone who knows their synths.

I'm thinking the Mopho would prob be better, yay or nay? Orrr maybe even a Nord 2 rack instead?

Thanks!

Definitely no to the blofeld. Well, the Nord Rack 2 won't have Unison/Stack, which is a lot of what makes the NL3 so awesome. But the Mopho is monophonic, which kinda sucks. Go with the Mopho first ... it's the cheapest. If you don't like it, sell on eBay and get a Nord Rack 2.

Yeah, but for bass, mono is fine. @Robby - I have a Mopho, but I've never owned a Blofeld. The Mopho is a monster for basses, leads, and drones. It's easiest to program using the software editor, but if you make wise use of the 4 assignable knobs, it's incredibly tweakable from the hardware itself. It's got the sub-osc's and can sound incredibly phat and has step generators for some crazy modulation capabilities.

Virus and Prophet '08 sold, Waldorf XT and Moog Voyager have arrived. I'll update this in a few months with my thoughts on the two instruments.

Pending: Waldorf Q and possibly a Studio Electronics SE-1.
