With 4 note poly, you will not be a very happy camper.

i would get an SH 202 instead, it should be in the same price range.

I noticed it only had 4 poly, but this is for making house/electro.
I didnt think it would be a big deal?

sorry was the wrong number hehe.

Roland SH 201

keep in mind its a cheap synth, you can get one new for very little money.

It has the Supersaw waveform, audio inputs and USB/VST intergration.

Its more appropriate than the microKorg i would think.

ok i found one it looks fat.

Im not really into the supersaw..why would you say its more appropriate? because of the ease of use?

yes, its designed to teach basic synthesis.

That being said, i personally wouldnt buy any of them.

i like the microkorg more specifically for its vocoding

but for an overall synth the sh-201 i think is a better option :toothless

i think however if you are going for a really dirty (ed banger records) sound maybe the microkorg is a better option?

out of the two, get the sh-201. I have the microkorg and its a pain in da ass to program.. fun but a pain in da asss.

or get a second hand Korg MS2000(r), which is the same engine as the microkorg but with a knobby interface

Kid_presentable
Thanks for the info Pjotr.
It looks ok and its cheap as.

Ultimatley I want a synth mainly for bass, fairly dirt sound and on a tight budget :)

i have the microkorg. it's good but the polyphony can be limiting at times. when a patch uses dual oscillators, the polyphony is actually reduced to two :/ in any case, it's a unique synth and programming makes for many possibilities. i don't know much about it, but you may also want to consider the comparable alesis micron synth.
