Alright, so I want an hardware synthesizer, who produce good deep bass for house music and the likes.
I have been looking at the following synths:
Alesis Andromeda
Roland 101
Moog Voyager
any more suggestions to well known synthesizer that makes true analog bass ? |

I'd be really interested to hear a Waldorf Pulse. A couple went through eBay recently, but went out of my price range. I have a couple of Waldorf synths already, the Pulse intrigues me. I think it'd be a decent pickup.
Andromedas also - at some point I'll grab one of these as well, as long as the price is right. I think an Andromeda would add a completely new texture to my palette. |

interesting, but expensive.. could get an Andromeda for that price. |

andromeda is one of the less analog sounding analog synths ;)
if you want THE analog sound, get a moog. |

Ok, but which Moog would that be ? |

| What are the limitations on lets say a Moog Little Phatty contra Voyager ? |

I agree to some extent, but the Andromeda sounds imo nothing less "analog" than any other analog synth - it just doesn't sound as raw as an old prophet, or quite as fat as a moog. Bass isn't the andromeda's strong card, but it's definitely possible to make some earth-shaking basses with it. I mean, it's 16 voice polyphony - it's quite possibly the most diverse analog synth ever made - But if you're after a synth mainly for bass, the moogs are definitely "better". |

Have you checked out the Dave Smith synths? The Prophet 08 looks promising. Or, if you're looking for a mono synth, the Evolver (digital/analog hybrid) can be had for dirt cheap and makes some pretty sick basses.
Also check out the Novation Bass Station. |

I'd like to get an analog synth some day... my current top list of analog synths :
Alesis Andromeda (I wish they hadn't cancelled the rack version...)
Moog Voyager Rack
Prophet '08 Rack |

| i produce house music and also have a few analog synths. My favorite for bass are the moog voyager and waldorf pulse. I had an andromeda and sold it as i didn't like it. For polyphonic stuff i use a prohpet 08 keyboard. The andromeda was hard to get anything amazing out of, whilst the moog and prohet sound brialliant all the time. |
