The rack and Focusrite Pro 40 is on the way....I was wondering if you guys could help me create the biggest list possible for racked hardware synths under $600 (Or around there) - Doesn't have to be new and the interface I'm getting has an AD converter for analog is a go!
If you have time and don't mind, list your "favorites" of these synths and try to describe them as best as you can. Thank you :)
I'll start off with some......
Mopho
Nord Rack 2x (ebay) *I'm very interested in the NL2X rack)
Blofeld
JP-8080
ALESIS QSR Rack Synthesizer Sound Module MIDI |

Should be able to get a Waldorf micro Q or even the full blown Q or
Prehaps a Waldorf Microwave XT
Quite a choice

I have it from a very reliable source that Dave Smith will be announcing a new budget-minded synth as early as next week, which should be hitting the stores in August. Rumor has it that it will be a 4-voice version of the Mopho, so essentially a synth that is half way between the Mopho and the Prophet. Not sure what the price will be, but from what I've heard, I'm guessing it will be in the $500-700 range.
edit: OK, did a little internet searching and apparently the word is already out on Tetr4. Dave Smith had posted it on his twitter, then removed it a day or two later, but I found it at:

Apparently, the rumor is that the price will be $800 (presumably retail), so the street price will probably be around $700 ($600 if we're lucky)??? |

| Nice find there. I was going to buy a mopho next month, but I guess I'll save my cash. |

Actually it's #Tetr4. Kind of a weird name. Tom Oberheim is re-releasing the SEM. It's an identical copy of its predecessor, down to every circuit. $800 street. It's a mono synth, but I'd rather have that than the similarly priced #Tetr4.

| I met Tom Oberheim a couple of weeks ago, he was doing a lecture where I work. Great down to earth fellow :) with a lot of good anecdotes. He had the SEM there with him as well. |

Yeah, those old sample modules can be very useful for getting some more organic sounds. I don't think they're used anywhere near enough any more. |

I was thinking about getting a Korg Wavestation SR ... they go nice and cheap and can do some very unique sounds. |
