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 (-: |

| 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! |
