Korg ARP Odyssey or Novation Bass Station II
I'm going to get both of them but which one should I get 1st?
Life is going good for me and I'm still trying to build my dream but humble studio.

I find myself wanting the Novation more than the ARP. Not sure why. Maybe I've just never had any experience with the ARP.

different sounds - id say it comes to your own preference really, personally i love that filter on the KARP, the BSII does sound really good too though
Richard Butler
Me I'd get the ARP first, it's just so evocative and 'real'

I echo what Rich said.

I owned a couple of Bass Station 2's because I kept thinking they must be good, and they kind of are. My main issue and reason for selling is that they sound a little sterile. Very similar to an SH101, but without the balls. They can make some nice sounds, but I found myself not using it that much next to my other stuff.

The Odyssey will definitely add some secret sauce to the setup, but the question is do you like that flavour sauce!

Life if going good for you eh? Then you should get both, used, so you don't pay retail tax, then decide a year later which one you can live without.

Hmm, Arp module plugged into a Rolli keyboard...

The odyssey has my vote, but I would lean to neither xD.

I am just chilling right now in my room with the beer and some good smoke, checking out some videos on YouTube on my Yamaha HS-80s and MAN I love the sound of this keyboard.
That guy who plays it is a master on a keyboard!
:)
I got everything in my studio taking care of but a good analog synth and it's going to be my second analog synth I think you guys are in for a surprise for my first analog synth that I'm going to purchase!:)

Take a look at the Vermona Mono Lancet too.

It's a fairly simple architecture, but it sounds unreal. It has serious balls and I think it's the equal to any modern Moog (in terms of tone if not features).

Built like a tank too.

I put the new syntn on pause for a month or so I got a new car instead! :)
I plan on making YouTube videos of my new Studio pretty soon to show yall the progress and to get some advice.
After playing with some synth at my local music store the moog seems pretty nice.
