Personally I’d go moog all day over any behringer. Taurus/siren have patch memory as well.
I may be somewhat biased because next analog I plan on getting is the siren.
Just let us know more details. There’s plenty used stuff you can cheap out there
I can't in good conscious not say anything. In my personal and very strong opinion, Moog Taurus is kinda overrated and Siren is meh, like seriously, it's a waste of money.
I'm not saying they're wack, because they are not.
They are, however, overpriced and I can't value them over something else that costs less and performs great.
The hardcore truth is you're just paying for the Moog name of synths which are ironically built with Behringer parts.
I very recently traded my Moog Siren which I had for a few weeks for an API Lunchbox and 2 CAPI pres with my friend who I warned several times before we made our trade, is basically a sucker's deal. His response was he'll just trade it for something else if it doesn't work out for him. I hope we're still friends when he realizes how meh it is.
Moog is a brand we've grown up knowing, but they are not all to be all of the analog synths. The only reason they cost more is because they are an employees owned company that assembles their products by hand.
But the Behringer synths are built very well and most importantly they sound great and they have very reasonable prices. For me, you're getting more bang for the buck.
I'm hoping to trade my Korg MS-20 Mini for my friend's Behringer MS-1 soon because my K-2 is dope, but he's not ready to let go of his MS-1, but I have my fingers crossed...
*Also if you don't mind having a bit of a metallic sound in your bass, consider the Arturia MiniBrute 2S which is a pretty versatile synth but as I said, a bit metal sounding...*
