Help me to choose the right synth

Pastor I've got that issue myself.

I agree to a point with enough time you could gather enough variables to model something accurately. But realistically the chance of this happening is unlikely.

There's so many individual random external variables that can affect an analogue synth that simply can't be mapped as well as would be needed, that it simply isn't an option at the moment. Although never say never and all that.

A rather extreme example would be comparing the Yamaha CS80 to the Arturia CS80V... it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of a door to the room in a house that contains the real thing.

Grab a xv3080, jv1080 or whatever and install a couple of expansion cards and you're good.

The hiphop & vintage synth collections have a nice array of bass sounds...whatever you want.

Ok. The last question i want to ask.. Do you see any point of getting some old analogue soviet sytn? That would be strange for you, but you can find the polivox in some russian trashbins I mean that old ussr synt not counts by russian people at all. If i will be lucky, i may get one of that synts by advertisement (stone age, ok) or just visiting city's markets.
There is some russian ebay analog but traders want to get about 400$ for that trash
Here is the ebay seller

But if i find it i would grab it with no problem for 100-200$ lol

Absolutely, go for it! Any Soviet synth should be at least interesting, but don't pay too much... Don't expect it to be much more than an interesting source for sampling!

I once found this huge old Soviet rack delay (Rubikon Reverberator) when I visited St.Petersburg. Cost me next to nothing (15 €, maybe). Completely unique, extremely lo-fi, instant sound destroyer. Crashes when set to repeat indefinitely. Doesn't get a lot of use really...

Go for it mate, I've always seen Soviet synths on ebay and have always fancied a little go. At the end of the day only you can make these decisions, but I say yes why not. Especially if they're nice and cheap!

scoobylol
They're not nice. yes, nice sound BUT the background noise disturbs ALL. Also whole quality of gear is really bad, i can say.

The background noise is one of those little things that gives an analogue synth personality I think. The crackles on the pots, the hiss on the outputs. Sometimes a bit of dirt is a good thing

I choosed the KORG M3R, i like it much.. first time i used it here

My old friend who been connected with music (mastering, playing in the band - that kinda ish) told me that there is no difference berween hardware and software synts. Having a old analogue hardware synt is the most handy option for me, but it will cost nice bunch of money, in other hand good audio interface and midi keyboard cost same

Tell me your friends company name so I know never to use him. I use a mini moog. There is a huge difference. Moog is best known for making heavy bass lines. Most bay area music uses the moog. If you like sound.

i bought M3R for 6000 rub, about 300 bucks. About soft-based synts: i do not like working with computer. Thats why i bough hardware synt, mpc, turntable. When using hardware i can touch what i doing, its really important for me. Software got more visual things, i mean ITS NOT HANDY AT ALL

I second PIAA fatman and bass station. But Novation just brought out th ULTRANOVA, that would definitly be a contender
