I need to buy an analog synth this week? Which one?

[Monobeat]

What about the Alesis Andromeda? I tried one out years ago and didn't like the feel of it. I've heard many good things about it. Anyone tried one out lately?


I've read a few bad reviews on the Prophet '08... I need to play one myself I think.

So now I'm trying to decide between.....

DSI MoPho and DSI Evolver , both desktop

or

DSI Prophet '08


This is killin me. I like the possibilities of the desktop Evolver's digital/analog osc design and circuitry, although the pure analog and polyphony of the Prophet '08 seems enticing.

To me, the DSI stuff sounds fairly close to the Virus (obviously not all sounds or all modes, but close enough to be considered overlapping).

I had a P08 for a while and it was too sterile compared to the older real analogs I have. If you're looking for that thick old analog sound, follow another poster's advice and look for a Juno 60, or even a Juno 6, or (fully working) 106.

If you have the chance to audition any of the DSI stuff, do it before commiting to buy.

I just came back from "Mandolin" Center and tested out the Prophet '08. It is not the thick sound I'm after at all. I need the Juno sound now, I am sure of it.

Thanks Guys. I think I am still going to demo the evolver keyboard before I decide. Now when I test the Evolver I am going to be listening for the overlapping. Thanks brother from another mother!!!

poor sound quality, but these are good demos of what the Juno 60 can do

So what did you end up getting?
