Virus Ti2 + Prophet 8 ?

[shenme shenme]

it seems like you don't even really know what you want, you just have $1k burning a hole in your pocket. We've all been there. If you want rounder bass than the virus, you'll have to go analog. Unless you want one of the 303 clones you'll have to save your money, or buy used. Myself, i'm dying for someone to sell me a SunSyn cheap, but it'll never happen! XD also, annikk's right about effects, if you're just bored, but i wouldn't drop that kinda cash on distortion. Try a diamond halo chorus or a germanium fuzz, etc. You'll have something to play with that'll definitely do things the virus won't.

To be fair, distortion is fairly central to what I do. But the Culture Vulture is awesome!!

Thanks to your help i will probably Take the MOOG LITTLE PHATTY.

Just in case does someone think the MOPHO would be a better deal ?
i dont need a Keyboard, and i would use my mono analog synth for mostly BASS and LEAD straight, not so much live tweaking (i say about that because peoples said the mopho knobs need to be turned much more than little phatty to get where you want and that its not cool for tweaking filter live).

Or is it really less phat for bass ?

I was surprised by the quality of prophet 8 lead and so the mopho should sound same basicaly ?

as for distortion rack iam thinking about it i do use myself very often distortion on my instruments but usually Plugins ones...
But its true Distortion is a very versatile effect and can be used in many occasion.... i use it even on voice sometime if used slightly it can really make voice more warm....

I really think you'll be better off with the Moog LP.

Also, the Culture Vulture is often used to just add subtle analog warmth to stuff. People run their entire mixes through it on a low setting, etc. It was used to process stuff on the latest James Bond movie.. :>

Go for the Moog....and you will never look back about the choice you have made....

[chromatic]

Well i will go for the MOOG then...
After all... its the MOOG lol

As for the Distortion i think its a good idea to use it on master but i would be worried that i dont have enough knowledge to do that.... but its really interesting .

I do use it for Drums sometimes... not often full drum mix but Snare or BD.. it really help...

Culture Vulture is perfect for warming sounds up a bit, without actually distorting them. It seems to bring out/enhance many of the subtleties and nuances in sounds. There was a thread on Gear Slutz a while back where some go posted up an A/B with dry signal versus subtle warming. The difference was small but definitely a noticeable improvement. In a way it also works a bit like a mastering compressor.
