Hello everyone, today what would be the most modern analog synthesizers that are on sale, the most innovative, I would like to buy a synthesizer that combines the new technological advances together with the exquisite analog sound.

do some research, maybe the new oberheim, the classic moog,
Sequential, but is there more?

thanks

 

Maybe Arturia PolyBrute

 

If you're looking at Sequential, I'd say the Rev 2 may be the most 'modern' of them. Some folks don't like the filter in it (of course its not an old P5 CEM or SSM), but with the mod matrix, and the fact you can assign the LFOs (and an extra envelope) to everything, the thing is a sound designers machine.. Never played the Trigon or Take 5, but I don't believe either one is setup like the Rev 2 is. Bought mine about a year ago, absolutely love the thing.

 

I would say go modular... what's your budget?

 

I have a budget, around 2000 dollars, my search is more for the sound quality side, I am not interested in spending all the money, it is a synthesizer that is expensive just because it is new, sound quality is what I am looking for.

 

For that kind of money the Arturia PolyBrute or MatrixBrute are your best options for modern, analog, and all in one super versatile solutions.

 

....and if you choose to enter that black hole of a money pit that modular synths are, despite being awesome, I'd advise that you also get mentally prepared for a divorce, homelessness, and bankrupcy shortly too, but you'll have an awesome modular synth with you in your shopping cart!

I would say the pre-made modular systems like with Erica or Make Noise would be a good compromise. Not sure how much they cost though.

Of course even the best of them can't compete with the Maxibrute in versatility.

 

Some Erica synth modules are 3 and 4 thousand dollars. If you want versatile, the Arturia is a great option. But for 2 grand, i'd get the Matriarch, without question. Brand new now, they are about 1800.

 

Surely you mean systems, like this one, not modules?

 

yes like system2 or system3. *modular not *modules. Whereas the Moogs are considered "semi-modular".

 

Sure, if I mean those systems, thank you very much for the answers

 

If you were looking at the Matrix Brute, Erica have a new Syntrx (Syntrx II) now with similar patching possibilities. 2000 and change:

 

Is that their take on the Synhi?

 

I've got the Polybrute and really like it. The modulation matrix is very sweet to have as well as the slider and the interestig sounds that can be found with the Morphe and of course as well as the amazing A/B morphing. It has a sequencer and arpeggiator. The effects are very good and you can go fairly deep with them if you like. Both the filters (Ladder and Steiner) are top notch and I like the keybed.

 

It's damn close looking, right? Joystick is in same spot, osc 1-3 similar positions, it looks as though they moved some some things around while keeping the layout very very close. The wood cheeks instead of a briefcase and the gun metal silver chassis look borrowed from the Virus TI. lol
I wonder how many they plan on making.

 

Go to a shop and test them. You can't buy something that costs 2k, because a stranger recommended it. Anyway, in these high end synths you pay more for the extras that assist in live performance, not for "sound quality". You have free vsts that are godlike in sound quality (and probably better than hardware since it is decades behind in tech. development).
Check Polybrute, but it is a little over your budget.

 

I would like to ask the following in this post that we are talking about.

Copy and paste what I ask:

What would be the digital, analogue, hybrid synths specialized in Pads that you can get today, whether they are old or new, but that really perform well in sound quality, creating pads or in your sound bank.

Maybe at that time Oberheim?, Roland jd 800? Some of them today are not cheap and impractical to transport. ..

Of course also question the Quality - Price of the device.

 

People say these things about Diva. (and then they actually play a Moog).

 

I knew it looked somehow familiar :
