It has digital oscillators I believe.

Correct. Isn't that what you're looking for? Virus TI2 and JP-8080 were 100% digital.

I meant synth sounding like that but fully analog. :D

Literally will never happen. :D

Ironically, the JT-4000 is the closest you'll get because it has an analog filter.

I would consider it, if it had more knobs and stuff, seems a bit limited. :D
It's dirty cheap though, I could buy 2 or 3 but the issue is connecting all this stuff. :borg:

I know I will need to patch it, but if it's not possible then it would be a bummer.
On the K2 you can choose between pink or whitenoise and connect it to External in And on the Pro-1 you can choose between using External in or the Noise generator.
It is the knob next to the Oscillator B Volume knob.
I'm not sure I understand you, do you mean connecting K2 noise generator to external in the K2?
Don't you generate noise by selecting noise on OSC 1?
When you do what i told you the Noise generator operates as a third VCO for noise so you can use the 2 Normal Oscillators with the Waveforms you want to use.
The Noise generator is a separate sound source just like if it would be on a Synth with a Noise level knob except that you have to patch it on the K2 or a MS-20 :)

If you find the Noise signal to be to strong you can add a second patch chord and this time you connect The Noise on the patch side to the External signal processor part to Signal in and the other cable to Amp out and put the cable you connected to the Amp out to the external in and you can use the signal level knob in the External signal processor part as Volume control for the Noise Generator.

Thanks, but then will the LP filter affect the noise?

If I wanted to play with trackpad then I would just get the 8000 and Ti2 emulators. :)

Yes. You can then use the highpass or lowpass filter or Both at the same time to change the sound of the noise just like it does on any other Synth that has a Noise Oscillator.

I'm wondering, with my setup, will LFOs in the analog synths be synced to the DAW? If that is even possible.

Also it would be a bummer to not have acid..

The "Behringer TD-3-MO-SR “Modded Out” has this printer USB connection same as other synths, how would the sequencer work if it was connected USB -> Mac, and audio -> interface?

Could I have it tempo sync to DAW?

Yes, you have 4 ways to sync. Internal, Midi, USB Midi and trigger

I use the USB cable to play the TD3 here. Your host should allow to to set as master or slave sync
