Missing a synth to complete my set.

[BONES]

I rather prefer a fairly immediate machine.

When you say immediate, I assume you mean a synth where none of the controls are representative of any of the current parameter values? Because when I had a synth like that (Korg Minilogue), I found it to be the furthest thing from "immediate" that I can imagine. Working ITB is 10 times more "immediate" than hardware, in every way.

Maybe a Korg MS-20 type synth (Behringer K2?) for making drum sounds etc.

Or maybe an actual Korg MS-20? Korg still make them.

Thank you for your responses and opinions.

I took your opinions and thoughts into account and made a summary of possible choices to choose one.

Even if not a fan of Arturia keyboards (can connect another one), in order to take a suitable synthesizer and to complete my set, thought of different reflections.

Sequential Pro 3 vs Matrixbrute and maybe even the Subsequent 37 (even if the one I had sold was sold).

Regarding the Moog, obviously the Moog sound but more limited than the other two.

There is also, even if polyphonic, the Polybrute, but it loses the punch of a mono.

The Sequential Rev 2, but the latter seems a little corny to me as already said and compared to the Polybrute, the Polybrute is perhaps more interesting.

What do you think ?

Here it would be a choice between these models.

Important point, reliability, design quality, longevity over time are also crucial parameters for me.

Just adding my opinion, but I think you're using the wrong sound design philosophy for the genres you described. Take this video for example:



All three basses work fine in Serum, why would you spend so much on an an expensive instrument less fit for the job when you will have to side-chain away most of that bottom end bass anyway with your Kick.

Hardware is not necessarily better than software, especially when you're heavily focused on EDM.

But hey, it's your money. I'm just voicing my opinion you're free to do things your way and maybe learn the hard way.

Out of those 3, I would say Subsequent. They’re all great but that one ticks your boxes the best.

[Trancer]

Thank you very much for your responses and opinions.

I agree with you, the vst much cheaper, for an excellent result.

Before making Dawless, I only used VSTs and plugins.

I have a huge collection of these products.

But, the virtual doesn't really interest me anymore.

Updates, stability, compatibility, when main update big authorization problems, and most of the time install certain vst and plugins again.

It's true that the hardware is expensive, but it's really more pleasant at least for my use.

I just keep the computer to refine the production and finalize the recording.

Thank you for your opinion, even if your more limited choice would be for the Moog.

Could you tell me the why, really interested to know.

[Uncle E]

Pure, punchy sound and excellent build quality. It seems like you’re not impressed by the extra features MatrixBrute and Pro 3 bring, plus they’re not going to give you that sound you’re looking for. Why did you sell the one you had?

[Trancer]

Thank you very much for your response and opinion.

So very impressed by the matrix of the Matrixbrute and the possibilities of the Pro 3 and its sequencer and its three filters which don't look bad at all.

I sold the Subsequent 37, really stupidly.

I had way too much equipment and I sold a lot of it to be able to concentrate on the essentials.

Concerning the Subsequent 37, it is the only one that I regretted, a lack in relation to its sound palette, even if limited in a certain way compared to the competition.

But here I just ask myself the question, take it again or another monophonic one which will be more complete, more open on a bridge of view of the sound palette.

As this will be the machine that will seal my set, I really want to make the best choice.

[Uncle E]

I see. Well, MatrixBrute is fun and incredibly impressive looking. If I wanted to show my studio off to people, that’s the first one I’d choose. Maybe its ladder filter will give you the sound you’re looking for.

[Trancer]

Thank you for your reply.

The Matrixbrute really looks like a most interesting machine and has very good musical potential.

Concerning the filters, the Matrixbrute uses a filter like that of the Moog.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Pro 3 also uses one of the three Moog filters available.

Between the Matrixbrute and the Pro 3, which model is similar or identical to the Moog filter of the Subsequent 37?

[whyterabbyt]

Concerning the filters, the Matrixbrute uses a filter like that of the Moog.

As well as using one that isnt, ie a Steiner-Parker

[Trancer]

Thank you for your reply.

Regarding the Matrixbrute filter it was a question.

Didn't put the question mark.

Thank you for your reply.

Regarding the Matrixbrute filter it was a statement.

Didn't require a question mark.

[Trancer]

I am French-speaking, so my English can be improved a little.

I meant that I wanted to ask a question regarding the filter and did not put the question mark.

My sincere apologies, I totally misinterpreted that, sorry.

(Comparing with Sub, not Subsequent - both have the same filter)
