    I slept on the above mentioned Korg MS-2000R and after learning it was the same core sounds as the microKORG, I don't feel it was all that lost of an opportunity.

    Looking at stuff like these:

    Critter and Guitari Organelle

    Ideas? Suggestions?

    Thanks

    • Depends on what you are looking for. For me it's about 90s sounds and I have picked up cheap but dope modules and gear on eBay as a result.prophetone
    • My last purchase was a Nord Rack 2, it's the bomb and you can snag one for $500. Then spend $100 a pop on rack modules - Emu Orbit, Roland M-DC1 and JV series.prophetone
    • Looks like you have the in-the-box stuff covered...prophetone
    • I feel like for you money nowadays, if you want synths/modules, you get better value buying old gear... but you have to like old gear!prophetone
    • That JU-06 might be a next purchase for me though, we'll see. And I love the whole Critter and Guitari aesthetic and what they're doing.prophetone
    • I appreciate the input prophet. Looking at old gear for sure, but eyeing the new generation mainly for reliability / warranty.imbecile
    • the new stuff is great too but there's so much now it's def easy to get lost in it all. lots of wonderful toys. just focus on what sounds u need.prophetone
    • I'm mainly into drum and bass production if that helps anyone.imbecile
    • i have the minitaur.. its amazing. especially using the input and midi sequencing the filter.. so much win.autoflavour
    • also have the Blofeld, which isnt the same as the Pulse, but as a Waldorf Q owner, its pretty impressive as a small box. only pain is the menu divingautoflavour
    • recently purchased a Juno 6 (original keyboard) .. anyway, its amazing. i love it. if the JU-06 is even half the machine the Juno is, its a definite winautoflavour
    • and i have a massive lady boner for the Mother32.. just no moneyautoflavour
    • get a minibrut!inteliboy
    • I'd grab one of the Moog's you mentioned.section_014
