So this is kind of a followup to a thread I started a couple of weeks ago about editing my setup (Help me 'edit' my setup?). I managed to do a big selloff where I sold a Minilogue, Prologue, A4 MkI, and some other stuff, with the goal of getting a really good poly to go with various modules and fx that I kept.
I was pretty taken with the Polybrute, despite having only 6 voices (not really an issue for me since I still have lots of other synths), so I preordered one. But given that it won’t ship for a couple of months, I’m left to obsess over this decision, and I figured I’d poll folks here again.
So: what’s the best poly I can get for under $2500/€2500? Polybrute? Summit? Prophet Rev2? I realize that this choice is highly subjective, so I invite subjective responses. A couple of things: I want a synth with a good keybed (and not a desktop), I don’t care much about cv (other than maybe sync), a good sequencer is nice but not essential (I have several external sequencers), and I want a fat analog sound with as much flexibility as possible for pads, etc. (not interested in wavetable or digital–my K5000 is actually a quite brilliant digital synth, despite being mostly ignored).
So, hive mind, what think you? Thanks!
