My birthday is in a couple weeks!
I want a new instrument, and my budget is ~$500
I’m very close to ordering a lyra 8, but it is above my budget, and I’m worried it is kind of a one trick pony.
I currently own a DT, AK, and nord lead 2x. I use ableton.
I used to have a mother 32, and I miss the exploratory and tactile qualities of that synthesizer. The
one knob per function interface + patchbay were very inspiring to me.
What would you recommend? I feel covered sonically with what I have, I am looking for a instrument with a inspiring and tactile interface. Bonus points for midi cc control and ext audio in.
I’m a Vermona fanboy so I can recomand you Vermona Mono Lancet 15" in this price range. Simple and beautiful mono analog synth. It can deliver the fat you miss or the warmth to improve your 2X.
Another solution is to add an analog filter to your 2X. Vermona have one, or you can find an Analog Heat MKII in this price range on used market.
MIcrofreak - will feed your DT very well as it’s capable of so much more than I think most realise. In my opinion one of the best instrument’s you can buy in it’s price range - and better still it’s a lot of fun to use.
Referring to the image posted by @Wolf-Rami I can tell that the Microfreak and the Neutron could be, what you are looking for. I had much fun and they provide many different sound options.
