Let me just say that it doesn't exist. Sorry but it doesn't.
This is just my way of letting people know that most synths have there place in your studio you just have to find the right place for it. In some caese its the garbage but not always. I've gone through many synths in the 2 years live been trying to make it as they say. some are crap and others I can't beleave I sold. We have to go through the "I don't know what to buy so I'll get what the other guys buy" phase. At first I bought a master keyboard and tons of modules but that is definetly not the way to go. Your better off with the keyboards. The more hands on the better.

One thing that really bugs me as that when I read a review it's always comparing the synth to a 303. get the fuck over it if you want a 303 get the fucking 303 and shut the hell up. Why would you buy a synth to sound like another synth. the rave-o-lution doesn't sound like a 303 so don't get it. give me a fuckin break.

All synths have a little something to contribute to your sound.
I'll give you a little run down of the synths I regularly use and what i use them for .
-Korg Prophecy- The pads are incredible. 13 osilators help to sculpt the sound. Can you say FAT. Its also a great controller with the dials and aftertouch.
-Roland String Ensemble- Great sampled strings. makes it on all tracks.
-Roland MC-303-Big peice of crap what the hell was I thinking. I do however use a few drum sounds.
-Roland Sound Canvas- GM for internet music. I've been know to use a patch or two on a track.
-Novation Bass Station- Bubbly acid and super mono bass lines
-Korg ER-1- Awesome drums
-Korg EA-1- Great synths. Analog heaven and easy to use.
-EMU ESI 32 sampler- collects all the dust.
-CS2X- Great controller and really nice arpegiator. Sounds are decent to.

None of these could work alone but togheter its a powerful package to be feared.

I got to get back to work bye.

Sounds more like your rigs a fucking joke, mate. Not an analogue piece in it. Wrong place to post. As for you castigating modules, you obviously have plenty of space and have never toured. Six keyboards in on room, even on two ultimate stands takes up a bit of room, and is a bitch to move every night. As far as your ultimate synth comment goes, I think it's debatable. So far, the Waldorf Wave comes pretty fucking close to being the ultimate synthesizer. Modulars can also do some wicked things, so I think it's really in the hands of the user to make the best of technology available. Yours is odviously low budget, so use it well.

I love the Korg Z1. It has the
sounds that hit the nerves and
soul. I have yet to hear of a
synth that is as clean and pure
as the Z1.

I guess a few coming here think that knobs and sliders mean analog, and buttons are for digital gear only. Know the deal, or be silent, and learn.
