I recently sold my controller k/b & am now looking to buy a compact synth to take it's place infront of my PC so I can program sounds without straining my eye's infront of the monitor all the time & jam with a friend etc..........I am looking at either an MS2000, Prophecy, K-Station or similer & wondered if anyone who has owned one or more of these could comment on how well they would handle the job of controller k/b & what type of sounds could I expect at best from these......I make Drill'n'Bass, Techno, Ambient, Atmospheres & other worldly sounds for picnics & snuff movies. |

I personally like the MS2000, because it has an analog interface, and it has audio inputs to fuck up any sort of sounds you like. Your best bet for a good controller would just be the one with the most knobs and sliders, because with MIDI you can asign those to any parameters on the computer you want. The MS has either harsh basses and great noises, or lush pads and stranges textures. Go with the 2000. |

I hear what your saying but have you ever used a prophecy or K-station?.....I have spent some time playing with the MS2000 in the shop & managed to get some really nice sounds from it & I am kinda swinging towards it at the moment but I've also heard some great things about the other two & since the prophecy isn't being manufactured anymore I was hopeing someone could shed a little light......... |

you do know that the korg prophecy is only monophonic |

Yeah but if it's good enough for the prodigy then it's good enough for me.......I heard it was PHat & it's a neat little keyboard, quite a bit smaller than the MS2000 which makes it more practical for me but I would really like to know about it's sound capabilities & user friendliness etc................ |

Maybe I'll just fuck Korg & go for a Novation.............. |

The MS200 is ultra phat....some of the sounds on it are phenominal and the amount of twiddly things and knobs on it mean you can alter them all completely. Plus, if you like the k-station, then i suggest you just download the software version as it's just as good. It's called the V-station and Marlowe was sharing it on soulseek. |

My connection is 56k so it would probably take all week to d/l, I have heard of the V-station but as I said I'm after a hardware synth/controller as I'm trying to get away from the computer cos it's such a sterile way of working & it's fucking my eye's up! .....Oh, & hardware is soooo desirable =b |

I cant help myself..........for an extra £100 more than the price of a midi controller k/b I can have a gorgeous little synth......Hell yeah.........My first hardware synth, it will be a love story for shure, I may even be tempted into hardware for all occasions d=()z< |
