so, i'm creating music now for about a year, and i came to the conclusion that i want to get some "real" hardware stuff, not only more emulators on the pc. but in the great forest of synthesizers, and other stuff, it's kinda difficult for me to choose. i would want something quite cheap (about 200 dollars or less)(used of course), that i could make some noise with. now, i know that some of you have some experience in these things. could anybody recommend me something or share his thoughts about that ? |

Korg 05/RW. Its what I've got its a great synth module. 40 internal effects, plenty of sounds, plenty of good drums sounds, massive bend range for wicked pitch shifting effects on drums. Of course you'll need a PC keyboard to do bending. |

I bought mine in '98 for £299 reduced from £500 but probably worth what I paid for it. I think they're worth about £150 now. |

i just bought a microKORG, and i must say it's pretty cool...$400, 128 programs, loads of effects and *GASP* a VOCODER it's pretty neat, the vocoder isn't all that great, but you can get quite a range of sounds from it |

get an MC-303 (not a TB-303) it'll do everything u need, imagine fruity loops in a box with knobs on |

MC-303 sounds a little too toy-like for some though - Good sequencer, but very digital sounding. I'd go for something like the Waldorf Pulse - They're dirt cheap second-hand these days - Something like that compliments a software setup perfectly being real analogue... Much deeper basses, much more presense in a mix, can do acid lines much more convincingly than any softsynth/digital box, much more hands-on... I'd certainly go for something analogue and see how you get on with it. |

Try and get a 2nd hand roland sh101 for some nice analogue sounds, the korg 05r/w is a small halfrack module I beleive. you need a midi keyboard to use it, (or midi out cable from pc and a sequencer).I was thinking of getting one, mainly because you can process external sounds through it(I beleive). I wouldn't bother with some of the cheaper units, but perhaps a EF303 or MC09 by roland would be good. I would also recommend the new UB series of mixers by behringer and perhaps one of those electribe boxes by korg(although I'm not a fan, many are). the yamaha smaller samplers are supposed to be quiet good, but again im not a fan,really you should save up a bit of money and get a decent 2nd hand akai or emu unit.preferbly an akai s3000 or above if you can afford it. also get a cheap akai mpc2000 if you find one, because they are great drum machines(you supply the drum samples from fx cds or from your own recordings/samples). very popular in the hiphop world, but great for electronic as well.the best bet for decent cheap gear is 2nd hand stuff.if its been well looked after and not used on the road out gigging, but in the studio, it should be almost as good as new and provide you with a great tool. |
