Yes... I dont want computer-synths/samplers... I'm strictly a hardware guy, and is that even more today than just a couple of weeks ago.
I just have to face it... I do not cope well with harddisk based recording... I'm returning to the way I used to make music, even before my analog-GAS period... the kind of music I do today is much better off with big workhorse digital synths, that I can hook up via USB and use in multi mode, so I'm doing quite a bit of changes right now.
I need polyphony, I need Multi timbrality and I need internal FX... I'm selling my Prophet 08 and Poly Evolver... keeping my Prophet 12 though, as it does fill a particular niche in my setup, even though it does not allow more than two part multitimbrality.
My goal is that every synth must be "on it's own", and simply connected to my 8 stereo channel RANE mixer... my MX400 is used as a single reverb processor for all channels as a master FX just in case it's needed.
So I am right now looking for a few hardware things... a KORG Radias, a Nord Modular G2 engine, A Electribe Sampler 2, A Nord Drum 3 and a V-Synth XT (yes again... I know).
I prefer USB since it's much more tight when using them multitimbrally, as USB is faster than MIDI.
I still like the sound of analog, but I realize, that the only thing it's really good for in my case, is with bass... so I may end up buying two Minitaurs someday, to have them set up in stereo.
It was trhe Roland Integra-7 that made me take this route... that machine is simply incredible... I'm also considering a Virus Ti2... and even a Nord A1.
