Title: The perfect mate for my REV2
Post by: RonGerrist on July 26, 2018, 09:14:08 AM: I recently switched to analog hardware again from plugin-only. So I bought a REV2 and will probably buy more.
The first item I'm thinking about buying is a Roland SE-02. It sounds really good. Also the Mother-32 is nice but only has 1 oscillator. I just want a good bass synth.

What to you recommend?

Also considering the Sub Phatty

Sub Phatty sounds amazing and is more versatile than the Minitaur and has more functions accessible from the panel. Only 16 presets though and quite a few functions accessible only via convoluted shift functions, and a short (2 octave) keyboard.

The Korg Monologue is worth a look too. It’s loads of fun and sounds great. The envelope options are more limited than other synths but it is still capable of great sounds.

If you have more budget or table space, then perhaps consider the sub 37 which is duophonic and has more features. However for my requirements, the Minitaur is enough and I like it being compact, having preset memory and almost 1 knob per function.

Sub Phatty it is!! If that is not enough bass I don't know anymore :-) It produces also very nice non-bass sounds.
