I currently own:
Korg MS-20 mini
Arturia MiniBrute
Novation Mininova
Roland JD-XI
These are all synths that were originally released within the last 5 years (MS-20 is a re-release). I am itching to get a new synth and I am paralyzed. The options out there are mind-blowing. The Moog Minitaur and Mother 32 look great, the Roland boutiques are cool, Dave Smith Mopho looks good, now Korg is realeasing the Minilogue, and we have the Yamaha refaces. I'm having trouble making a decision. And this doesn't even include software synths, which I don't like. Has there ever been a better time for synths?
Regards ...

Re: Golden Age of Synths?
Not to mention Elektron and Teenage engineering stuff! It's just that you have to sell your nipples on the black market to afford it. But, as a man, do I really need them?

Sure but: twisting nipples=painful, twisting knobs on an OP-1=pleasurable.

What I was implying was: sell nipples to synth companies to afford synth that has your own nipples for the control surface.
The Oroborus of consumerism continues to eat its own nipples.

Re: Golden Age of Synths?
Well after much research and youtubing I am leaning heavily toward the Mother 32. I've owned the MS20 for about 6 months and last night I tried the modular features for the first time. It was awesome! Some videos of the Mother 32 were amazing! This purchase may lead to some modular equipment.

Re: Golden Age of Synths?
pretty sure there already was a golden age (the o.g, synth explosion), making this the "silver age".
(my vote is for the mother 32)

Re: Golden Age of Synths?
I'll sell other things before these synths. Probably guitar pedals. I'm willing to go down the black hole. I had researched modular before and thought, "I can just run my other synths thru different pedals instead," but after messing with the ms20 I realized modular is a whole different animal. With both the possibilities are endless.Deltaphoenix wrote:Which will to lead selling the other synths. Come on down the rabbit hole.

Re: Golden Age of Synths?
I'd say the Golden Age of synths would have been the early 80's. So many beautiful analog machines.

Was there the variety back then? And obviously, there wasn't the digital presence.Meriphew wrote:I'd say the Golden Age of synths would have been the early 80's. So many beautiful analog machines.
