I didn't say anything about you prefering the sound of the brute's filter, just that the sequencing and patch memories are in my opinion big advantages of the Korg (Monologue, the Minilogue is a poly so a different beast).

Not to drag it out, but it's kinda like saying an active bass with a 3 band eq is better than a passive bass with a simple tonestack, but we all know it isn't that simple.

Re: Thinking about Synth--Help!
Bumping to say I got a used Microbrute
It'll arrive next week.
I've spent a large portion of the day reading about synth and even modular stuff ...
And watched I Dream of Wires...
I have a feeling the Brute will be a gateway drug.

Re: Thinking about Synth--Help!
So it's been a little while...how did it go with the microbrute?
I'm about to either get one of those or the monologue.

Sold the Brute a few weeks ago and now I have a Kilpatrick Phenol and BeatStep Pro. I am going to learn modular synthesis and sequencing with these two devices and then sometime in the Fall I'll likely go the Euro/Case route. But it will be a very slow process. To get a full voiced 6U case...prob $3-3,500...honestly, it'd probably take me a good year or more to fill it. But, I'm excited to learn in baby steps.
It's been so fun thus far.

Looks like the bug bit you good haha. I have no intention of getting into modular/euro but it's fun vicariously living through all you guys who are.

Has anyone used the Korg Volca Keys? It looks pretty cool, and used its borderline inexpensive.

A bunch of dudes on here use the Volcas
Pretty sure you could find something in the search.

Haven't tried either but if I wanted one I'd look at the volca FM first.Stinkbug wrote:Has anyone used the Korg Volca Keys? It looks pretty cool, and used its borderline inexpensive.

Volca FM is insanely cool. It's become my main synth until an OP-1 gets ordered. Even the indepth parameter editing is quite and intuitive. The FM and the Kick are in a league of their own.
