What do I need to start with synths

[actual]

Oh most definitely. I'm not a particularly big fan of it, but yeah I'd say it's a classic. Wouldn't you?

[actual]

Well, at least a modern day classic.

That's not necessarily my definition of a classic. To me, the 'classicness' of a piece of gear can be judged just as much by factors like, whether it was a success at the time of release, what impact it had, innovation, the sound, 'being great', etc. How many people use Commodore 64's or Atari ST's today? Not nearly as many as the amount of people who used them when they were released. That doesn't make them non-classics.

Would you call the MicroKorg a classic?

Definitely. It was a budget synth with lots of features at a time when there weren't many options in its price range. Probably comparable to the old Moog Rogue in a lot of ways: cheap, not particularly amazing, but widely available and widely used.

Saying something's classic doesn't mean it's the "best"

So my 0-Coast and Mother 32 need another semi-modular pal. There are a lot now. Which one should I get?

[Psyre]

I do not own any semi-modular but my collaborator does and I try to keep an eye out. I really like his Plankton Electronics "Ants" but the first one I have considered myself has been the new Pittsburgh Modular Microvolt despite all the blue LED's

Both of your suggestions have caught my eye.

I'm not really up to date on this topic anymore but Dreadbox stuff looks great, I'd probably get an MS20 for the keyboard and the 2 oscillator + hipass+lowpass filter (or the desktop version if you don't want another keyboard)

edit: just saw you have one in your signature

Yeah, but need a Harvestman English Tear (& Eurorack) to sync the ms20 with my current semi-modules ...
