Simple Analog Synth for a newbie on synth

jellyfishfuzz · Post by **jellyfishfuzz** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 11:32 am

I play mostly guitar and want to get into a synth. I like things simple. Im not really good with complicated electronical gadgetry. I was playing a sub phatty at the guitar center and that thing is crazy cool but i don't know if i want to fork out that kind of dough. Something simple that may do stuff like the sub phatty that i can run through my Echorec, DMM, and Rams Head. I really like stuff like Lauri Spiegel and NIN stuff. I was thinking of just getting an ipad and try all the apps. Coolness.

I just bought a Minibrute. $499. Works great, I kind of wish I'd just invested in a beginner modular system, but oh well.... but the price point for a synth with cool knobs and shit is really cheap these days..... I think the Microbrute is even cheaper than a Microkorg, which is awesome....

Would a synth sound alright through a 70s Super Reverb?

synths sound awesome thru amps.

Just be careful of any crazy bass you pump through guitar speakers.
But yeah, it sounds good.

Do the Korg Volcas count? Cheap, compact, analog I think.

if you wanna go real simple & vintage & not too expensive look for a yamaha CS-5. my first synth, very simple, fat as hell low end filter.

My first synth was a Novation Bass Station and I had a lot of fun with it

Running it through my pedalboard blew my mind...

Plus Thom Yorke rocks one.

Yeah!

Yeah the Novation Bass station sounds good and isnt that expensive. And if Thom Yorke Rocks it.

i haven't looked but i bet the oldie bass stations have gotten cheaper due to the rerelease...

Yeah the old ones go for like 250 and the new ones 350-400. SO not to much of a difference. Not many of the old ones going on the ebay though
