Which one? For the sake of theoretical questions …let’s assume you could have any synth…not just what you already own.

    Does the Erika Synths Black System iii count? It’s sold as one big alien monster…

    Otherwise, the Twisted Electrons MEGAfm.

    I have one of these already!

      Those look sick. I haven’t delved much into patching but the black system iii looks like a ton of fun. Haven’t seen the MEGAfm. How would you describe it?

        Well, the MEGAfm uses two Sega Genesis frequency modulation sound chips so, if you’ve ever played one of them you’ve got an idea of some of it’s capabilities and sounds. This brings it to a whole new level.

        As you might imagine, finding working hardware from the early 90’s is not that easy so, these are a fairly rare item. I feel like I need to get a vault just for it. It’s definitely not seeing many, if any, live shows. It’ll be staying in my studio and be used for recording authentic chiptunes.

        I’ve got an older version with the older, grittier chips. I haven’t played it actually as I’m still just getting set up. Tomorrow, or this weekend, I’ll have the rest I need. Really, it’s just a proper MIDI cable. Lol

        The Black Systems iii looks sick. It’ll be a few years before I can afford that thing. Lol.

    I’m new and no synth expert, but i’ve to say that the versatility i found in Behringer’s DeepMind12 pleases me

      We have a DeepMind 6 and have it listed for sale. I just can’t get past menus. I would rather have stuff easy access. No complaints with sounds from it, though.

        Yeah, i understand but the thing is that if you want to access more stuff than what’s on the front panel… you got to access menus and submenus… In the DeepMinds though there’s just the “edit” page of every section, it’s rather difficult to have to get past that, or the first page of the mod matrix
