Re: Poly analog pads (the big question)

2008-05-27 by klstay

The Studio Electronics Omega can be had 2, 4, 6, or 8 all analog 
voices. Plus, you can add 303 and/or 2600 clone filters to those 
voices individually as you see fit. (Start with the 2 voice and add 2 
more as needed etc.)

The polydac on the ASM2 is available standalone and can do up to a 
four voice modular analog setup as long as you have the modules for 
that many voices and do not mind tuning it all... ;-)

Since you already have the controller the Prophet08 rack seems the 
least costly route 8 analog voices.
