hi, thanks for the reply.

>It's OK, but I think you can get better if you ONLY need those basses.

basses are probably the biggest need but certainly not the only want.
my K5000 taught me what a real synth can be and i have become
spoiled by it. now i only want to get synths that are versitle and
interesting.
the next big synth i get will probably be a waldorf microwave xt but its
going to be a while before i can afford that. im sure the sid will happen
long before then.

>Try a Waldorf Pulse, Novation Super BassStation or Korg Prophecy...

yeah, i've thought about the pulse. i have never tried a prophecy but i've
checked out the Z1. the analog models sounded cool but kind of soul-less.
i get it would sit great in a mix but the tonal character of the synth just
didnt
seem unique enough to me.

in the prophecy's defence, i saw front line assembly using one and they
were getting some wild sounds out of it. however, wasnt able to see
if they were using it for basses too.

the only demo i have heard of the bass station is the one on novations
site. i'd like to hear more.

on the more expensive end of things, i'd love to get a supernova
some day. its not as unique souding as the sid or the XT but
i really dug its lush tone. kind of a comfortable surounding feel.

>Well, then the SIDStation might be the right thing for you. I'm not sure,
but I
>think the Super BassStation also has an audio in, and the Waldorf Pulse
Plus also
>has an external in.


i'll have to check into them. i cant remember how much a super bass station
sells for but i think i can get a used pulse+ for around the same price as
the sid.
i gotta say though, right now i think the sid is my current pick. it just
seems so
interesting. going by the mps's on elektrons site, the sid almost seems like
it
has a life of its own.

thanks!
