Re: [elektron] Mono Machine or Virus or Nord G2 Modular Synths???

2005-02-25 by Christopher Mitchell

If money were no object, I'd buy all three (obviously) because they 
fill different niches.  I own a monomachine and a virusC (indigo2) and 
they're very different, my friend also has a Nord Modular (1) and 
MicroMod... very different.

It depends I think on what your interest is as far as programming.  The 
MnM has the sequencer which is unmatched, and the closest competitor in 
these three would be to setup some step sequencers in the Nord.  The 
Virus series is really quite nice, whether you get the TI or a B or C 
(which can be had at much more reasonable prices, since we all know 
that money *is* an issue or we wouldn't fret about which to buy)...  
Great sounds in a flash, and nice interface to the programming.

I'd really like to get a Nord G2 because I like the programming style.  
Between a MachineDrum, MonoMachine and the Indigo2, I don't know if I 
could ever justify it, though... (especially not with a baby coming 
hah.)

give some more specifics about what you want to do and maybe we can 
solicit some more specific answers.
