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

2005-02-25 by Gene Schwartz

From your description, I'd rule out the G2 - you'd be pretty much just
working with presets, and the strength of the G2 is not in its presets.

Personally, I'd choose the Monomachine, but it comes down to the fact that
subjectively I much prefer the interface of the Monomachine, and also prefer
its sound. And that's the thing, is that based on subjective factors,
someone could recommend either one. The more specific you are about what's
important to you, the easier it is to make a recommendation that is more
objective.

Synths???



I just want to Have a synth that is inspiring to work with and not
insanely deep. I might spend up to 25 30 minutes tweeking a sound But
im not patient enough for a Synth like Absynth where you are building
the synth from scratch I like to work for my sounds But I also like to
make music as well!!!! I guess for me its probably a tossup between the
Virus TI or the Monomachine . Everyone who has a Monomachine seems to
like it allot and its cheaper than Virus TI But I cant make up my mind.
The Nord Looks Insanely Hard As far as the learning curve goes I dont
know????
