Re: [newmellotrongroup] OT modern synth recommendations

You are probably right Frank, they seem to make some very great sounds, nice demo below. However I think one 1970's keyboard is enough and I really do want a couple of oscillators and at least an arpegiator if not a sequencer built in, polyphonic would be nice as well, although not essential.

PS If I change my mind I'll be in touch.

Mark, 
You need a nice Moog Satellite, and I'd be happy to sell you one. It's real 
analog, and real inexpensive. Only one oscillator, though. It's the perfect 
compliment to your Mellotron. It's versatility is only equaled by it's 
price.
 
Frank

I am  thinking of buying an analog synth at the moment I'm using a Microkorg which I  am very happy with but I think I would like a true analog synth. I've been  looking at the Dave Smith Tetra and the Mopho and I am hoping to try out the  Moog Slim Phatty soon. Anybody have any recommendations?
