Think about a DSI Evolver Desktop.He has more Features(Sequencer for external gear,Delay,outputhack,highpassfilter,2digital/2analog OSCĀ“s) as a Mopho but of course mopho is a mopho.He sounds different(like a Kettenraucher) but you get more out of an evolver.
But you can do nothing wrong with DSI and a Virus combination.
The Waldorf sound is a matter of taste i think.He sounds good of course but for my infected ears to harsh
What gear also?
hmmm Nordrack 1,2? or an effectproccesor like this beast:
