Virus Ti2 + Prophet 8 ?

[chromatic]

Hello...
I have a Virus ti and many Native Instrument plugs...

I love eighties sound and i make electronic music. I wonder wich Synth i could add to my setup that will be useful (even i allready have a virus) to have new or different textures...

I was wondering about the PROPHET 08 ? i was less impressed by the poly evolver but... just on video.
But maybe there is other cool synth in that price or less ?
At first a though about a little Waldorf Blofeld... but you know how it is.... you start to think about adding something small and then....little by little -_-
OR MAYBE you will tell me i dont need another synth wich i will respect too

if you love eighties check some old roland models ( second hand )

Yeah i love eighties sound, and erasure type of things, but i would like to stay away from CV/GATE lol
I would like a new analog or virtual analog who can compliment the Virus well.

ok
so my suggestion is go ahead for a moog

Actually in that price range, the Moog i could buy is a little phatty, iam not too much impressed by it and of course its Monophonic... wich is not a problem but the Prophet 8 is 8 voices...

BUT the blofeld seem also an interesting cheap piece of synth that could well complement the Virus...
But maybe in a different way compared to an ANALOG synth...
Or am i wrong ?

For peoples who have a Virus and a Prophet do you feel you could get almost same sound from your Virus compared to prophet ?

The only thing is that the knobs on a Prophet suck big time quality wise.

I read that even the new ones straight out of the box come with shit quality potmeters....if you compare it with a Moog its like comparing a Kia Picanto and a Mustang.

Just to inform you that Vince Clark uses TI...
If i had to compliment the Virus with a synth that would be an analog beast such as a Moog Voyager like Liam of The Prodigy...
I also like the Spectralis 2

yeah i saw that and its quite cool for all virtual analog i think that famous composer use them now...

so ok the Nord lead would not add anything...

still i can look for MOPHO + bLOfeld or Little Phatty ?
i saw earlyer today some video and sound sample of the Mopho it sounded good for a cheap mono synth... i liked the Prophet lead sounds someone said the Mopho is like one voice of the Prophet 8 ? so then lead and sound bass that i can achieve with mopho will be same as on the prophet 8 ?

Blofeld seem cool too but maybe a little Arsh sounding...

The little phatty could be cool but i dont know if it that much better than Mopho that it should cost 4 times the price or mopho... ?

you think only way to add something to my setup is a Moog voyager ? lol its quite expensive... :S

Actually, today i had free time so i listened to many sound sample and video on youtube (keyboardwizaed), and the MOOG LITTLE PHATTY does indeed sound quite fat and organic... it really seem to be able to complement the Virus and give some round bass for my mix, i will check it out more.

It seem the mopho is good deal as its cheap but the sound is not as phat as the moog...

what do you think ? Virus ti2 + mOOG PHATTY + bLOPHELD ? OR i can skip the blopheld ? (actually its because i was gonna buy a prophet 8 and his price is same as MOOG + BLOPHELD).

Thanks guys for you help
