Virus Ti2 + Prophet 8 ?

[chromatic]

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.

yeah i heard that saddly...
its really sad because it also can be used as a control surface for soft synth, it would have been great to have better quality pot...
maybe they should have done a 6 VOICES synth with better quality pots...

I understand what you mean.
I meant the prophet maybe have a different texture, and so i wondered for those who have it, if they think you can have on the virus the same kind of sound and then that the prophet would be overkill for someone who own a virus ti2 and then i should maybe take a Blofeld to complement the virus...

You could try a mopho.It looks like a block of cheese but is supposed to be a monophonic prophet basicly. For only 4 bills im thinking of picking one up. And the moog LP has great sounding oscilators and filters.

if you are talking about sounds keep in mind that virus gives you 4000 + of excellent sounds
i am sure that all of them are able to satisfy most of us
for example me , i am trying to make soundscapes , drones , experimental ambient atmosphere and more
polar sent me to the galaxies

I will look at the MOPHO i does look interesting in fact if then i can buy MOPHO + SOMETHING to complement the virus...

What about Norld lead 2X ? does it have a different character compared to the virus ?

no it doesn't
if you want something really different you have to use a time machine , and go 20 years back

I meant the caracter of each synth... like sometimes we say Virus is Dark sounding, Blofeld or fm synth can be very Bright...
To me the Prophet 8 sound seem "rich" so i meant that way ^^
