i've been a synthesist for almost 20 years now and have had the good luck to work with many many of the more desirable synths that people give kidneys for (e.g. tb-303, moogs et. al.) i have to say all this talk about the ms2000 and its very low price got me interested.
so i traipsed down to my local music store and spent about 1/2 hour playing the presets and modifying them...
all i have to say is WOWWOWOWOWOW!! This synth is so usable and sounds delicious!! I've not had an analog synth in a long long time and immediately I got that warm and fuzzy feeling I used to get with my old analogs.
The interface is excellent...it is a creampuff to make your own sounds out of the already excellent presets...
the bass patches kick and the pads are sweet. no synth can do all things but I do believe that any synthesist worth his or her salt needs to have at least one ANALOG synth to just get into.
What a joy to do sound design that doesnt take a 300 page manual and 3 levels of menu navigation to program.
sure the knobs are tiny and kinda cheap looking...so what?!??!?
it doesnt affect the sound at all and isn't that the reason why we're synthesists in the first place!?!?!?
i'm getting mine right after I get paid!!!
AWESOME!!!
