I've had a lot of different synths in my life.
Lartely, I've had a whole lot of fun lately just playing with a single groovebox, specifically a Novation Circuit.
Although I have had much more complex rigs (I've built several eurorack modules from kits, and owned several keyboards, groove boxes, and other tools), just having a super simple little box and trying to get as much as I can out of it has been a useful exercise of the last two months.
If the goal is to "make music", I'd probably start with a groove box. If the goal is to have fun making weird noises, I'd probably get either a Moog Mother or a Behringer Neutron... both of those are kind of gentle introductions to modular synths.
- dfischer 6y agoI just picked up two Teenage Engineering synths based on the reviews of unique UX and just having fun. I was really eyeing the Moog subharmonicon and or drummer. Would either of those compliment well with Teenage Eng op-1 and op-z?
- scarecrowbob 6y agoTo be honest, if were just starting out with those two instruments, I personally just focus on those two instruments and try to get to where I can do complete performances on them. They seem like pretty deep pieces of equipment, and as I get older I find myself enjoying the limitations of specific device and getting around them.. That said, both subharmonicon and drummer feel like they would be really fun, though :D I would havea hard time producing a complete work of music with any of the Moog stuff by itself. They are all great intros into modular synth though.
- dfischer 6y agoYeah, I just want to have fun. I know it's a lot already but I crave that deep sound. Techno go boom. lol
- scarecrowbob 6y agoThat's wholly relatable.
