Strange thread, I know...
Which synth would you like to be ?
- AMR is a big black piano, playing without stopping.
Well,
For starters, piano is not a synth.
Still, my favourite one to operate is the Korg Mono/Poly (1979?), but the one that I feel can be explored more and still provide fun is the Yamaha CS6x, which is still my daily workhorse.
The piano is magical because it's so analog... but I also like guitar, mandolin, bass, flutes and so forth... The easier it makes my life, the better, but nowadays you can acomplish it all with a synth, my point is that I prefer to cut short wereas others prefer to have something that cut trough it all, even taking much more time and effort.
A Steinway is way more efective on my brain than a CS80, live... on tape, that's a whole new ball game though...
So if I were a synth, and I'd rather not be, I'd be a Korg Oasys because it can grow on itself - still, it can't smoke cubans, drive fast, in style and safe, or enjoy great alcoholic nectars nor can't it have a delightfull time with a delightfull women (not the way I like, anyway) - (the CS6x can expand too, but with hardware boards only - the new piano one's are atonishing, though I still prefer acoustic - but I still love and use the originals DX (sine synth) and AN (analog moddeling) boards I bought with my 1st Cs6x ones heavily - also bought a CS6r to use live).
The new Moog is winking at me... but I have other priorities for now.
Kind Regards,
AMR
