Well I say modern but the Nord Lead comes to mind. It is a 30+ year old keyboard.is that what you want as your "daily driver"? I would personally recommend a more modern VA as a primary keyboard. They are both nice, but not the easiest to deal with in terms of programming and reliability. use voice 1 to modulate voice 2 at audio rate), but you can't have everything I guess.Īltogether, a really nice synth - but definitely requires some kind of midi interface to get the most out of it.ĭaveholiday wrote:Having both owned a Six-Trak and a Split-8, I wouldn't really go that route given your situation. I do wish that along with the multi-timbral options you could cross-modulate the voices (i.e. It's got the basic programming flexibility that you would expect - 3 Envelopes, 1 LFO, Low pass filter. I've used this feature a lot for backing drones and sound effects in tracks. Voice stacking is really cool - being able to stack the six voices as multi-timbral patches is something that much more expensive analogs can't do (::cough:: Prophet 6 ::cough::). If you want to use it to jam with other midi gear with midi-clock you have to be rock solid with your timing or it will eventually fall out of sync. It is not a step sequencer - so you can't really clock it. It almost has kind of the feel of a big OP-1 in that you can make little self contained tracks. The on-board six-track sequencer / looper is fun to mess around with. I have a Novation SL Mkii and it's got more than enough knobs / sliders that I have knob-per-function access to the parameters, but it can be really tedious to program without some kind of midi interface. The Six-Trak is great if you have a midi controller or some other interface that you're already comfortable with. I don't have a Top-8, but I do have a Six-Trak and listen to and make similar music (Krautrock, Psych).
