Hardware synth noob looking for options
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi, </p> <p>I'm looking into hardware synths just to play dawless for fun and make sounds with more hands-on control before launching Ableton. </p> <p>I initially wanted to make a solid smaller setup to play around dawless, like a Digitakt, minilogue XD and a Blofeld perhaps but now I'm actually considering just picking a main synth I'll use for actual playing, like a Prologue 16 which seems just up my street and then expanding later. </p> <p>I can even stretch to a Prologue 16 + a Blofeld Keys since I've got a good deal on that in mint condition. Or maybe something other in a similar price bracket but I can just stay with the Pro 16 on its own for now. Considered Prologue 8 but I'd think I'd really benefit from more voices and 61 keys since I have some piano basics and it also opens up more possibilities with voice stacking etc. </p> <p>I mainly make dub techno/ambient as a hobby and some other electronic genres for fun, I'm not a sound design expert at all so I think something as clearly laid out as a Prologue would be a great way to dip my toes. Below is the teaser for my last EP, just to give an idea: </p> <p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YAzgAUDHjGQ">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YAzgAUDHjGQ</a></p> <p>I'll add a Digitakt a few months down the line, probably. </p> <p>Also happy to be talked into cheaper gear
</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/ShizukuPL"> /u/ShizukuPL </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/u578le/hardware_synth_noob_looking_for_options/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/u578le/hardware_synth_noob_looking_for_options/">[comments]</a></span>
