<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>For background, I'm a guitarist but always wanted to get a synth. I was in a shop and tried a korg monologue and a minilogue and they seemed like a lot of fun. I want to stay away from computers (and at least for now having to program anything using a computer) and want some sort of physical control for every feature (or as much as possible) as I'm not a fan of menu diving, and to help me learn how to use a synth. Ideally it'll be polyphonic with a sequencer. Any suggestions? Budget is around 400 euro and I'll be buying second hand, depending on what's available.</p> <p>It doesn't necessarily have to be purely analogue, and I'm looking for the best bang for buck in terms of features and maybe build quality. Size wise, something small that I can stick on my desk (like the mentioned korgs) would be cool. </p> <p>Effects are a plus but not a must, as I could always use my line6 hx stomp for effects.</p> <p>For example, there's a roland system 1 and a Novation bass station 2 for sale locally for 300 euro, or a minibrute for 200. A bit left field, but I love the rhodes sound of the Yamaha reface CP, so I could maybe use that as a controller with a volca keys? Etc etc</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/FreePork"> /u/FreePork </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/smzkyw/best_first_hardware_synth_minilogue_xd_vs/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/smzkyw/best_first_hardware_synth_minilogue_xd_vs/">[comments]</a></span>
