Re: [newmellotrongroup] OT modern synth recommendations

Mark,
You need a nice Moog Satellite, and I'd be happy to sell you one. It's real analog, and real inexpensive. Only one oscillator, though. It's the perfect compliment to your Mellotron. It's versatility is only equaled by it's price.

Not so much a reply as a related request for information. I am thinking of buying an analog synth at the moment I'm using a Microkorg which I am very happy with but I think I would like a true analog synth. I've been looking at the Dave Smith Tetra and the Mopho and I am hoping to try out the Moog Slim Phatty soon. Anybody have any recommendations?

Dear all

It looks like I'll be playing abroad later this year, without being able to
take my regular rig (Jupiter-8, Taurus pedals, generic fake Hammond and
piano). I'm hoping to be able to use my Pro-One (which will fit in a
suitcase) to fake the Taurus and a mono synth patch I need, but I'll have to
hire something locally to cover everything else, i.e. overdriven Hammond,
piano and synth strings. I'm almost entirely ignorant of modern synths, so
does anyone have any recommendations for something I can ask for? Assuming I
get any choice, that is :-)

Many thanks in advance,

Andy T.
