right i need a synth for my band. i am playing bass at the moment and want to augment the sound with some bass synth sounds, maybe some pads and tweaked out stuff.
i have some analog synths, but don't want to take them out live. i want something with the same amount of knobs as an analog, small, polyphonic and tough.
the microkorg has been coming to mind. but whenever is see bands with them they sound shit, although they have the ms2000 brain in which i quite like.
any other more interesting propositions are welcome. i haven't got much cash, but would like to buy something soon as we need to gig asap.
cheers

you already have an oxygen 8 or similar controller dont you? how about connecting that to a nord micro modular?
you could get all types of fat bass coming from that. it has 99 memories so you could fill it with patches and tweak them from your controller.

I'd say yay for the micro modular too. It even has 127 memories!! You could also have some lower-cpu patches to have polyphony, but if you want fat bass, there is PLENTY of that, and you can program your own weird FX, and even vocode or whatever.

ah 127 memories, my bad! ( dont own one - just used to borrow my mates one a lot...
as manuel said, micromod is wicked for adding nasty pre-filter distortions/eqs etc to synths as well as create pads and FM synths etc to use live too.
its a lovely little workhorse synth.

yeah a micro mod would be good, but i would need a laptop to edit. and in a rehearsal room
i can't be arsed patching stuff on a laptop. i need instant.
ms2000b would be the don i guess a little bigger than what i was thinking.
so how much do you want for it loz?

quip: the great thing about the micromod is, you patch at home when you feel like it. then you just pack the nord and you have all the stored patches on it just waiting to be touched by your greasy little fingers to produce massive tones.

I do use a micro for this purpose in one of my bands. I've built lots of synth patches. They usually do very specific things (like bass, pad, lead, etc) and a few choice parameters to tweak on the three knobs. Especially useful is the ability to assign multiple parameters to knobs.
Also lol @ well weapon. Sugar ape!
