Cheap Analog Synth?

zippyzero's picture

I know someone here can recommend a few different analog synths...

Something small enough to prop near a drum set or tight quarters...

Something that has an organ setting as well as strings...

Something I can purchase without taking out a second mortgage...

 Thanks!

Re: Cheap Analog Synth?

you want a real analog synth or one of the new modeling synths. I love the Novation stuff. I have a K-Station that sounds amazing. They have a new board out now called a X-Station that looks like this.

It costs about $500

I also own a Korg MS-2000b that sounds pretty authentic.


Korg's new line of synths sound great. The MicroX is cool stuff.


here are some links

and even though they are very expensive I have to give a nod to the Nord stuff, it sounds awesome

Can you plug it directly into an amp or DI?
