Anyone got one? played one? I've played with the MS2000B or whatever it's called (the bigger one), and I'm hooked. I'm not a big synth player....YET; so i dont wanna be spending loads of money. This is £250 and has electonics taken straight from the MS2000B. Its analogue, and it has a super-cool vocoder. Wire it up to sound system in my room and i'll be set I reckon.

Yeah I do realise that this is probably the wrong kind of forum to be posting in, but i'm guitar player turned synth player... i figure maybe there's more of us!

Bring on the spaced-out Synth rock.

P.S. Also i think i can plug the guitar into it aswell for ULTIMATE fun. i'll have to get reading. my friend with the MS2000B uses that with his guitar, and its amazingly cool 8)

back in the day I used to write dance music and wierdo synth stuff with my mates, so fed up with trying to get a band together was I.

I had a Yamaha midi keyboard, a Roland MC303 and an Emu Proteus, fed into Cubase, Soundforge and all that malarkey. It was ok, but I have developed a pathological hatred of MIDI now; its so much hassle, so many cables, just to play music. I didn't find it easy to be creative when I was constantly having to 'MIDI dumps' and all that. I always wanted the Elektron Sidstation or the Access Virus (you could run a guitar through that). Anyway, it was so nice to get back to just having a guitar, some effects and an amp, simple yet so many options! No longer having to worry about polyphony and portimentos...

My GCSE portfolio was funnily diverse though; an orchestral fugue, a bangin' hard house tune and a lead guitar performance of Rage Against The Machine's 'Know Your Enemy' :lol:
