No further processing, just raw, melancholic vibes. Is this a modern classic? It might not be as fat as a Moog, but it definitely sits in its own characterful corner. The built-in analog delay sounds incredible as well. Still a great budget synth in my opinion, also compact enough for live setups.

Hey all, I've just uploaded a free guide for anyone that's interested in starting out with hardware. It covers all the essentials plus gear recommendations. You'll find it in the 'Classroom' section under 'Resources' as a free download.

I've put alot of effort in hiding all cables in my studio. It's great untill you need to move stuff around. I'm too lazy for that so I just buy new wallwart adapters each time 😅 Universal adapters work well though, as long as I don't lose those pesky barrel connectors. 😄

I believe my first snths where the little hand held Korg yellow KORG Kaossilator2 Seequencer Synthesizer (testing the waters) and my second was a Moog Sub Phatty. both still sound great. Happy to report just ordered my Stylophone CPM DF-8. :-) and my rings clone is in stock, so should be heading my way.

I'm curious, what synth did you start out with? Mine was the Waldorf Blofeld which my dad bought for my 16th birthday. I replaced the screen and encoders, but other than that it works perfectly fine to this day.
