I cant make up my mind.. Im either gonna buy the MKS 80 with the programmer or a Prophet 08 Module.

I tested the prophet just when it came out, and it sounds great. Although I already own the DSI Poly Evolver..

I want that PHAT potential. The raw old sounds from the past. I want to be able to do deep and raw electro basses while at the same time do synth pads and cheesy sounds from the past (think Miami Vice or whatever..)

I see all that in the MKS, even though I have no hands on experience from that synth at all. I cant test the MKS either since it would be an overseas purchase. So simply gotta make up my mind and get it, then live with it. :-)

And its been a while since I owned a roland synth. currently only have the tb303 from roland.. so it would be fun with something from them. ;-)

Jesus.. this synth buying business is hard sometimes. ;-)
