| re: the mks-8- + mpg-80.
i had the combo for a long time. the MKS-80 is a great sounding synth (i liked it a lot) but the mpg-80 controller is a POS. the faders are small and the resolution sucks. you don't know where your parameters are at when you change patches. so you're flying blind a bit. i found the mpg-80 largely useless and annoying.
if someone gave me $4K for synths i'd get some combination of what's below:
waldorf microwave XT ($550)
future retro XS ($1300)
elektron monomachine MKII ($1400)
then you'd still have cash leftover to get a juno or virus C
just my 2 cents. i'd say if you are set on getting an analog poly go for the andromeda or a jupiter 6 and then add the europa midi upgrade |
