| Something else to consider is the Novation synths. I own the Xiosynth and it's streets ahead of the SH-201 and positively mind-blowing for the £250 I paid for it new. The Xiosynth unfortunately can't be controlled by MIDI, though it makes a cracking MIDI controller itself (only has USB/MIDI out). The Xiosynth is the little brother of the Novation X-Station, I'm not sure if that has MIDI In or not, but I'm sure someone on here will know. If it does, I'd strongly recommend demo-ing it.
The Prophet 600 is a cracking piece of kit, though you will be lucky to get a good one for under £1000 now, the prices are starting to creep up and up. |
