Guess I could've put that in a PM. Oops...sorry about that. For some reason I thought that's what I was doing, but I just found out otherwise.

Another thing is all the knobs. And not to mention the sequencer. The Prophet 12 doesn't have a sequencer. The Prophet 12 is awesome too. Don't get me wrong. I would get both immediately if funds permitted. I just think that maybe that other $1000 you'd be saving by getting the 08 would be better spent elsewhere. I'm not sure what kind of equipment you're using or whatnot, but my issue is not enough inputs into my computer. I'm working with 2, and I have a room full of synthesizers, drum machines, guitars, etc...the list goes on. And I'm stuck with 2 inputs. It's pretty silly. Also, not sure what DAW you're using. I'm just assuming you're starting from scratch. If you have any questions let me know. I'm currently a Sound Design student. I'm not a professional, but I'm constantly surrounded by them at school. I hope this helped a bit.

***It wouldn't let me send this in one message, so this is the 2nd part. Oops..

Hey, I read one of your threads about which synth you're thinking about buying. I actually didn't have a gearslutz account until today. I felt compelled to contact you and tell you to ignore all the **** tards. Don't let them get you down. You have to learn somewhere. I'm kind of annoyed with the way people mindlessly debate everything around here. I believe that most synthesizers are awesome in their own ways. While some are clearly better quality than others, it's really what you do with them that stands out. I'm not really sure the type of music you're going for. I know you aren't an analog purist, but after reading numerous posts I think you should definitely go for the Prophet 08. It seems like you've been teetering back and forth between that and the Prophet 12. The 08 is a great synth. I don't own it, but I would in a heartbeat if I had the funds. One thing about it is polyphony.

How Do I actually post a thread?
