What Should I Buy? /// Weekly Discussion - May 24, 2021

I like the sound of the Deepmind 12 a lot and I also really like the Hydrasynth but I don't know how sold I am on FM, however the Hydrasynth seems to be an absolute MONSTER at sound design and I love me some good sound design.

My first synth?

The Minilogue and Minilogue XD are a bit deeper engine-wise and would also be a good choice, because they're easy and fun to use and the sound creating options they offer strike a nice balance between simplicity and flexibility.

Price Point

That next synth purchase isn't going to make you happy.

Behringer Deepmind 12: Bought mine because it was cheap. It's kind of the "bastard child" in my current rig: I don't dislike it enough to sell it and it's quite useful, I just avoid using it.

Looking to buy new synth? ~1000 USD price range

the general verdict is that it's pretty overpriced for what it is. also the company seems to be the worst types of fart sniffers, I heard their customer support is terrible.

Connectivity

Hopefully Behringer will perfect the Deepmind. It’s a great machine but it MUST be totally reliable. Update - Had another Deepmind 12 delivered again it was faulty. It would not connect with my PC or iOS
