First Hardware Synth (Advice).

[Robmobius]

Hi y'all,

I've decided to go the hardware synth route in attempting to make some D&B music. I'm just not all that happy with the Soft Synths Bass I've been getting. I'm still stuck in the "Worm Hole/Torque" days so that's the type of sound I'm trying to capture - Very dark, but big lush Bass sounds.

Anyway, I've been looking at a few synths, but I'm not sure which to go for. 3 spring to mind so far.... I should mention that I only have budget of about 1000 euro at max ($1200).

Waldorf Blofeld - Seems like a good "all round" synth. Not sure how it is a heavy Bass tho'. Good price too.
Access Virus TI Snow - Sounds lovely in the demos, not quite analog but very very nice. Heard some cracking sounds from it so far.
Tetra4 - Which was a bit of a wild card to be honest. I didn't think about it until someone thew me a link of a few really nice demos, and it sounds very lush indeed.

I'm not too bothered about it having a keyboard to be honest... as I can't really play.

So could anyone help me out as to which one, or is there any other synth out there that may do the trick?

Thanks!

Rob.

Cheers for the reply! Jeebus that's mighty cheap alright. So you think the Virus would be the best bet in any case?

Thanks,

R.
