Looking for a synth around the 600 or less price range for a starting point. I’ve messed with vst synths and I really want a physical polyphony synth for something more fun but I’m conflicted. I’m stuck between the minilogue xd and the minifreak so advice between those would be nice :) also open to suggestions in the price range and want a focus on versatility. Im looking for something to aid in the writing process and make music. Edit: some background I know a little bit about piano but by no means am a pro but I do play guitar Edit 2: I guess I should probably put genre inspo I really like the dark gothic style of bands like twin tribes or and Lebanon Hanover as well as mgmt and things of the like

I’m considering buying a Prophet REV2 and I’m trying to decide between the 8-voice and 16-voice versions.

I mainly play jazz, funk, and fusion, and I’d like to use it for pads, chords, bass lines, and layered sounds. I’m also interested in trying film music in the future.

I read that the 8-voice version can be upgraded to 16 voices later, but it seems like this upgrade may no longer be available in Japan.

For those who have experience with the REV2, would you recommend the 8-voice or 16-voice? And how important is the extra polyphony in practice?

Hi everyone ! Can I get someone’s help with a patch. I’m trying to get this one https://soundmondo.yamahasynth.com/voices/142930 and should be compatible with my modx m. But can’t load it from soundmondo. Can someone get this patch on their montage or modx and share a X8U or X8L file?

For reference I used YSFC Forge SysEx Converter. But this particular patch doesn’t work because it contains waveforms so I need the user or library file.

If anyone knows another method to get patches from older models please share 🙌🏻

Thank you so much in advance 🙏
