I’m not really a synth person; more looking for something that can easily make a variety of sounds (presets mainly, editability is not a big deal). I need to find a synth that is as small as possible to integrate to my live and studio setup which involves looping guitar and drum machine.
I had a try on a Roland GoKeys which has really playable keys and pretty decent sounds. But no Midi andnot even proper outputs. There are various little synths like monologue etc but they seem a bit limited to weird synthy single note sounds.
The cheap Casio/Yamaha keyboards have plasticky sounding samples. As far as I can see my best options are
Yamaha reface
Roland GoKeys
Korg Microkorg
is there anything else which is really small and portable (doesn’t have to have more than 25 keys or even full size keys)...? just something to play a bass line on and loop it, or add another texture to my loops.
if you own or have tried anything of that nature please let me know
(at the moment I have a Yamaha mm6 which is great. Ideally I want something with those sounds but about half the size)
thanks!
