What do you suggest for tweaking and jamming?

Post by pedrovieira99 »

What should I buy next?

Korg Monologue
Arturia Microbrute
Korg Kaoss Pad KP3+
Korg Kaossilator Pro+
Korg Voca Keys + something else
Anything else in the 300 euro price range

"Depends on what you want to do with it..."

I just want something new to play with, more for live playing, tweaking and jamming, and not so much for music production.

Let the discussion begin... :-)

Korg R3, Novation Ultranova, Yamaha MX49 or 61 keyboards.

Perhaps Ableton Live, for a clip-based approach, to control the other synths and bring new sounds, allowing loads of tweaking on the fly during a performance. Really needs a user interface like the Push, or MPC40 to launch the clips, and would bring the total outlay to more than your budget, but it'll be worth it. Sometimes it's worth spending more.

The R3 is really great. I suggest the minilogue or minibrute. Both have great interfaces for tweaking and playing live. The SH-201 or Mininova are great as well for the price range.
Korg R3, Roland SH-201, Roland MC-909, Novation Mininova, Novation Impulse 49, Korg EMX, and a bunch of VSTi's

Ended up getting a volca keys. Cute gadget, could not explore it to the fullest yet. I postponed the "bigger" investments to after Christmas... :-)
Thanks for your replies though, I'll be consider those other options in the future...!
