Posted at April 14, 2006, 2:13 am: This is probably a pretty ridiculous question but I am a little unsure. In short, I am a guitar turned key player who is looking to add more synth sounds to my band's "sound". Not that I haven't been playing funky old electronic keybaords for a while, but rather I would like to augment the lo fi orchestra sound with some nice sound effects and weird sounds that only a synth can give ya. I have toyed with a few soft synths and I love em, but I hate playing through a computer. I would like a hardware unit and I am getting a chunk of change sometime in the next month or two. Here is where I need your help - of course everyone goes crazy for Moog synths and I hear nothing but rave reviews about the Voyager. My problem is - it's a monosynth and it's a good amount of money to boot but still can't get over some of the glowing reviews I see on it. I'm sure it's a good synth, but is it for me - being mono? I play indie rock music - more melodic stuff, laid back at times. I really want a synth to "fill in the cracks" so to speak of a guitar/electromechanical key rhythm. It's not really electronic music I am going for, but a good organic and rich sound. I hear the Moogs are very "musical" and that appeals to me too because I like to play instruments rather than just hit keys that produce a sound. I've toyed with synths with more polyphony but they either felt weird to play(kind of cold) or they just seemed too cluttered. It seems like I never have found a poly synth I really like because more than a key or two is always too much for a band that wants to use synths for rhythm and sound shaping duties. So with that in mind, how useful is a mono synth for a guy like me? Am I really looking for a poly synth but just don't know how to use one? Does anyone else here use a monosynth for rock music? I know of a few bands I really like who use them and it's so odd because the parts they make for the song are so subtle but really make it sound more polished but maybe it's just the arrangement/band and not the synth I am marveling at. Anyway, just confused - maybe you guys could kindly set me straight. Thanks!!!!
