Help me choose a synth

Thursday July 21, 2022. 04:54 AM , from Gearslutz
Hey all! My fav kind of thread.

Scenario: I own a Prophet 5 rev 4. I love it. I make synth wave/blues rock/funk music. Kinda a weird combo but that's my thing. Talking Heads, Prince, MJ, Hendrix, Zeppelin are some big influences that come through in what I'm doing. But also some modern stuff like the Weeknd and Dua Lipa.

What sound do I want? So I've been really into the Weeknd's Dawn FM. I assume it's hard to tell what actual synths are being used, but let's take those tones as a reference point. The Prophet 5 does lots of stuff in that realm but there are some Juno-ish and other sounds in there, and I'm sure plenty of modern synths too.

I'm looking at the new Juno X. Seems pretty sweet and like a good compliment to my P5, plus I love the layout and hands on aspect. Have also considered the System 8.

I want a hardware synth (Im a musician and player first and I don't program stuff so other than an arp I don't care about sequencers or tons of extra features). No software synth suggestions please! I don't want to really go above 2500ish.

Hit me with ideas/insults I'm ready!
