Access Virus
I use my Virus for most bass sounds. Great synth for bone shakin' sub bass and more in yer face patches as well. But it only does what its good at, and good bass sounds just fall out of it.
I have two tracks online which use the Virus for bass sounds.

if you want to hear what it can do. The Gospel track uses a gentle sub bass before the middle section breaks out with two bass sounds layered, one is filtered to give a more upfront harsh bassline.
I also just bought a Macbeth M3X which I used on Gospel but fairly well back in the mix. Love the M3X synth, what a sound!

That SMART guy.
Huh? Analog?? BEEEEEEEEP
They's all digital modeling synths pretending to be analog!
They all have there pro's and cons. It really depends on what sounds you like, and what you want to use it for. From what I have heard 'till know, I like the Nord Lead best. Haven't heard the nord modular and the novation line...

I sold my Moog
don't regret it. For the $400 in return, I bought some nice gear.
Why did I only get four bills? 'Cause it was only a Rogue
For what it's worth, I like my Mini-Korg MK-1 much better than my old Moog.
Gotta love real analog, but I love digital modeling too!
I bought the incredibly priced Yamaha AN200 and this is one sweet synth.
Lotsa tweakability for a fraction of what other modern modlers cost. I've got the world famouse AN-1X synth engine in a little box with knobs for all the parameters right on it's face.
The ability to tweak via PC isn't anything to sneeze at either.
All joy!

Yeah I was checking that piece a while back to Krakit, how's the sound, nice and fat or kida watered down? How does it sequence? Good portability?

All high marks. It's light and portable (desktop unit) and has a very decent sequencer built in (that I don't use
).
As for sounds, it's as good or better than units costing five times as much.
It's all user accessable, so you get to tweak your own patches and save them internally. Built in effects (like delay and phase shifting) and the interface is so easy to use that you'll be having fun right out of the box.
All this for around $300, pretty sweet.

Chriss you f***, where you been man? Still gots to walk to get to a PC huh, sucks man. Yeah I really think that that little box should complement the ole studio quite nicely, lookin for those Autechre/Boards of Canada/Aphex Twin rythmic FM sounds, pure nastiness, I love it. I've been mostly sapmlin my drum sounds with Gigastudio and using the waldorf attack (soft), oh there's of course the ever-useful TR 505, so those drums should be pretty useful, and hey it's definitely a plus that it's portable, can bring it to work and work wit it.

don't call me a fish!!
yea.. i'd get one too if i could afford it, you could bring it along anywhere and make patterns on it to incorporate them in the studio later... pretty sweet, and the sound is just as good as the old dx's... but with more polyphony.. doesn't get better than 'dis... or of course... a waldorf microwave or novation supernova II might kick the crap out of it, but who can afford those anyway, eh?

Access Virus Wladorf Micro Q
Using both these modules. To the guy who said Access gets killer bass, I second that. Also, he is right about the machine doing what it does but then again, all machines are like that. Sure some can imitate other instruments but in the end, every machine has its own distinct sound. Love both of these, use them for all kinds of music.

Most of those units aren't really analog, they're "modeled analog", i.e. digital synths that use software to specifically mimic analog synthesis.
Most humans can't tell the difference, though, so don't let too many people get picky on you.
I prefer the Waldorf. It's a direct descendant of one of the best digital synths ever, the PPG Wave.
For "real" analog, not much out there that's affordable being built new. You're better off buying an Oberheim Matrix-6 (if you want a keyboard) or a Matrix-1000 (if you want rackmount) really. But if you really want to go whole-hog pure analog, check out the Big Briar minimoog Voyager, the grandson of the original Minimoog and built by the original Bob Moog.
