Now that baseball season is over, maybe I can get some work done! I’m really having a hard time deciding on what to get myself for Christmas. There are a couple of synths I’ve been drooling over all summer long. The first one is the Moog Slim Phatty. It’s a monophonic, true analog synth. The name pretty much tells you all you need to know: it’s a Moog! It’s going to have that Moog sound that most VAs tell you they mimic. I played the Little Phatty last week at Guitar Center. It sounded really nice clean (no effects). My wife, however, thinks it sounds old. Well, duh, of course it sounds “old” it’s analog!

The other synth I’m drooling over is the Waldorf Blofeld. The only thing is, I already have the Largo soft synth. From what I understand, the engine is basically the same. So I don’t think I can justify spending another $700 for a synth that isn’t going to be that different.

So…what will I do, what will I do? I wish they’d just re-release old synths. I’d buy myself an Alesis Andromeda and be done with it!
