TaurusT Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I'm looking for some recommendations for buying a synth that I'll mainly use for Fish-era Marillion like minimoog D lead sounds. I don't want to use software such as NI Monark with a laptop - it'll be on stage and I prefer hardware in the way I have things set up. If it has a vocoder with mic function built-in that would be a big plus. Any recommendation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillearning Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 An obvious consideration would be the Behringer D. I had an original Mini way back when, and bought the Behringer earlier this year. Haven"t had an opportunity to compare it side by side with a Mini, but I like it so far. No vocoder, and only available as rack. But hard to go wrong for the $. Quote I would like to apologize to anyone I have not yet offended. Please be patient and I will get to you shortly.

If you can live without the vocoder, it is a super cost-effective and authentic option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRollins Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I'm still liking my Behringer D. Can't beat it for the money. Sooner or later I'll probably pick up another, just 'cuz.

Mr. Mojo Risin Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Now Behringer has the Poly D. That looks pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just-AB Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Check out the Dave Smith Mono Evolver Keyboard. I use one in my Floyd tribute, and it"s great. Sometimes through a Boss RE20 tape echo/spring reverb sim, which to my ears gives an amazing vintage feel too. I love the idea of a Mini or Voyager, or more recently the Poly-D, but I can"t afford a Moog and the poly-D"s lack of presets makes it a no go for me stage use - I'm too old for that much knob-twiddling in front of an audience!! We don"t play a huge amount, and I only really play on stage these days an no a home, but literally every time I play the Evolver I remember why I would never change the it. Doesn"t stop me lusting, but does stop me spending money unnecessarily.
