While we're on the subject of hardware, would anyone care to provide some samples of the SH-101 in action? I know steevio and a few other guys on here have them.

Some second hand synths, I'm thinking an SH-101 if I can find a good deal and also a JP-8000 or virus. Together with my Nord 2x I should be pretty much set synthwise for quite a while. Next would be a good pair of monitors.

Nord 2x is 4 part multi-timbral. You can have 4 separate mono outputs or 2 stereo outputs.

Thanks for these!

It's looking like I'll have between $1500-2000 to spend (selling off some DJ gear). My goal is to get 1 or 2 good, versatile synths, preferrably po...

Would the NI Pro 53 be a good indication of the types of sounds to expect from a Prophet 08? The Pro 53 is meant to be a Prophet 5 emulator. I don't really have any opportunity to demo a prophet 08 anywhere, but I do like the Pro 53.
