![]() It’s interesting that those were the three mentioned in the thread too. I often recommend that new players check out those three synthesizers before investing in vintage hardware. Get the free templates from Creative Spiral and/or buy his excellent sound banks which give the Rev a more vintage quality. The Rev 2 is a great choice for live players for its light weight, great sound, great feeling keybed and generous polyphony while supporting splits and layers. If you need a truly great analog synth that goes where none have gone before, get a Polybrute. If you need a truly great digital synth that can go into analog territory, get the Hydrasynth. I was able to recreate some Prophet 6 patches with startling accuracy and oomph. It can be very delicate and articulate, but it can also be a snarling beast. I think you can just try inserting the Arturia component (Minimoog V, ARP 2600 V, etc) into the FX Bin of an audio track, and then make a routing assignment for the Input to pick up the source of the audio being routed to it, if the particular Arturia synth accepts audio input. ![]() Sound wise, they are all quite different from each other but if you can only have one, I’d say the Hydrasynth by a long shot has the most range in terms of sound because of the variety of waveforms combined with Mutants and then a bunch of great filters. Don’t forget that the Hydrasynth is also about half the price of the Polybrute, while having a more substantial and expressive keyboard and a better ribbon. I would say out of the gate, the Rev 2 starts from a place with the most oomph but the other two can get there with the right programming. Celebrated by the most respected musicians over the last thirty years, it is capable of creating amazing sounds thanks to the exclusive ARP technologie. I’m lucky to own a Polybrute and a Rev 2 in addition to a Hydrasynth. The ARP2600 is one of the finest analog synthesizers ever made.
