its a matter of taste, the korg filters are quite aggressive, but i do like them.

yeah they are quite agressive but if you get your hands on korg´s filters you don´t need to ask ever again "how they did the basic channel´s chords"

i know youtube isn't that good for synth demos but you can tell this is well worth £450. look at the features and interface!

steve bug used it on loads of his music and i always hated his sound, so its something that never interested me.

i suppose steve bug isnt the first person who springs to mind when i think 101. (i can think of some nice chicago house tunes)
it was such a popular synth, that thats why its emulated so much in software / virtual analogues etc.

if you are borrowing one make sure you borrow a midi-CV converter or you wont be able to do much with it.

I think Mathew Jonson got 2-3 in his studio to get them in series

i want something that can create nice round tones... sine waves, triangle or square ideally as thats what i tend to use the most.

no one said you should get an sh-101. it was only a suggestion.
i not that thrilled about vintage either.
you mentioned the mono lancent yourself and theres also dark energy.
both are in production and you should be able to test them before you buy.

I was just using the 101 as an example.
