i am considering buying my first analog gear and i am interested on one of these 2 (for the budget) and would like to hear some comments or opinions....witch one would you go for and why?

i've never used a hardware synth before so i need a little help....

thanks advanced.

i would definitley go for a nordlead rack. i own a dsi mopho wich is a single voice tetra. the sound is great. it's like stripped prophet (mopho is built like the prophet only 1 voice, same for the tetra).
the only thing i hate is, that the programming of new sounds is almost impossible without a software editor(only 4 knobs you can define controls).
i think the nordrack is much easier to program an tweak. you got much more synthesizer for your money!!!!

hope that helped. peace

thanks for your comment, i read that abot the mofo, great sound but programing sucks....but what i read now from tetr4 is that is like 4 mophos (still great sound) and this time comes with some sofotware editor....

The Nord is not analog its virtual analog!

If you want analog then you have to get the tetra. the software editor looks good so i don't see why anyone coming from a computer background would find it hard.
