    Default Debating between a venom synth or mf3d

    At the moment I have a akai mpk61 midi keyboard and a APC40.

    Trying to get something new, and I've narrowed it down a M-Audio Venom 49 Synthesizer($200) or Midi Fighter 3D($250).

    I mainly just make my own music, I never DJ. Ableton/Logic user working with EDM.


    The MF3D looks like so much fun to screw around with, but at the same time I feel like I'd get too distracted with it

    As for the Venom, first of all it would be my first Synth and it's loaded with a bunch of gnarly presets that you can tweak to the brim. I also feel like I'd get more out of it in the long run.


    OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE, help me choose!

    Two different things buddy. If you dont DJ, do live performances and such, then dont bother with the MF3D.

    From a producer standpoint, the Venom looks better in terms of what you should spend your money on.

    If it were up to me, id save a bit more and get a bit more. Theres nothing worse than buying a piece of gear purely based on price only to regret not saving more for a better piece of kit.

    I really enjoy using the weekly sound packs from mad zach on my mf3d. I really like to use it to make new clips and beats.

    I'll second what Janky said. Save up for something better. A used korg MS-2000 can be had for a few hundred more on ebay, and is WORLDS better. That venom looks kind of meh, but then again, I'm also looking into getting a Virus TI snow at the moment. lol.
