System 8 or Deepmind 12?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi all,</p> <p>I have the opportunity to grab a system 8 for $900. I currently have a Deepmind 12 and I think it’s pretty decent; I was new to the synths and it really made learning about synthesis easy. However, I’m really interested in vintage Roland sounds and hence my interest in the System 8. I know you can achieve the Juno sound through the Deepmind and I definitely have, but something about it isn’t quite as satisfying as the System 8 videos I’ve seen—maybe it’s the filter? I can’t quite explain it. Also, the Deepmind offers so many different types of sounds that I don’t really see myself using...I’m mainly interested in lush vintage pads for indie pop or psych pop music. </p> <p>My perceived pros of Deepmind: -more voices, more effect/ mod options, two LFO’s, aftertouch</p> <p>My perceived pros of System 8: -great filter, tons of oscillator possibilities, super accurate Juno and Jupiter sounds</p> <p>What do you think? Should I pull the trigger and sell the Deepmind, or hang onto it?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/ElmosWorld1243"> /u/ElmosWorld1243 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/ozlcoc/system_8_or_deepmind_12/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/ozlcoc/system_8_or_deepmind_12/">[comments]</a></span>
