Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie in the process of researching a synth to buy, and I need some advice. Here are some useful details... I will be using this live, and as a controller keyboard with the computer. I want a range of quality 'normal' sounds, particularly piano, electric piano (Rhodes, etc), organ, and strings, as well as 'synth' style sounds such as pads, FX, etc (similar to those found in Reason, ie the samplers and Subtractor and Maelstrom synths). I don't need lots of drums, guitars, or other instruments - just 'keyboard' sounds. (He says, stating the obvious)...  I want a reasonably good keyboard (preferably with a piano-ish feel), but the sound quality is more important to me than the keyboard quality (although I realise that this will affect playability - I just want something good, not stellar and expensive). Sequencing is not important, although some limited sequencing may come in useful in the future. I don't mind if it's an all-in-one job or a separate sound module and keyboard. I don't want to spend too much, but I'm willing to be realistic in terms of paying for sound quality. Any suggestions? Any ones to avoid? Any ones that are particularly good value for the money? Thanks, Neilsonite |
