Hi guys im new to the synth world, I play in a band and want to add a little something to the sound i.e. a synth. I had two in mind the Korg ms-2000b, and the alesis ion. I done alot of research on them, but since I don't know alot about synths it's hard to judge, perhaps someone from here can give me a good idea to which is better, or better value for money etc. I love the idea of a vocoder and I know that both of these synths have one and is a big selling point for me, I also like pad like sweeping sounds.

Thanks
