Hello synth forums!
I'm a VH/Yes obsessed guitar player in jazz guitar school looking to get a synth because synths are awesome and insanely versatile and flexible and cool. What I'm looking for is this:graded, high quality keyboard, and a way to expand sample/midi soundfont memory(like a flash memory card slot or something). I just want a high quality synth that I can download samples/soundfonts for and get all the chill 80's and 70's sounds(think Yes, ELO, Zeppelin, old Micheal Jackson, Dead or Alive, Rush, Talking Heads, Dire Straits, Duran Duran, Van Halen, etc.) along with any other midi/sample stuff(like video game music samples, whatever Vince DiCola used on the Transformers the Movie soundtrack, voice samples etc.)

Hmmm... Maybe I did'nt need to write all that. I just want a very solid synth by itself that I can load up with some 1GB flashcard or something so I can get any sound I want.

I'll probably be running this through a mackie mixer straight up at first, and when I get the cash for a keyboard amp I'll mic that. I don't know about synth recording though, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Tell me everything you can think of regardless of price if you can, but my price range is probably about $800-$900. Thanks!
