Hey Paul !
lisdexia - I think I dated her...

The word studio doesn't imply a room full of mixers, recorders and racks and racks of gear. A studio can mean "a place where you can create" or simply work.
And I think by getting a .com synth you'll get what you've always wanted - An instrument that you can create with. it doesn't matter whether you create sounds or music. It's all art.
Later!
