Hello 3351!

Thanks a lot for your valuable information! I know several things about MIDI since I use the Sibelius music program to compose apart from my piano. For the time being I am not that interested in having a synth with very realistic sounds, though certainly it wouldn't be a problem if I bought one which had, lol! What I really need to know is whether I can create, or better, synthesize new sounds using a synth and then move further and create soundscapes, you know, like Steve Roach's music...

Love,
Alexander
