Suggestion please... I wanna buy a synthesizer

Hi..

I have $750 (USD)...


1. I wanna buy a synthesizer.

2. I'm a beginner and hobbyist, not a professional player.

3. I like to make a simple music (ballad, soul or ethnics etc). But sometimes i like to make electro music like linkin park (but without include the dirty guitar)...

4. As the Hobbyist, I just use the fruityloops and Sonar before this, to make the music and sometimes I use my yamaha psr-79 keyboard (the old one - since i start play keyboard)...


5. I need the advice to make a choice...


Million Thanks.

Hi Bro_Zul,
Just click on the tek gave you,then type synth keyboard in the box,then push enter on your CP keyboard.
That will give you a lot of information!

Yes Bro_Zul, at the top of your post there's a small icon of a pad and pencil! If you click on it, you can edit or delete the post!
Comes in handy if you want to change something in your post or if you happen to push the button to many times and get to many copies!
Best Regards,
Nobby
PS: Sorry Stalker, my mistake! I changed it!

Links don't need to be clicked twice.

Bro_Zul:
Sounds like You are searching for a workstation. Just try some used ones, e.g. Korg Trinity, Roland XP 60/80, Kurzweil K 2X00, GEM Equinox (very cheap), Yamaha SY99 or EX-5/7.

By the way: didn't we recommend some synths in one of Your posts some month ago? A post similar to this?

He's taking it to a whole new level! Asking twice! Never occured to me someone could be so cruel.

-tek

I didn't mean that he posted it NOW twice (as he did), I think he posted this even some month ago.

Hmmm... maybe... But I change my mind.

I just wanna buy a synthesizer. not a workstation.
In the past i ask bout the synthesizer or workstation... But now, i just wanna buy a synthesizer..
workstation is so expansive....

Anyway thanks...

Well yes, Stalker, that's what I meant too

If it has to be an allrounder: Roland XP-30. If it doesn't need to have keys: Roland JV1080 or 2080. If You want to have analogue feeling, what about a Roland JP-8000, Clavia Nordlead, Oberheim (Viscount) OB-12?
Or a JD-800. No allrounder, just an easy to program digital synth.
No, I'm not working for Roland .
BUT: for 750 USD You will only get such a professional instrument second hand.

Hi BroZul,

for $750 buxx you might get a Korg MS-2000 or
an Oberheim OB-12 (maybe even a Roland XP-8000, used). PHAT sound! Check out Ebay.

i agree on the xp-30 suggestion...great all around keyboard, for a good price, i snagged mine for 820

While the MS2000 is an AWESOME synth (I just got one) It's not one I'd reccomend as someone's only synth as it has only a four voice polyphony. I'd reccomend something with a higher polyphony. A good website to check out is http://www.vintagesynth.com/

It's got a LOT of info on a lot of synths, new and old, plus sound samples of most of them. It's a good resource. Synthzone.com (of course) is also a decent resource.

you can get Ensoniq ts10 cheap used, maybe for 750$. Good many sounds and builtin seqencer. Also easy touse. im looking ofr arranger for breakbeats to sync with like yammha psr2000 but cost too much but sounds good good luck

Bah! The TS10 doesn't even come close to the standards on the SQ-1+. Then again, I'd rather drive syringes under my toe-nails before buying another Ensoniq synth.
