I've been out of the scene for a few years and technology moves on etc.. Before I had a Roland XP10 which was OK.

Can anyone recommend the best 2nd hand synth - around 300 quid which would give me some mellow analogue sounds -strings, stabs etc.. not too bothered about realistic sounds. Basically something to play around with. I have PC with Cakewalk which I use for acoustic.

Cheers

psylichon - yes, I'd love to try it out. I'll buy it if I like it. How big is the file - could you email it?

I see you've cross posted eh?? :-)

Well to answer your question (again!).. for £300-£400 squids:


STAudio DSP24Value £89

MAudio USB Keystation61 £120

Synapse Audio ORION PLATINUM 3.5 £127 ($199)

Total = £347!!!

Check out Orion Platinum at www.synapse-audio.com - it's like Fruity Loops (some would say much better tho') :-)

i forget the exact designation but there's this old korg fm keyboard - 4 octaves with aftertouch. it's the korg 707 of some kind. if you can find someone selling one used, it's make a nice controller (4 sliders) esp. with a knob box. paraphrase if you've got the itme it can be worth ging through classifieds with a browser window or two open.

You must have a look at the waldorf pulse, it has anlogue oscs an analogue filter and digital envelopes. I have decided to sell a couple of things and track one down. The demo sounds I have heard sound lovely.
They were about 700 quid when they came out and you can now buy one brand new for £200.(Only from turnkey though I think)
