I am after a good synth for producing progressive house. I am looking at the Nova Desktop, Supernova and the Titon le. Possibly the Virus as well. I have to keep it sub-£700 for my budget is low. The main thing I am looking for, after good nasty sounds, is the capability to produce good strings/pads.

Any help is appreciated!

The A-Station.

Oberheim analogs do nice pads, so does the Microwave XT. I'd not warn against romplers if the guy is specifically looking for strings. If you don't have a sampler how else are you gonna get 'em?

Nova is nice too...I just love mine. If you like creamy, warm and fuzzy pads..or airy ones...it can do it nice and easy.

errata is right... 700 for an A-station, 1000 for a Nova. The A has only one polyphonic patch available , the nova, 6-superrnova, 8!

Id never get an A staion, a waste of money.
