Roland Fantom X
Nord G2 Modular
 
I definitely recommend the G2 if anyone wants to get into modular synthesis.  (Much more usefull and less expensive than a full rack of modules--but definitely not as cool or intimidating looking.)

I have a lovely Technics PCM C300 Smile
 
 
 
I managed to buy this for £10 at a jumble sale, quite a good price. It's quite a fun keyboard.
 
I can't find anything out about it though, there doesn't seem to be any information on the net.
Anyone else have any of these?

I got a midi controller by edirol and that's it!
I also have a novation bass station, but i'm looking for a "multi-use" rack synth, for a good price, if someone could help me. Price? AROUND* 0-600$ used

*Can extend a bit my price....

There's a Music and Sound Engineers mag called SOS (Sound on Sound) and features many Music Equipment and Software, even Synths.

I have a Korg Triton Extreme Music Workstation/Sampler. That's all I really need without getting a bunch of specific instruments.
All the old familiar choruses come crowding in a different key: Melodies decaying in sweet dissonance.

|f you want a real analog (not a digital reincarnation) go for DaveSmith Evolver, it's cheap , kraftwerkish and awesome. Also, you may want to try MFB Synth or SynthLite (poor man's minimoog). There are numerous TB303-clones on the market both new and used, most notably MAM. Technosaurus is also worth investigating. You can squeeze some astonishing sounds from these little machines.

For that price range you can find some virtual analog polys: Korg MicroKorg or MS2000 or Alesis Micron/Ion they're both awesome machines. Novation (cheaper) and Access (cooler) have some nice thingies too. Or E-MU VintageKeys if you don't mind digital heart of the machine.

I currently have a 20+ year old Yamaha PF-80 Electronic Piano & an M-Audio Radium 61, both of which I'm using as controllers for a whole bunch of soft synths.

The Yamaha has held up remarkably well over the years. It was purchased in Florida & has been the Germany & back, & since returning to the US its been to Arizona, Massachusetts & for the last 13 years, its lived in Central Texas.

I'm thinking of getting a CME UF-6 to replace the Radium. The synth action really blows.

Oh yeah, I still have a minimoog but its stored in its case. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it.

Do you want the old stuff (PolySix, Oberheim OB-8, Prophet-5) or the newer midi able analog style synths? Whatever you buy, make sure it is opposite the piano so you can stand up and stretch to play both, with your paisley shirt unbuttoned like Emerson.

BTW, minimoogs are selling for well in the thousands nowadays.
