I need a good synthesizer for a prog band. We venture into progressive metal.
I don't need it to have strings, horns or anything symphonic besides keyboards. I'd like it to have good piano and organ emulation. Anywhere from Hammond to baseball organ. Able to jump from creepy carnival staccatos to more ornate and Bach inspired sweeps.
I also need it to be able to produce waveforms that I can only describe as industrial. But I don't really want harsh distortion. Just something that is reminiscent of percussive machine-like sounds. also need flexible options for synthesizing custom waveforms.
The synthesizer should be inexpensive. Preferably under $1500 dollars. I understand this is an odd request. Thus, if you know an organ that can play either types of sounds but not both, just recommend it anyways.
