Synthesizers

What type should I get?

[loansindi]

Wow. Okay.

Do you mean hardware or software?

What kind of music do you produce, and how do you produce it?

Do you already play piano or will you be faking it up?

Are you performing live or recording?

These, and many more, are the questions we'll want answered before we can help you.

Second hand Access Virus classic.

Or an old Nord Lead.

And this is why we need details, otherwise people are going to say 'this particular expensive synthesizer', with no other information there's nothing else to do.

The other thing is do you want a "fake" synth like Omnisphere that contains the samples already? Or a real synth that lets you go from a sine wave to a saw bass.

Ehhh, I was being serious :[. Either of those synths would be a good introduction to synthesis, and will last for a very long time. Plus they are among the best sounding VA synths in their price range.

If they are indeed out of his budget, all he needs to do is say so, and I can suggest something a little more modest.

If you're just starting, I'd recommend the Roland Sh-201 or the Alesis Micron. :)

[Khuskan]

If you don't know what type of synth you want, you should probably not be considering buying one yet.

Actually, and SH-201 would be a pretty good choice, if the price is right :)
