I am finally looking into getting my first hardware synth, any advice?

Asked by Arp (3516points) May 13th, 2010

I have been using fruityloops (demo) for about a year and a half, but I think it is time I get my first hardware synth or toy keyboard… I am very excited, but I dont know where to start, because there are so many options!

Analog synths seem more like something I would like, but I would like to know more about them. Also, what is a good price estimate for a quality, first time synth? I am a youngin’ with a small allowance, so maybe you could suggest some good, cheap hardware synths?

A few I am looking at:

http://jacksmusicstore.com/catalog/computer-music/recording/arturia/cmp-rcd-art-c~aa-mim-h

Do either of those look good? I would also love a moog synth, but the one above is the only one I could find in my price range after a quick search.

Thanks in advance, audiophiles!
