hello list.
ive somewhat recently begun composing, and also experimenting a little
with sound in linux ... so far though i only have a schumann baby
grand piano and this gentoo linux workstation. i decided earlier this
week to branch out a bit and purchase a synthesizer; and i figured i
should poll this list for suggestions. my budget is pretty slim though
... $500 max. new/used ... new/old ... analog/digital ... doesnt
really matter to me. i just want rich sounds and plenty of knobs for
twiddlin'. :D
I would get a decent MIDI controller keyboard and use software synths.
Especially with modular synths, you have to put in a bit more work, but
the varietly of sounds you can get is enourmously wider.
