do you know what a filter envelope is?
if not, keep playing around with software, or it will be a waste imo. |

I agree, without knowledge of basic synthesis you'll be wasting money. Try your luck at the many free softsynths available before going to hardware. There's plenty to choose from covering all types of synthesis. When you've decided on what type you like the most, move on to look at the features available in the hardware that you are familiar with, the features that you are willing to give a try, and always give them in a try in the store you are purchasing from before you buy. Happy Synthesizing! :D |

not sure i agree, if he wants a synth he should just get one, one of the simpler ones, preferably bought on ebay or something, just to learn stuff. if it doesnt work for him he can probably sell it again for the same price and not lost anything.
u get Korg MS2000, an olschool rack-synth very cheap, and its an ok synth to learn basic stuff.

I'd recommend the Roland SH-201. A fairly new synthesizer, wit a very good layout. Good synth to get a first grasp on synthesis.

| I would just have a trial by fire and get a virus b. You'll learn it quicker than you think and be thankful you didn't buy a piece of crap. |

| My first synth was a virus and boy was I glad I didn't get a piece of junk. The SH-201 MIGHT be an acceptable first synth, but I definitely wouldn't go with a korg... ever. |
