Need help choosing a synth!

[SpinDoctor]

Im looking to get my first synth or sound module or something like that. Currently I use reason and cubase and was wondering what would be the best one that would integrate into those programs nicely. Im looking to spend about £300-£400 and want to get something that has nice synth sounds sortof like just blaze and timberland, if anybody has any recommendations, holla.

Peace

how much is 300-400 pounds in $?

£300-£400 means about $750 (although audio stuff is cheaper in the US) for that kinda money I would suggest the Yamaha S03 http://www.zzounds.com/item--YAMS03 or the Roland Juno-D http://www.zzounds.com/item--ROLJUNOD

Man i would get the motif rack, u can cop one around here for 1000 us dollers, the price will be going down dratically when the motif es rack comes out.

1.motif rack
2.roland fantom
3.jv-1080

novation bass station (make sure it is the original analog model) is a nice buy. you know if you want one fat machine for all you synth bass sounds. i recently sold a couple of analog synths (keyboards too bulky) but i thyink i'll get a novation bass station (rack) when i get an analog synth again

you should seriously save the extra cash and *WAIT* because the motif rack is going to come down a bit very soon.

get the motif rack; you will not be dsapointed, i promise you! i had one, and classic currently has one, and its a beast of a machine. its a great piece, and one of the few modules that can say that it covers all the basses adequately- but keep in mind it does have its weaknesses where other modules are stronger, i.e, its not an orchestral powerhouse like the roland xv/fantom lines.
