Subject[Csnd] (OT) Recommendations for my first hardware synth?
First, sorry for the off topic question. I don't know of any communities out
there. I'm wanting to get my first hardware synthesizer but I have no idea
what to get or what to look for. Any recommendations? I want to make trance
or house music but I'm not limiting myself to those two genres. I do not
have a budget so feel free to name anything. I want a synth that is flexible
as far as the variety of sounds I can create and I will be playing live with
this. The one I want is the Minimoog Voyager XL. Also I don't have the
luxury of play testing synthesizers where I live.

Are you a solid two-handed keyboard player? If so, you need an instrument
that has at least a five-octave keyboard, preferably semi-weighted keys, and
a reasonable amount of polyphony.

Are you planning to play in a group, or as a solo performer? If the latter,
you need a multitimbral instrument with a built-in sequencer and probably a
suite of good drum sounds -- in other words, a workstation such as the Korg
Triton or Yamaha Motif.
