YO!
So, I'm in a hardcore band, and I really add some sexy synth shit to our music. Kind of like a Devil Wears Prada thing, or like an Enter Shikari thing ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98Qy6FhugBY[/url])
Thing is, I have no idea what to look for in a synth. Can someone please clue me in on what to look for? Or like, give me ideas of what to buy?

Haaalppp!
A synth meaning you plan on programing your own sounds?

Also how much can you spend?
something I posted a few weeks back
Things you should be looking for in a synth is the following
what type of synthesis does it do, I.e wavetable, subtractive, additive, FM, granular
how many oscillators it has (in FM based synths these are called controllers)
what type of waveforms does it have (or wavetables as they are called in wavetable synths, FM synths only have sine wave controllers)
the filter types I.e LP 24/12db HP, BP, notch
what you can route the lfos to
What types of effects are available
if the synth is multi tiberal or not
loads of other factors that come into synths but I think I got the basics
Any recommendation? I'd like to be able to make my own sounds and beats.
any of the virus series if money is no object
And if money IS an object?
I was eying the minKorg Reverse Keys.
pendulum dabble with synth

I think you should just get a controller and maybe FL studios. The best thing you could use would just be an all in one workstation type thing. I mean it really depends on what your doing.

The korg R3 is basically like a microkorg but with full sized keys, easier controls. If your doing stuff live, you might need an even better keyboard then they can give you. I just think you should get a MIDI controller and a software synth if you want cheap.

I made a thread with some general info in which i recommended those [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=855642[/url] but those are small beginner cheap synths, you need more. Do you have a laptop?
just get a microKORG like every other hardcore band with a keyboard and me.
or like Sausage said, a Virus
