it's a good choice for the money... but the korg microkontrol 49 and novation keyboards offer some very nice features for not much more money... IMOdandmantra wrote:For Midi, I suggest Evolution MK249c.

I am partial to the Access Virus myself. It is by far one of the best sounding digital analog remodeling synths out there today. Incredibly warm tones for a digital synth. You can find the Virus A and B desktop models on ebay for 600-800 bucks. The desktop model doesn't have a keyboard so you would need a midi controller as well if you plan on playing the keys. Otherwise you could edit everything in.
I also like the Juno. You can't really go wrong with that classic and you can pick them up fairly cheap these days. The only problem with the Juno 60 is that it is not MIDI controllable so everything you play has to be recorded in as audio. The Juno 106 does have MIDI capabilities I believe.
I messed around with the Nord Lead 2 this weekend. You can get some pretty good sounds out of it, but they all seemed a little thin and tinny. It is a great synth to have as an addition to a studio, but I don't think I would want it as my only synth.

Have you ever bought equipment through e-bay?

To date I haven't had any problems buying anything at all on ebay, from curtains to equipment. I have heard some bad stories though. You just really need to be sure that you are buying from a reputable dealer. I ususally try to buy from music stores or people with extremely high feedback ratings.

if you're gonna spend that kind of money on a midi controller you are better off getting the korg microKontrol 49poserBrian wrote:has anyone had a chance to play around with the m-audio ozonic yet? i have been fantasizing about getting one and would like some feedback from anyone whose gotten hands on with one.
