Save up for a Moog Sub 37.

Fucking this. Own one and its a killer synth

You really cant suggest anything in between no synth and a 1.5k synth? Dont get me wrong, I've got to fiddle around with the classic moog in my college so I'm very interested in getting my own but i dont think i could morally justify spending that much on an instrument at my family's current econ. situation.

The microkorg has a vocoder, and pretty much any of the microkorg clones like the novation mininova. Your pic is also not a bad choice for a first digital synthesizer. There's a good few other choices that are analog (mini/microbrute, timbre wolf, etc.) but they are monophonic and are more for basses and leads than for pads and vocal samples.

Youtube is great for demos and reviews. Ebay and craigslist are your friend. If you buy on craigslist, make sure stuff works before you hand over all that dosh. GL OP!

Have a look at Novation Bass Station 2/UltraNova/MiniNova depending on what your needs are.

Try out a non-hardware synth first. I like Arturia's Prophet V and VS vst. The VS has a great old school horror movie synth vibe and the Prophet V is a great, simple classic.

Use your computer keyboard then consider an actual midi keyboard.

If you insist on the physical route I'd recommend avoiding a synth that has a lot of menu driving. I started with an old Yamaha DX100 which makes some of my favorite synth sounds (some early Aphex twin deflated pads) but the menu driving can be a pain. Synths are first and foremost supposed to be FUN. Knob twisting and turning is where it's at. Of course, I contradict myself by telling you to try a VST first but I think it's good to see what you like and what specific things make the sounds you enjoy.

THere are so many synths out there it's easy to get overwhelmed. IF you want to get overwhelmed check out Legowelt's synth collection on Youtube. He plays them all and you can get an idea of the flavors.

Also I'd appreciate that you try to use the n-word less often. Please take the information I've offered you as a sign of good will with respect to my request.

>>54710278
if you use a soft synth you eat up very valuable monitor screen space
