may be too much

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got a mpc2500,cubase with many vst and I wanna buy a synthsizer,I was thinking about the Triton extreme.Yesterday I tried the Triton ext,the motifs,and the fantom.But now,I look what I got and I say,I already got a sampler,the mpc,so why should I get the Triton?may be something of less expensive,a workstation,I mean would be enough?But wich one

I mean you just got the 2500, right??

I say take some time to learn it(6 months), learn it inside and out.
Go on a sampling craze for a while, sample any and everything you can and make some good music....
Then you'll be in a better position to make a choice as to what you need next.IMHO

whoa man,I got it since march,that's why I try to take the right decision

you should check out the Roland Juno G, which is equipped with
lots of sounds from the Fantom. best buy for the money.

also interesting seems to be Korg micro X, which has the
Triton Rack inside. but to get full benefit of it, you need to
connect it to a PC for full editing.

Juno G has a PC editor, too, but can also be edited without a pc

cheerz....

ok,I'm on it,but if we forget about the price of those things,what's really better for me here now?I'm ready to buy the extreme or the Juno G or the micro x even a Triton le,but which one will be cool with my mpc and cubase to make it all up?I mean if I got a mpc,why would I get a triton extreme?what's the most?

You don't really need another sampler do you? You just want a workstation? All you really need is a midi keyboard. Just chop some waveforms in the mpc play them on your keyboard.

yeah I just want a workstation,you got it,so wich are the good ones?

check out Korg Triton Extreme,
Yamaha motif ES
Roland fantom

i'll go for a good synth without sampling and sequencing features.
check the clavia nord lead, acces virus TI keyboard (very good semi-weighted keys, here in italy it costs around 2200 euroz)

yamaha mo6

i'd save some cash by taking the cheapest one of these two (triton or phantom), and grab a DSI Evolver. You'll be covered. The evolver is real analog goodness...and not expensive.

Did you get any vst-i's or just effects and dsp plugs? You might wanna take some time and learn the vst's you got if you haven't already. I don't know which ones you already have but if you already have a vst version of a workstation i.e. Steinberg Hypersonic or a virtual synth of some kind that might already cover your needs. Just get a cheap midi keyboard like the M-Audio keystation. Otherwise I'd just suggest getting a cheap midi keyboard. Then if you still decide you want a hardware synth you can just cut down your expenses and get the rack version of whatever synth you want and use the midi keyboard to trigger it. Considering you already have the 2500 you can just look for a rack that doesn't have the sequencer and sampling capabilities that something really expensive like a triton or motif has.

I got a M-Audio KeyStation 49e that I use with for my vst and sometimes with the mpc for some melodies things.I must be tottaly stupid,but the raison why I want to take a synth workstation is that simple:I'll make my battery things by the mpc (and everythings like sampling things and all you know), and I want to make melodies with an eventual workstation,I'm fed up with the vst,and I'd like to take less time on searching things in vst(ssss).Of course I'm gonna keep my Cubase computer,but I want a synth-workstation a sequencer to make the melodies in,to then, sync all and record in cubase or may be in the mpc...(It's gonna be in cubase for me)

so what do yall think?

Man, FORGET Roland, Korg and Yamaha. The sound of TODAY is ANALOGUE. PURE AND SIMPLE. THe best samples come from Analogue sounds and real instruments. Analogue drums synths, Analogue Synths vintage sounsd are key for todays music.

Buy ONE good Analogue Synth. DSI Evolver line is a great choice

Some gear I like right now...

MINI Moog is a weapon. Should think abou buying one sometime in your musical career. The sooner the better. Trust me, you'll love it and you'll never sell it.
If you must buy a VA, BUY A freak'n Virus TI. It's another weapon. 100 voices, digital filters like a mother f-er.
Future Retro Revolution
JOMOX SUNSYN (heck, anything JOMOX is awesome, www.jomox.com)
Anything from Studio Electronics.
DSI sytnsh are good and priced right.

Go to Analoue Haven.com and talk with one of the owners, they will guide you through the world of wonderful sounds. Synths you will never sell, instruments with their own personality, hand built. THEY ARE ALIVE!!!!

Okay, the gear is expensive. No doubt... Save your money and buy one good piece of Analogue gear every year and then keep it for ever. You won't regret it. Hell, you can sample the sound and sell it to recover your cost.
