hi everybody, i need you to recomend me a synth, but the problem is that i only have US$600. I want good leads and digital sounds, harpsicord, strings and piano, but there are too much synths to buy that i do not know which one to choose.

I really need your help!!

I want good leads

Hum...i think that this is not easy....depending of what do you need.

You'll never find Jens lead sound as a preset.

Look at Yamaha and Roland. I'm getting a Yahama PSR275, but that's probably a bit too basic for you (i play bass and only a tiny bit of keyboards on the side so i dont need anything more than that)

Korg make some fine, fine stuff as well.

Whatever you get, make sure it has a SmartMedia card reader, General Midi and can be used as a Midi controller. Most things have built-in sounds which are pretty good, and you can always edit them.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Oh and btw, Jens uses guitar effects racks with his keyboards, so look here for a list of what he uses:

The Yamaha DX7 which he always uses is out of production now, sadly.

he uses the dx7 only as a controller...so dont be too sad.

Btw if someone is interested in buying a morley-jd 10 dist box...i can sell mine.
