So, i'm getting a synthesizer soon and i've been looking around for one but can't seem to find a good one. I don't know too much about this stuff, so i'm gonna ask you guys.
Anybody know of a good synth?
I don't mean visuals, i mean ability. I need one capable of doing alot.
Cheers.

....Biggest waste of money ever.

I see it as no more of a waste then a guitar or anything else.
I get easily bored of Fruity Loops. I prefer more practicality.
Unless you were getting at something else?

Guitars are a waste of money too.

Get a keyboard, you can do sooooooo much with one.

Fallen is totally right on this one. I mean why would you get a program to make music. When you can take it in reality and it's much more enjoyable, but harder. :P
But who knows, you may even become a professional music maker and will make money out of it. So buying a keyboard is a really recommended choice.
But it's your choice thought.

Whoa, banned for trolling.
S'pose i'll have to reply on this account as my other temporary account got banned aswell.
WTF?
A synth is pretty much the same as a keyboard. It's like an upgraded keyboard. Unless that was sarcasm?
EDIT:
Are you serious?
A synthesizer is the type of thing that makes electro. It's not a computer generated program.
Enter Shikari use a synthesizer, along with many other good bands.

Don't get a hardware synth. Buy a macbook, buy software synth programs and buy a MIDI-keyboard. A hardware synth is pretty much a keyboard with a program that lets you edit/apply effects to the sounds. With a macbook you can download a hell of a lot of different programs that works as synths, It'll be just like a hardware synth, just with better options and more to do.
Some good software synth programs are Reason, Logic Pro and Korg Legacy collection.
If you still want a hardware synth the microKORG, evolver, electribe or Korg triton are rather good. I highly recommend buying a macbook though, I just did it myself.

i basicly recomend the same thing, except for the whole macbook thing(eww)
just go out and get a MIDI-Keyboard. to my knowlage you can get a fullsized keyboard for like 150$ or so.
