Yeah I figured I would have to sample or buy some sounds but i'm cool with that. Man, everyone has the keyboard versions; I need something compact that I can take with me to gigs and just hook up a korg padkontrol to it.
ASR10 looks really good but so does the kurzweil 2xxx series. And then again, any of the synth racks (nord, waldorf, emu, roland, and access) are fair game too.
I know i want to do this because I've been using my iphone synths + guitar to make some sick ass music haha and I think having an actual synth would be less cumbersome instead of the iphone.
I just haven't ever owned any hardware synths so I'm really a noob at this stuff.
