it's so difficult to decide!! now, having seen / heard clips of what the m3 = radias i'm kind of leaning towards that. I think i'll do more research on all 3. thanks again, you guys, for giving me some valuable 'pointers'

Many thanks, guys, for your responses - although i can't say that i'm any nearer to choosing! :) I suppose that i am leaning more to the fantom x6 (less expensive) but will take a closer look at the yamahas - and also the korg m3. But, with any of these, would i still need my midi keyboard to run my...

I'm considering purchasing either a roland fantom (x6 or g6) or a yamaha motif (xs6). I am looking for a workstation / synthesizer that can provide trance / dance sounds (also Pendulm-esque), but also the sound of older synths (ie moog, oscar) AND even nord lead-type sounds. I'm asking for alot, i k...

Just bought the novation v station vst but my FXpansion vst - rtas adaptor won't wrap it so that i can run it in protools le8 (on windows xp). I think the problem might be that i haven't activated it but i can't do this until it's been wrapped (as activation is required when it is first used). Has a...

fair play to you mate. Simple, as you say, and fun. Had a great time messing with it. Keep it up

great stuff, plenty to check out there. But discoDSP discovery or discovery pro best emulates the nord lead?

Cananybody recommend a softsynth that emulates the sounds of a clavia nord lead 2 or 3? Also a mini moog?

i've just installed predator onto protools 8 (had to install the vst and use fxpansion to wrap it as rtas wouldn't install). This is the first plug in i've installed other than the other plug ins that you get with PT8, the problem is that when playing predator the sound momentarily 'cuts out' for a ...

I'm going to get some vst plug-ins and need a vst - rtas adaptor. I have windows xp and protools 8, so it has to be compatible with these. I've looked at FXpansion but have heard that it will not cope with vst 2.4 format, and one of the plug-ins that i'm looking at (Toxic Biohazard 4) has this forma...

Hey come on guys, give me a break I'm a complete Newbie, remember?
I probably didn't word my question that well in hindsight, but cheers for your help (and the deserved sarcasm)

yes, you're right, it has a 12v DC socket (i was looking for a mains socket!) - but what do i insert int othis and where does the other end go?

Do you mean on protools or is it something i need to install/

Anybody know what synth is used on Rhiannas Rude Boy? Also JLSs One Shot? I love the synth sounds on these tracks.

Cheers. Much appreciated.
The Axiom has no AC Adaptor so i guess it needs the USB connection to my pc, and the MIDI cabling as previously suggested?

ok, thanks - i have a Digidesign 002 Rack with Protools LE 8, but i'm not sure whether it' vst compatible as i've only used RTAS
