So I've looked at tons of websites reviews and have tried talking to people in certain stores (bad idea, they just try to sell me the one that is most expensive) about which synthesizer would be best for me as a beginner and it seems that it mostly comes down to the microkorg and the alesis micron (my price range is between 200-300, maybe 400) for just right now! since its my first one I don't want to spend too much money and cant (fashion design school is burning a hole in my pocket) I really just want to understand synthesizers and the process of creating music with them..I want to learn the technology which brings me this-
There has to be other synthesizers within that price range besides those two synthesizers-maybe you've heard this question before and if you have I'm sorry but I've spent hours looking through this forum and other places and I just need to ask what would be best according to what I would need it to do and what my personal flavor is.
I need creative freedom- I love really strange weird, f**k up sounds that don't sound like the typical synth sounds that you hear in every song on the radio or the typical ones that first come to mind-analog is very important! ofcourse I want to create my own sounds but as a beginner it might take some time before I can get to that point. Sequencer is important aswell..and normal sized keys, I hate that the microkorg has those tiny toy keys it drives me insane! but there has to be others out there that are a little newer maybe between 5-10 years old in that price range that can do what I want! live sound is important aswell as having all the basic plug ins I know the older ones don't have as much..
Please help me before I go insane! this is all really overwhelming and I would really really appreciate any advice..thank you so much! and I hope I made sense to everyone its like learning a new language! but I promise I'll get better with it next time I ask a question
