i'm looking for a multitimbral rack synthesizer. something to control from my yamaha rs-7000
i don't want something too hard to program and it really doesn't matter when it was made but maybe a hidden gem going for a good price on ebay
maybe at least 4 parts?
Thanks

Well without any info, like what music you're doing or what you expect, I'll just mention this Korg M3r is pretty good, and maybe you can pick it up cheap. http://cgi.ebay.com/KORG-M3R-SOUND-MODU ... dZViewItem
don't let the low battery scare you; a $3 battery and install easy enough even I could do it.

Novation Nova (there's rack ears for it).

(you didn't specify your budget and you didn't mention if it should be VA or samplebased).

No offense, but if it really doesn't matter why are you asking us? search ebay for $500 racks and see what comes up. It sounds like you're asking opinions for what you should get when it sounds like you don't really know/care what it is.... or at least thats the impression I'm picking up...

Dude, they totally dont make multitimbral rack synths, so you should just, like, give your 500 to a local mental disability charity.

Roland JV1080. 16-part multitimbral, sample-based, has drums too. Does decent impressions of analogue too. I'm not sure about prices across the pond but here in the UK, an un-expanded JV1080 would set you back £150. That's what I paid for mine, which was in mint condition.

how much are you selling it for?

the UltraProteus is the coolest synth in the history or history as long as you get a computer editor.

How much do you want to pay?

I was thinking it's worth around $400. Is that fair?
