I've always wanted to get into the synth keyboards though I still barely know much about them. But I was hoping to change that soon and outlive this noobishness
All I know about are FM synthesizer keyboards (Which sometimes has a Sega Genesis style sound from what I've heard) and Vector synth.
I'm thinking of what to get for my first keyboard So far though, I've been interested in the Yamaha DX7 (FM based) especially, as well as Korg Wavestation (Vector synth based) because I loved the sound of them out of the videos I watched but depending on what I end up learning I may be looking at others. I really liked the DX7 because it had the same exact tones that were used in video games I grew up with.
But there's a couple noob questions that I need to ask before I start pursuing this sometime soon.
In a series of Keyboards, lets say the Yamaha DX7 for example, would all it's successors from DX11 and all the way up contain all the same exact sounds of the previous models but just with more sounds, and more options etc or would they all sound different?
Considering how long it's been since those keyboards have came out, have they ever made a keyboard that had multiple synths in one? Like a keyboard that had the option to be played in FM or Vector for example.
I know it's only two questions for starting a thread, but it was hard to find answers to questions as specific as these. But besides that, and since I'm new to this I would appreciate any given info, advice, recommendations, links, tutorials involving these keyboards. Every model mentioned here are the only specific models that I know of.
Thanks.
