[SatelliteSNEt]

hi im looking to buy several different gear. first of alla 61 key synth whith retro and space sounds and effects(not to ezpensive, max. 600 bucks). Im between the korg X5D and the Roland alpha juno...anyone can give me their experience, pros & cons and reviews.

also im looking foward to get a small midi cheap synth just ( like casio)for my drum machine so they can be attached via MIDI for tone generator use, i would like some help with that... it would me be better if it has sampling and sounds of things like birds, (animals), voices, things like glass breaking, mmm bla bla bla ( you get my point...). thanx some much for your help and time people.

oh! i have a alesis phonton 25 midi controller and i wanto to know if it can do the work of that mini synth im looking for tone generator, especially for that purpose, (not using softwares or usb on computer)

Photon will do that for you. Being as sampling is a possible requirement, check out the Triton LE (W/ sampling option). Check EBAY, you can probably at least find a base model for around $600 or so, and you could add the sampling option later.
