Hi guys, hope this question isn't too dumb - I'm feeling a bit out of my depth!
Basically, I'm forming a new band where I'm planning on moving from guitar/vocals to synth/vocals, although the synth parts are mainly one-finger drone notes, melody lines to accompany guitar lines, that kind of thing. I need a synth that:
* Is pretty portable/compact
* Has reasonable drawbar organ/piano sounds, generally more realistic sounding pads and strings than daft rave squelches and dogs barking etc
* Is around £200-£300 to buy new or second hand
* Can be as new or old as you like as long as it's reliable.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've used a MicroKorg but all the sounds are too contemporary and gimmicky to fit with the style of the band, which is kind of sparse, post-rock/gothic/new wave kind of thing.
Would really appreciate your help!
