You said you were a loner , mentally ill, porn addict...we are still processing.
The only question I could make out was; what would any of you go get? the poly-d or the minotaur set up?
Neither. Just get a midi controller. Use a DAW. And choose a VST synth or samp.
Plenty of youtube how to videos. Ask specific questions. Be cool. Its just people.

Well I'm totally confused - what topic are we talking about that has this grief in it? In one of your other posts, you mentioned about going to college. I'd be very wary.
I'm an ex-college tutor myself and the quality of short courses is usually extremely variable. You often find colleges with excellent kit, and useless staff, or great staff and no kit, and worst of all - lots of people with hugely varying abilities and experience. Don't assume you will get anything other than really basic level stuff. Frequently you get somebody sign up who has loads of great gear at home and wants extra skills to work it with others who have loads of skills and want free studio time, plus the person who has no idea about electricity but wants to record his awful guitar playing and dreadful songs.
If you have head issues and a low tolerance to idiots - you could find it frustrating. Progress can be slow - any group sessions pitched at the bad guitar player, explaining that a microphone has to be pointed and are not magic, and these little flat things are SD cards, and yes, they go in computers. "Oh - you can't use a computer?" entire sessions hijacked by the guy who cannot right click. One told me that the computer had a virus and kept calling him an invalid. It was saying 'Invalid entry".
Here in the UK we have loads of Community Music projects - I avoid them like the plague - I did a few, and you had a room full of talentless folk who wanted to use music for therapy - but had no musical ability, and I was expected to develop it!
On the drum machine front. I have to say to my shame that I didn't know there were people still using them, because the VSTi drum machines are so much more friendly.

One of the better rhythm VSTs is MPC Beats by AkAI. I think its free.
sampler? Waves makes CR8 a sampler that is very effective. It comes with a vast library of samps.
A synth? that does those Minotaur sounds..Go Sylenth1 it has 256+ voices on a single patch. Thats better than omnisphere.

I so have got to find this thread now. Sounds like it has everything including a now disgruntled forum member who is now disillusioned with his fellow members.
I'll say one thing about this garbage community, we often make an effort in even the most lost of causes. Anyone remember the mic for Nom Chomsky thread. There isn't a left of center intellectual I dislike more than Nom but yet we all took the time to listen to the most inane of discussions in order to help poor Nom more clearly spout his nonsense.
Currently we have someone who thinks they can hear 6.5Hz and claims his neighbor is aiming some military grade sonic weapon at him because of what I don't quite understand. And what exactly are my fellow garbage community members doing. Yup, trying in earnest to help them out.
It'll be interesting to see what direction this thread goes in. Just remember, the advice you get here is worth every penny spent.
