I recently decided to add a new synth or two to change up my sound. Since I'm in the market, I've been in the music store checking out some really nice synths. I've really begun to fall in love with the Roland sound (considering getting an XP30). I have access to a korg Trinity and like it very much also. I've hear really good things about the Triton (but when I tried it soon after it came out... it's "pre hype" days, I didn't remember it being the "knockout punch" that everyone NOW says it is... although I though there were some good sounds in there). I'm also liking the E-mu stuff... I recently check out the Proteus 2000 (liked it- -but for the most part... very safe sounds), but I'm waiting to hear the Mo' Phatt before I buy one of those.
So what synths are you guys into lately?? and Why??? Also tell the general styles that you're into. I do a variety from Pop to R&B, some Hip-Hop and some modern orchestral. Right now, I use a Roland JV 1010 module (will probably sell it for a Roland board with keys), an Ensoniq KT-76, and Alesis QS 6.1 and a LM-4 Drum Module plug-in. So as you can see my "sound" is pretty "safe". I'm going for something that can do some really wild and extreme stuff.
