At those prices, buy neither.

If you look hard enough you can find a Nord Lead I keyboard expanded for $450 or so.

I have a CS1X and I basically only use it for aa controller, or I often use sounds on it to rough out a piece. Later on I'll program a sound to replace what I've used on the Virus or Nord.

Now I looked for old Nord Lead and jp8000 synthzs. I can�t found one. I�m just seraching around on swedish places for them. Hmmmm...problem. So buying CS1x or CS2x is a bad decision?

well, they are not "proper" synths at all, thats your problem. trhey are "romplers" which mean they come with some pre-programmed sounds plus a few ways to tweak them, but *no* possibility to program your own sounds from start. so, if you can live with that, then at least get the CS2X since it is probably slightly better than the CS1X, but as people said you'd be better off with a real synthsesizer...

if you're in sweden search on www.vendolin.se, you'll always find a secondhand nord or virus there

Hmmm. Thanks guys for the tips. Now I tried to find a Nord Lead 1. The problem is that it�s to expensive for me. The virus synth?? Can�t find that one. Just a lot of equipment called Virus bla bla. So can you write down more specifik what you call this synth

It's an Access Virus. You'd be looking for the "A" specification, probably. Also look for

Roland JP-8000
Yamaha AN1X
Novation Nova

If a Nord Lead 1 fully expanded is more than 500usd, it's overpriced. And trust me, that 100$ difference is worth its weight in gold.
