I just wondering if I should buy a cs1x Yamaha for 300$ or a cs2x for 400$? Hmmm...anyone? Suggestions?
Please mail me or post it in here. Thanks

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.

A question. What is the purpose, what do you want to achieve with this new piece of gear? Do you have other syths/drumboxes/samplers as well and you want to get new sound, or this would be your first synth?
What kind of music would you like to produce?

I have a synth right now. A Casio CTK-611 it will probably say nothing to you. The problem is that the synth sounds so "cheap". Like real "midi" sounds. This is hard to explain. I want a synth that I can download new sounds to on the net, and get some powerfull soundeffects, if I want the Europe - Final Countdown sound I will download it into the synth. I also want a synth that can have a lot of layers. My general purpose is to use my new keyboard when playing in my band. My big problem is that I canīt afford more than 350$. Suggestions?? Hope you understand what I mean.
Thanks. /Viktor

super cheap ($200 usd new) but lots of possibilities.

If you just want alot of the "basic" sounds to make music that isn't synth-centralized, then the CS would probably work out. There aren't any other rompler keyboards in that price...except for maybe that Emu thing- it's new 500, so might be in your range.

If you want a real 'synth' that you van program you may want to check out tha an1x after all, but if it's for a band, I'd say the cs2x would fit the bill just nice. There's tons of extra sounds on the web and you can make your own.
It's not at programmable as the an1x or the nord or the virus or even some of the more expensive romplers (like the cs6x or a jv) but it's instantaneous and has a decent sound.

What about a AN200??? Pretty much a scaled down AN1X isn't it (innit)?
