If it sounds like V-Station, dont go for it. |
You clearly haven't looked beyond v-station's presets. |

i have to agree here.
i think these cheap novation synths are ridiculously good value for money. |

Oh, the presets are bad alright.
But i mean, spend the money on something else and get the V-Station instead. |

get whatever you want... maybe there's somewhere that you can play with a bunch of different stuff and make your choice then?

Absynth 3

B-4
& prob a few more I'm missing.
I have one more I want to add like Massive but I'm getting sick of softsynths.
I actually got the majority of them 2 years ago when I was doing barback. I since quit the job to take up something that pays but in another couple of years I'll be out of school and getting paid decent again.
So what I meant is right now I'm broke.
I've decided to get the Xio NOT for sound quality but I figure since I need a midi keyboard I might as well dish out an extra $200 to have the experience with some hardware.
I love the fact alone that I don't have to be chained to my computer while I'm making melodies and can be pretty much anywhere in my house making patches.
Thats prob the real reason why I want it, plus it really did sound decent to me. Nothing like a Virus obviously but I'm excited just to get a piece of hardware. |

Not if you have a little thing called The Internet. |

that attitude will lead us nowhere... if the developers don't have money to put into developing new stuff, we get no new stuff

| Just watched some videos on the xiosynth. Sounds exactly like v-station to me, which you already have. I would just buy a good midi keyboard and save up for a decent hardware synth. |

Well its on its way so its a little too late.
I watched videos on the X-Station, K-Station, MicroKorg and Alesis Micro and honestly the only one that seemed to "glow" a bit was the K-Station.
I wasn't about to embark on a year long journey trying to track one down.. than having it break and being out the cash.
I figured at the level of the xiosynth I'm not really going to see a huge difference in sound unless I save up another 5,6 or 700 dollars. So it wasn't really a practical decision to make.
I wound up - believe it or not, finding the xiosynth on amazon for **$245**, called the seller and he said its factory sealed and they have great feedback.
So in reality, I only spent another $100 compared to how much a midi only keyboard would cost.
And I'm SOOO ing excited just sit down with this thing and see what it can do.
My programming skills are enough to make it worth it at this point.
I can't stop thinking of idiot parents who by this for their kids, they have no idea wtf a synthesizer is, than the sits in their closet and collects dust for years.
This little guy will do what it was born too. MAKE TRANCE BABY!!! |
