Not sure what you're asking here. Are you looking for a synthesizer that is good for producing pad sounds, or a controller with pads for playing/punching in drum parts? |

First, it's annoying as hell having two of the same thread, so please stop responding to the other one and keep it to just this one, OK?
Second, I still don't understand what you're looking for and I don't think you understand your own terminology. When you say "trance pad" are you referring to a pad controller like this:

Im pretty sure he is talking about the patch type "pad" sound...
Any synth can do a pad sound really as long as it has the normal ADSR amplitude envelope.
That basically means any synth that you can controll the Attack, or the time it takes to reach peak volume, the Decay, which is how long and fast it takes to get to the Sutain level, which is the meat of the pad sound (long sustained notes) and the Decay, which is how long it takes for the sound to peter out after note release.
99% of software and hardware synths will allow you to do this and they will have presets for synth pads.
Something that confuses a lot of people is that they think a keyboard = a synth. This is not true. Synths can have attached keyboards, or they can have no attached keyboard. The synth should be thought of as seperate from the keyboard that plays it. Lots of us use a MIDI only keyboard to control our hardware and software synths. They are usually much cheaper than a full on Triton keyboard with its own patches, and far far cheaper than some keyboard equiped hard synth. Usually they also have assignable controls as well.
If you are just starting out, there is no real good reason to invest in a keyboard untill you think this is right for you. Almost all software allows you to program notes by hand.
Beyond initially playing something and messing around with it on my keyboard I hardly use it. Most of my adjustments and stuff are done with keyboard and mouse. |

Just to check, why do you want one?
You know it doesn't produce sounds but can be used to trigger a computer or other synth to play? Sorry if you do, just wanted to check :) |
