synth

Hi Marc
I would recomend the Roland Juno Di synth - you should be able to get it for under $1000. It has only basic sound editing, but has 100s of excellent synth sounds and reproductions of pianos, organs, orchestral, rock and jazz instruments and percussion. Has some great interactive features and a good built in sequencer. It is also compact and lightweight. Probably mopre of a synth workstation.

I still use original 1980s analogue synths for my live gigs (tragic) and have many classic analogue synths and a few 1980/1990s digital samplers still in operation too. I also have a fully digital studio with many types of digital synths and instruments - some amazing software reproductions of classic analog synths out there such as Arp and Moog. Laptop based live work can be great - many friends of mine do this - but I've also witnessed many live meltdowns with both PC & Mac lappie setups - painful.
