Nope... For strings [orchestral, solinas etc] and sci fi, pads, atmospheres I recommend JV series.... Realy ass-kicking

Or XP80, as The Master

Yes, and you'll owe money, the JV1000 only cost 300€

You will be able to buy a JD990 with that

Lucky guy you are

Now you have a JD800, you recommend it to everybody

You are right, it is really a great machine, some of my friends have it and the sound is amazingly good, it's in my wishlist

So, Trig ?

Ah yes, and to the JD990 and JV1000, add a Solina String

Well, I could have said Obxa, Prophet V or something good ol' analog like that too.

An Oberheim OB would be a great idea, and the Prophet5 too

But for this price, dunnow, they are becoming quite rare nowadays...

ALESIS ION
Pretty much does anything, but is good for pads.

Oh, again you !!

Poor jarrekid, he only knows one synth
But I would say : no enough polyphony for pads
