YMH: What synthesizers are readily available to you where you live? Just wondering if your choices are limited. I don't know if I would necessarily agree that Korgs are better than Rolands for making electronic music. The Korg presets may be more "synthy" than the Rolands, but that's only thing more ~electronic or "techno" about the Korgs. Especially with the Vintage Synth expansion board, the JV/XP/XV synths, with their fairly sophisticated programming capabilities, are well-suited to make the fat basses and warm pads, emulate the TB and TR sounds, sync the LFOs, and do the filter sweeps you often hear in electronic music. Are you able to hear each synth you're considering before you buy it? Make sure the synth you buy suits your "sonic taste". Just in this thread, I know that Matte and myself like the recent Roland synths and don't care for the newest Korg workstation, while Arvon45 loves his new Korg and has some issues [eh, Arvon? ] with Roland. It's all highly subjective. As for AIDS (Analog Imitating Digital Synthesizer[s]), your choices under $1300 (here in USA) are vast. I can think of about 15 different models of these synths that would make you happy...

Thanks pstares, Wilkes
To be honest, I "ONLY" own Korg X2 for 6 years and now I'm looking for my 2nd synth which can supply more "electric" feelings.
About TR Rack, I tried that one before (but not throughout though),I felt kind of "cold" about its PCM waveforms(maybe "cold" is just the definition of electric music???).But for sure I'll try TR Rack again since I've heard so many pros...
It seems that JV/xp/XV series have more expansion capability than Korg's products (i think),and that's why I'm considering Roland as my 2nd synth....
Refering to "AIDS" (it's an interesting name!!!),I like their warm sounds,however most of them don't have enough polyphony as my 2nd synth .It may be enough for a lead or synth bass, but I think I need some "body" first and then some lead voices,am I right?
