I'm seriously considering buying one of these babies from the States. I mean for £130 its a total bargain! The same thing over here is like £300 minimum.

Is most of your setup hardware sequenced/controlled via midi in Cubase?

It isn't very old- it looks a bit like the style of the groovebox line...

It's one of those God awful Roland NameRape(tm) synths. Leave the old model names alone, Mr Roland!
130USD is cheap though.

Paco,
Nah it ain't 130USD its 130 UK Sterling which = 250USD.
Ceri,
I've got some hardware, which is basically a Behringer MIXER, Sony Minidisc and a Korg 05R/W sound module but its ill though. So mainly I just use the Soundcard with Midi Control Keyboard and do everything through Cubase VST using the Soundcard plus VSTi.

i have one. you should well invest. Its a bit of a bargain at 130 dollars i've gotta say as i paid about 120 quid for it.
the basses are ace and some of the pads are beautiful....it also has a handy "chord function" which i love.
also, it has some old 808, 909 and 606 drum sounds.....
ye'll love it.

you might also consider seeing how much you can pick up a novation a or k station. i have both the sh32 and an A station, and although i love the sh32, i get heaps better sounds from the a station.
A station and K station are bassically the same thing except the Kstation has a small keyboard, and i think is a little less polyphonic than the a station.
anywho....something else to consider.

Big difference in price though as I can see it. The A Station is about £200-300 more.

hepburnenthorpe,
The A Station basically is twice the price but looks bloody good too and I've heard it superior also. I'm glad that technology is better priced in the States.

I have the k-station.
got it 2 weeks ago. The price is going down (it was discontinued... rumor is they stopped it, to make way s k-station 2)
anyways, i think its hot as shit. the interface is sooo user friendly. I havnt even opened the manual once, and I can work my way around it like no problem.

WeaklingChild,
You do get a lot of power from a piece of hardware vs straight up software emulations of hardware. Each piece of hardware is like a PC in itself so there are benefits to hardware over VSTi and software. That said I'm a massive software advocate but I just figure for something so cheap and similing so powerful its worth getting.

That Alesis Ion looks interesting - though one review said it was skimpy on the low mids which made it sound thin.

I just bought an mks-80. It's wonderful, but it introduces a whole new problem . I have to now buy a decent soundcard and midi device if I want to route the synth back to my computer. So that 's more money. I was thinking an m-audio audiophile.

What you need, bogala, is the PG-80 programmer and the MKS takes off to another level of fun.

Can you use the programming surface in realtime? That'd be fun.
I imagine you can use any programmable control surface though, right? I mean, the parameters respond to midi CCs, not some weird proprietary thing, I would hope.
