I've betten the bullet, so I'll keep you all posted on the synth and my dodgy playing

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1371484289' post='2114426'] Are you talking about the new version of the Korg MS20, or the controller that you could get with the original issue of the Legacy collection plug-ins? Having owned an original MS20 and used it as my main synth for many years, I think that they are good (if you like the sound), but on the whole over-rated. The patch-bay looks like it's going to give you some fantastic routing options, but when you get into it you'll find that there's almost no audio path access and most of the modulation connections are managed with a simple set of switches on synths from other manufacturers. So what you are left with is a synth that looks cool, but offers little sonically that can't be done by any other dual oscillator mono-synth, and is actually much harder to set up for more complex sounds. Of course if you're using the plug in version then you can get around this by saving your patches, but as a stand-alone synth it's not so good. My advice as always would be to look at the Nord Lead. Mk1 versions go for stupidly cheap prices. It does pretty much everything that the Korg MS20 does, It has patch memories so you can use it easily with out a computer, but it also has a fantastic MIDI spec that asigns every knob and switch on the front panel to a MIDI CC for ultimate sequencer control. If I could only have one synth, this would be it. [/quote] I'm looking at the MIDI controller with the smaller keys that comes with the software Thanks for the info!

I'm starting to play synth in some projects now and I'm looking for something special. I found the Korg Legacy collection Ms-20ic or something..| As well as this sounding [i]like [/i]the real MS20 it looks cool, we people like things that looks cool huh? I know they have small keys and that the quality of them isn't all that great but I really want a controller thats going to look killer on stage as well as function half decent and behave it's self. Has anyone used one? Do they work well?

I've been playing for 6 years. Most of my playing well.. nearly all of it has been based on live performance and working with bands. I'm getting older and I'm starting to notice what I'm lacking. Theory, I really want to lock in with my scales (major,minor, pentatonic + different positions) learn the circle of 5ths, reading off the stave and brush up on my notation. For me I feel it's going to open new doors with my playing. How do I go about this, what have you done to learn and improve your theory?

Awesome

[/quote] Thought my rick sounded pretty good though a my LMII if I do say so my self. I prefer it though a tube head though
