What kind of synthesizer should I get?

Question

I'm thinking I want to play synthesizer but I'm kind of lost as what kind to get.I'm a beginner.I want to be able to play normal piano with it.Maybe to connect it to a PC(that isn't really a big deal right).I want to be able to play music like this:

I'm not sure if it takes years of hard work to play like that or just synthesizer that does that.
Thanks

Answer 1

The best that your finances ca afford.

Answer 2

If you want really good results, get a MIDI controller for you computer and a program like Reason, or any other MIDI sequencing software. If you want a standalone setup, the Roland JUNO D has pretty good synth and piano patches. Much better than all the stuff at normal stores anyway. Just go to a Guitar Center or Sam Ash and start messing around.

Answer 3

I'm gonna be honest any thing in the world can get that sound. I have keyboards, sound modules, analog synce you name it and he is NOT playing that that well my 12 year old son can play that crap. Your easy to satisfy get anything.

Answer 4

Don't get a synth - get a moog! Everything sounds better with a moog.

Answer 5

KORG or YAMAHA
