New user interested in a workstation

[skysc]

Hi

After owning a Access virus for a month , i think im interested in playing & keyboard , l was told the best option wasnt really a synth like a Access virus but more of a workstation .. to have drum , sqeuencer etc..

i have no experience in dance music . im a guitarist but i like eurodance, dance trance very much . I'm really after that 90's fat synth (saw) like Mr Vain etc..


i just want to play live without really recording , .

i looked at the korg kronos but since i'm a beginner and the Kronos is expensive , i was wondering what would be a best option for me to begin .

I'd really like to learn to play keyboard and compose dance song . Is there a all-in-one package that would gave me goog result .. having fun while learning .

Most of the 200 $ keyboard station ( casio etc..) i heard are like organs or pianos sound ... im really after synth sound for trance and eurodance ( saw and super saw) . like professionnal sounding workstations .

any suggestion ? budget is not really important . i can afford a kronos nut would probably buy it use so i wouldnt lose too much if i decide to resale .

can a all-in-one workstations achieve the quality of a professionnal synth like a Access virus TI , clavia Nord Lead etc.???????

Hello skysc!

For your needs, if you can live without a sequencer and use a computer, look into the Yamaha Montage which is very EDM focused. The upcoming Yamaha MODX (mid-range Montage version) may work as well. Both have a lot of those types of sounds. Also look into the PSR-S series. The Kronos still has a full sequencer. Previous-generation models are nice as well from the various manufacturers. At the extreme high-end, you have the Yamaha Genos. Not sure what section you could post this in for more views. Maybe someone else can comment.
