TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

So now that I am enjoying a situation where the household income is just my income, and I have some new financial freedom (read, I can buy the shit I want, when I want) I'm looking to get myself a synth.  Basically, something I can use for composition that would give me some great flexibility in terms of the kinds of sounds I can create, but also just play when I want to tinkle the (faux) ivories.


Anything you have that you'd recommend?

Wish I could.


However- Naked Guy plays the synth. I might ask him.

As someone who is quite keen on having faux ivories that approximate real ones well, I am happy with the Roland FP-4. Not very portable, it has many respectable keyboardy and chromatic percussion sounds, plays nicely and I'm sure that the wizardry of MIDI would make it, coupled with a PC, sound a million shades of strange, though I haven't tried this.

What's your budget? Kurzweil makes pretty awesome, weighted-key synths. But they are fairly pricey.

I'd probably finance it.  I was actually thinking about a Kurzweil.  My music Prof had a really cool one with tons of voices and sounds, and even had this slider bar where you could hit a key, but then change the pitch by sliding a finger up and downthis ribbon.
