Hardware soundmodules

[deadlyfreq]

whenever i hear sound module i automatically think rompler..

but if we're talking about synths, which i assume is the case, then there are much cheaper alternatives available in the software realm. there are lots of software synths that stack up against their hardware counterparts. IMO you shouldn't be getting a hardware synth nowadays unless you know what you want and why you want it.

yeah better stick to your mouse

was that supposed to be sarcastic or are you actually agreeing with me? unfortunately as this is the internet it is hard to tell.

I'm looking for a SOUND MODULE, not a classic synthesizer. I want to get some rhodes sounds, trumpet, deep-pads, basses and all other stuff.

I thought about some roland - jv1080, 990 etc.

The Roland JV/XV-series are good for what you're looking for.

So is the Emu Proteus range and it's derivatives.

As the previous poster said, the JV-1080 is very good for this, especially since you can get them so cheap these days. Try to find one with as many expansion cards as possible,

ahh sorry
when you say a module it usually means a digital synth.

the nord electro is the best for pianos, organ and clavinet. they did a rack version of the electro 2.

for pads i would use an analog polyphonic synth.

trumpets, saxophone and stuff like that is better with software.
