Hey, world! Help? As a piano player with a desire to experiment and some $$ to spend, I find myself in the market for a "getting started" synthesizer. I'd prefer 5 octaves, with the ability to play around with wave shapes, attacks, etc., so it appears that "electronic keyboards" without the ability to do some elementary programming would be the wrong way to go. The Roland JX-3P begins to look like the right ball park. Anyone willing to offer some advice? Thanks, Steve Smith ihuxw!bufford (don't ask) 312-979-0716 AT&T-Bell Laboratories, Indian Hill

The Yamaha DX-7 seems to be a really nice machine, although it performs
differently than the Roland. The Yamaha uses Frequency Modulation to
get its rich complement of sounds, while the Roland uses Harmonic
summation (I think). It goes for $1995, and its little brother, the
DX-9, goes for $1395.
