What Do You Guys Think Of These 3 Synthesizers

MACHINE · 24th April 2006

Yamaha Motif ES
Access Virus TI
Roland Fantom X

Im just getting into the synthesizer game so I wanna start out by buying these three what do you guys think ?

I don't exactly know why you'd want to buy both the fantom and the motif.

Of course I'm not familiar with the preset sounds in them.

Motif and Fantom cover a lot of the same ground.
Better get just one of them and use the money that you saved for a real analog synth like the voyager or the se-1x!

The Motif and Fantom are NOT synths, they are workstations.

depends on how you define the word synthesizer.
the fantom has oscillators and filters and a mod matrix. it just happens to use sampled waveforms instead of analog ones and i can get some pretty synthetic sounding noises out of it.
