Hi all,
As a complete newb to the world of synths, I recently got a Komplete Kontrol A25 which is great and really versatile software synth, does most of I want in terms of recording in Reaper, however......I now need a hard synth, the madness has begun.
I'm leaning towards a Behringer Pro 1 as mostly interested in soundscapes and Ozrics or the Orb type sounds, building background etc, not acid house!
So the question is that I will need a keyboard for a Pro 1 but is it totally necessary or will it be easy to use the A25?
Or........what else should I be looking at with say a £700 budget?
Cheers

or a couple of the cheaper Yamaha reface units - the CS.
We have an Arturia microfreak in the band which can do a lot.
but... today, the iPad and a few of the synth apps could be best use of money.. Korg got a lot of their classics synths emulated and apps like Korg gadget are packed with cool stuff. The free Synth One is pretty cool.

I guess the Pro 1 is the 80's classic sounds that I've always aspired to but no keys. Deepmind looks really good too.
More hours googling and reading internet opinions required!!
I'm not a synth obsessive but for me it ticks every box , it is a far, far better synth than I am a musician that's for sure.
This is a quick recording I did a few weeks ago........
