yeah I did think that, but then I heard that with a bit of knowledge of FM synthesis you can get some very twisted and usual sounds out of the DX-100....

^^have one too, but i kinda dissected it, mainly to get the speakers out in try to build a soundsystem on my bike (with a 8"sub) 
But you a lot more talkin going on about teh microkorg, and it's considered being "legenderay" somehow..

yeah ive heard that FM is pretty shit hot when you know how to program it, which is why i'd like to take the time to learn it whilst im away.
does anyone know of anywhere where I can hear some more samples of what sounds the microkorg is capable of producing? and dont say the new prodigy album!!!!
all the clips ive found online are the same as the ones on the official korg site. I really need to hear some more sounds before I can really make up my mind.
oh and this may sound like a stupid question but is possible to emulate in 'real' instruments with the korg? piano in particular.
cheers

FM just enables you to multi-timber sounds, that are just fuller than most analog synths that do mono-timber.
but there's also a lot of programing to get decent sounds out of FM. so if you got the time, FM would probably be the more promising of the differetn types of synth, only because it's time consuming.

yeh but the last thing id want to be doing if im on holiday/ on my travels would be programming synths all day.........much easier if youve got some decent quality presets you can tweak to get the sound your after. and less time consuming.......

im not really planning to be spending all my time playing on the synth - its just a kind of hobby/something to keep occupied on those quiet nights.
playing guitar & learning a form of synthesis seems to me, to be quite constructive, interesting & entertaining.
